Customer Review: The best remote on the market (if you need it's functionality)
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great product....if you know what you are trying to accomplish. If you wish to control equipment in one room and do not require any of the wireless functions, then the Harmony ONE is a much better choice (great ergonomics, beautiful touch screen). BUT, if you have varied equipment and multiple rooms to control, I have yet to find a better remote. The programming is, for the most part, intuitive and customizable. Having had experience with a Pronto and MX-810, I found the Harmony software excellent. To start, we programmed in control of all of the equipment in my Great Room, including: TV, DVD player, cable box and a karaoke machine. Only one issue was with the swap tuner function, which was corrected with a phone call to Logitech customer support.
We then programmed in the other rooms, including the theater in the basement and my daughter's room, which has an RF wireless extender. I can now take the remote downstairs, hit the "change location" button, select "Home Theater and, voila, the TV, A/V receiver and DVD player in this room is now under my complete control.
One complaint, that could be an especially frustrating for those that have multiple RF extenders: every time programming changes are made to the system, all of the wireless extenders must be updated. This can be an arduous chore if you have installed them behind equipment. This is due to the fact that the communication between remote and extender is made with Z-Wave protocol. The extender actually stores all IR commands internally and transmits them to IR emitters when appropriate Z-Wave signal is received.
Which leads to another reason this remote is so exciting; with more and more manufacturers joining the Z-Wave alliance, you can look forward to being able to control a multitude of devices, even through walls and floors. Leviton has introduced a lighting system (ViziaRF) and several brands of thermostats are available ([...]).
Furthermore, we tested and successfully programmed control of a Roomba robotic vacuum into the Harmony 890PRO. A camcorder or digital camera that accepts commands from a remote could likely be controlled by this Harmony as well. If only my ceiling fan had a IR remote...
Finally, the remote has the ability to load your own images and use them as channel logos. We were able to snag logos off the internet and edit them to our taste, including the addition of an HD next to the channels we receive in high-def.
