Review: Excellent universal remote, works better than I expected - The remote is better than I expected and I having played with one for a weekend before this purchase my expectations were high. I was not convinced I would like the "activity" philosophy of Harmony, but after seeing how well guests are able to use the remote controlling 4 to 5 interconnected devices, all I can say is it just plain works. It is very nice to have a main set of buttons that anyone can master after a few minutes of explanation, while at the same time having the capability to have every desired option for the power user available with a few more clicks is just what I wanted. I will say the setup is not for the faint of heart or the impatient, whoever sets this up and maintains the remote will likely spend a while in the setup on more than a few occasions. The setup application is a web-based application and an online connection is needed. The interface can be confusing until, fortunately if you have the make and model of your A/V devices (very important) the first time setup wizard will get most of the major buttons working. If you are like me setting up the buttons are more important than the LCD listing. After getting the basic buttons working you will likely then try to cram more functions on the remaining buttons and soon run out. Initially this frustrated me as I did not want to change modes to access additional functionality. There are so many buttons available, so you need to find out what works for you. Harmony provides quite a few alternatives for you to choose from. These include LCD listings, an individual device mode, Picture and Sound modes, or combinations of the three. Personally I like the Device mode and put functions that map well to the buttons on the buttons and added ambiguous functionality to the LCD, but this is a subjective choice and everyone will do something different here. On of the big positive aspects of the setup was that the Harmony site is constantly updating for new devices on the market. I was astounded to find a Monoprice branded switch and a brand new (less than 4 months on the market) AV Receiver available with presets. No trial and error with brand odes. This led to a problem, even selecting the exact make an model of a device not all the functions work correctly. The above mentioned AV Receiver was there and about 65% of its remotes functions were listed but I would say only about 20% worked properly. Initially I was upset but I found the learning function of the Harmony works very well. Not only was I able to teach the labels the correct IR command, but I could add the missing ones I wanted and add new lables or rename old ones. Again patience pays off with the Harmony. It might not all be correct but you are able to correct that which isn't. Last thing I want to mention is customer support. After a year with the remote happily working, my father sat on it and the battery cover no longer latched properly. This caused the cover to drop out and sometimes the batteries. Not a critical problem but clearly somewhat aggravating. I called the support line and found the first rep clearly wanting to help. After getting the particulars on the remote I was told a cover would be shipped right out. That did not happen, instead a series of email ensued to determine exactly what the problem was. After 3 or 4 replies to replies I was promised they would ship one. Within a week 2 new covers were sent, configured slightly differently. The second one fit perfectly. Both were free and ultimately I was very happy with how the incident worked out. From my perspective: PROS: Once setup even both of my completely non-techie parents were able to easily watch TV and DVDs without having to navigate 4 different remotes to do so. For all but the most rare use of functionality I do not ever have to reach for my other remotes. If I do I almost always note it and add it to my device listing. When I added a new AV Receiver and removing 2 other devices at the same time reconfiguring the remote was cake, all the previous activity buttons still worked without having to setup again. Having my configuration saved outside the remote means that if I have a disaster with the remote or upgrade to a different remote my setup will be transferable. CONS: Buttons are a bit small for my hands, but still usable. Some of the labels used do not match the default commands being issued, particularly for new or rarer devices. Battery life has been 2 to 3 months for me, but 4 batteries seems to be quite a load. The application interface is pretty cumbersome, but it does work. The application stays resident in the system tray and occasionally consumes heavily on CPU cycles, but it can be easily shutdown and restarted when needed. Bottom line, even though the price seems a bit high, it is truly a universal remote that allows you to shelf the others with confidence.
