If you have multiple a sounder or Home Theatre with an AVR you have to purchase this remote. It will change your life. One thing to keep in mind though is like any other device, it does what it's told so it will only be as smart as you make it. The cool thing is the options to make it smart are endless. I have owned 2 of these remotes for 3 yrs, never regretted it and when I decided to help my brother build his home theatre system this was a must have. How many time have to came back to your entertainment system to watch TV or listen to music and the config was totally off due to whoever was using it last? Well with this remote all of that can be avoided! With the activities you can program which devices are turned on, order, and add additional commands such as the sound mode of your AVR, initial channel for your cable box, or even turn on lights. Working in the dark? Not an issue because the remote's buttons are backlit and force feedback is built in so when you touch a command on the touch screen you know the remote has received it. For the geeks, this is one of the few remotes that can communicate with IR and RF devices. The base that the remote connects to does not speak RF but the remote does. The remote can be customized to use the base + remote, just base, or just remote to communicate with devices. Since the remote speaks to the base via RF it has no issue speaking to any device that requires an RF signal instead of IR. Icing on the cake, Google Home, Alexa, and when all else fails, IFTTT integration supported. This remote is truly of the King of Kings when it comes to remotes. One remote to rule them all!

First of all it’s a beautiful looking remote control. The buttons placement and the aesthetic are just right. Since it’s the Elite - you have the hub which allows you to connect/control all your devices/smart home devices with your smartphone/tablet. Setup - it can be a bit challenging if you’re not familiar with Logitech Universal Remote. I will recommend going through the initial setup process using a tablet (smartphone 2nd option) via WiFi as it’s the more efficient way. Drawback - the battery doesn’t last as long as previous generations; unless you keep it in the cradle after each day of use. (Disclaimer - constant battery charge will weaken the battery life overtime) Overall - the Harmony Elite does all it’s been advertised to do very well and more (compliments from friends).

This is hands down the best remote I have purchased. I have everything in my home entertainment system connected even my new Apple TV gen4, which the remote works perfect with. So far I am operating Vizio, Samsung, Denon, Motorola, Apple, GE, and SmartThings. This remote does it all. I highly recommend if you only want to have one remote to control everything. It takes a little while to set it up with all your devices, but take the time and you won't regret it.
