Logitech Harmony One Advanced Universal Remote Reviews
This is one of the best devices I have owned. Set up was easy (took close to 7-10 minutes) and it operates my TV, Satellite Box and DVD player. I am yet to open and set up my Blu Ray player. This is a must device for anyone having to use more than 3 remotes to operate their entertainment system.
Shipping was fast.
Harmony One purchased for use in home theater system. Devices controlled: Vizio LCD HDTV, Yamaha A/V home theater receiver, TiVo series 2 DVR, Mac Mini running Plex media server software, Panasonic combined DVD/VHS player, classic xBox running XBMC. Setup was easy - connected via USB to my iMac, downloaded software directly from Logitech/Harmony website (CD was useless with outdated version that didn't run correctly on Snow Leopard), connected remote and off & running. I had already identified my devices, model numbers and planned activities, so setup was all of 5-10 minutes of upload/download time. Remote worked perfectly from day one.
Pros: Ease of setup, intuitive, works with just one click, 99% of the time. Works with a broad spectrum of devices.
Cons: Relatively expensive (at least in my opinion). Reliability - this is my 2nd Harmony One. The original worked fine, set up easily, etc. But the device stopped charging after 8 days of use. Amazon service, as usual, was outstanding, and shipped me a replacement remote within days, that has worked perfectly for about 3 weeks now.
Overall, excellent purchase, that has functioned very well for multiple disparate devices including controlling Plex on the Mac Mini.
Does what it says. Takes a little time to setup, but if you have your device manufacturer and model # ready it goes pretty quickly. Purchased as an upgrade to an older Harmony remote which was burning through batteries. This new unit is excellent, has its own cradle that I keep right next to my easy chair, always charged and ready to go.
This is a great remote! One of the features I looked for during research was a touchscreen with hard buttons for channel and volume. When watching movies in a darkened room, it's much easier to change volume by feel than having to look down and squint. Setup was tremendously easy and had all my devices in the database. Out of the package to device setup took about 20 minutes. It took my seven year old all of 10 minutes to learn how to use the device. The touchscreen is not overly sensitive and it is motion activated. You can put it down for a few seconds which will make the screen go dark and when you pick it up again, the screen comes back on. I have used it for about a month and have had no issues with it.
One bone to pick with Logitech. I have multiple harmony remotes but Logitech requires separate accounts for each remote. I find it ironic, that a maker of universal remotes does not have a universal account feature for their products.
I purchased the Harmony One to support a very simple set up that until yesterday was utilizing 4 remotes. A complete pain. After reading the reviews on Amazon, I decided to roll the dice on it.
The set-up took less than 25 min. Im no audiophile by any stretch. I just wanted a remote that I could turn on only components I was interested in. If the cable box is on, clicking "watch dvd" turns on the dvd player and turns off the cable box...that was fantastic. The intuitive set up I dont think could have been made any easier.
This remote is fantastic...I highly recommend it.