Review: A solid choice... - You read a lot of reviews about universal remotes, good and bad, but often the writer doesn't say what equipement they are controlling. For reference, I'm controlling a Explorer 8300 DVR, a Panasonic receiver, a Sony TV, and a PS2 I use for both games and as a DVD player. For this this setup, this remote works really well. If you have a more elaborate setup, perhaps that changes things. I think most of the positives of this remote (the elegant button layout, the very good and easy setup, the intuitive "help" when things don't power up as expected, etc.) have been well covered. But my few complaints on the remote are: - As others have stated, having the setup software on the web, running through a browser, seems needless and can be problematic. In Windows, because of SP2 browser security, etc., you're always fighting with alerts and right-clicking to allow files to download and open--it would really be a LOT better if they had an app you ran directly from your machine. I have no idea why Logitech chooses to set this remote up through a browser, but no matter how well they have implmeneted this it would be MUCH faster and MUCH more reliable to have the setup application on your machine. It's almost a "square peg in a round hole" situation. Get this stuff in a desktop app. - Buttons. Why do so many universal remotes (including this one) not have a dedicated "List" button? This is the most prominent key on all the DVR remotes I've seen, yet you have to set this up through the LCD screen. It's strange. Also omitted is a "C" button, which again, is used on almost ever DVR that I've seen. Not sure why these are ommitted and buttons like "Media" have had room cleared for them. "Page Up" and "Page Down" would also be nice additions. I set these up on both the LCD and instead of the "Repeat" and additional "Forward" button are, but these are important features that would be better on the remote itself. - Media button. I found this whole feature useless. Having any guide or show information coming through a remote, favorite channels, etc.--I just don't use this at all. Would rather they dump this entirely and make way for buttons that to me seem necessary (like List, Page Up/Page Down, "C", etc.) -The "Pic" and "Sound" buttons are also somewhat limited because you can only specify that they point at one device each. The "sound" menu, for instance, has to point at a receiver, and the "pic" has to point to a TV. This is difficult to explain, but the "Pic" menu, for instance, typically offers things like "PIP" functions. My TV does not have a PIP feature, but my DVR does. But because I can't have any DVR device functions in the "Pic" menu (it points to the TV only), these features are not as useful as they could be. So Pic and Sound would be more helpful if offered greater customization. - Key Repeats. Don't push on a volume or channel button too many times. If you do, the device will keep advancing/decreasing long after you stop pressing. The remote seems to "queue" up your clicks if you go to fast--that's taken me some adjusting to. On the positive side, what's surprising to me about it is how much better it is than the remote I eventually got frustrated with (but is slightly more expensive)--a Home Theater Master MX-500. The Harmony remote has a much better key layout and has a much broader range than the MX--you can point the remote almost anywhere and it seems to pick up the signal. With the MX I had to point the remote "just so" to get things to happen. Overall for me I found this to be a great purchase--but, like me, you'll probably find there's still a little room for improvement.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Great potential, but not quite there
*by X***S on February 4, 2007*

PROS: The concept behind this remote (configure via the web) is absolutely outstanding! The remote will always be fully-customizable and compatible with all IR devices. The web allows for easy configuration using a fully-graphical interface and wizards. The IR transmitter is pretty powerful. The rubberized backing, interchangeable covers, and ergonomic shape make it pleasing to handle. Fully customizable buttons allow great flexibility. Ability to learn from existing remote controls ensures that all IR devices are supported. CONS: Almost all of the buttons on the remote have the same oval shape and size and they are placed too grid-like. Why is this a con? I like to use my remote without looking at it. I like to keep my eyes on the TV as I feel for the buttons on the remote. Tivo did a wonderful job with their remote -- each key has a unique shape and placement, making it easy to find any key. Using this remote without looking will take a lot of getting used-to (learning touch-typing is probably easier). While wizards are wonderful for initial configuration, there should be non-wizard properties pages for advanced users. I don't want to go trough a wizard every time I want to make a small change -- just show me a properties page. The wizards can sometimes make setting up a customized configuration difficult. While the remote supports several 'activity' buttons (which are wonderful), it does not support any sort of macros or programming. People that need this remote probaly have moderately complex entertainment systems are probably techno-savvy. This is the type of person that probably wants to be able to fully control the remote, so something like ability to create macros or a scripting language would be greatly appreciated. I use it to control all of my devices (DVD player, receiver, cablebox, etc.), but not for my Tivo. When simply watching TV (a.k.a. watch the Tivo), I use the Tivo remote because of its easy-to-use key placement. Great product overall, but it needs a few enhancements -- both physical and logical.
