Expensive remote that does too much

This is remote is great because I can control everything in my theater room to one remote instead of having 5. I can create activities that trigger specific devices and inputs, adjust the lights and select channels. Where it fails is that there is almost too much functionality. Switching between inputs is time consuming selecting the device then scrolling through list of commands. When I switch between activities there can be a long delay between everything turning on. If I have my lights set to turn of for one activity it might turn of when switching to another one. If I use the remote to switch inputs while an activity is running I am no longer use that activity because the remote thinks it is still running. Overall having the 5 remotes is less complicated.

Excellent, intelligent Remote. Combining devices for 1 button action is easy! Customer Service available for short period after purchase and helpful! Cons: Remote small in size for male hand and can be inconsistent on rare occasions. That being said, amazing! Pairs with ALEXA for basic TV functions!

I found this unit to be very good to consolidate all of my remote controlled units. Very easy to install and to program. My one negative is that the touch buttons are very sensitive. As long as you can manage that small negative this is a great unit.

Harmony Elite closet replacement for Harmony One

I held on to my Harmony One for as long as I could. I loved the physical buttons on the remote, and its ability to add lots of activities. Despite the lack of number keys, the remote, smart hub and mobile app really make up for the the lack of them. It’s great to turn on the stereo while in the other room, turn up the volume, and start streaming music from my mobile device.

Harmony remotes are easy to setup and use. I like the hub so that I can use the IR blasters without having to open up my cabinet doors to my equipment. Pretty easy to customize and get setup with the application and the battery life lasts all day and then some. The recharging cradle helps to make sure I don't lose the remote either.

My buddy turned me on to this because he laughed at all the different remotes I had. I’ve used universal remotes in the past and didn’t care for the “codes” required to have the remote learn. This was a completely different experience and well worth it. All my remotes are now in a drawer and this is the only remote in use! No more getting laughed at is a bonus!

I have used the more basic Harmony Smart Remote for a while and found it to be a welcome addition to my budding smart home. Being able to tell Alexa to turn on and off the TV and change "activities" was awesome. I took advantage of a sale to upgrade to the Elite remote and I can safely say it's not really worth it. The display is helpful to address the occasional wonkiness that can occur within activies - allowing you to switch to device commands instead. It looks good and is responsive enough but it needs to live in it's cradle and that was a nuisance for me. I get about two days of light usage (1-2hrs/day of infrequent interaction) before the battery is completely dead.
In short, Elite gives marginally more functionality than the basic smart remote at the cost of battery life and significant expense.

The undisputed king of the universal remote. Unfortunately Logitech has announced they will be no longer be producing new units so when they are gone they are gone. If you have been debating, buy it now. _Best Buy still selling at a good price but many others have already started to raise the price.

I really like the control unit. It takes a bit to get it all programmed but once you do, its great. It makes it so easy to just push a a button and go to the station you want. I still have cable and it eliminates the need for the other remote.

Nice Remote, Setup Takes Time

This is a great remote once it is set up. There are lots of buttons and functions which is both good and bad. It takes time to program and then time to remember which buttons to push for which function. It is expensive, so watch for sales to get the best bang for your buck. Overall, I like it.

So a bunch of years ago I spent a ton of money a Osiris. But as every one probably knows. Technology gets old fast. So some from geek squad recommended Logitech. It's like learning drive again. It does take time to learn and program this. I will give you a school analogy. I'm in 9 the grade I want to graduate! Geek squad is coming tomorrow to do an install for me. He will have me graduate tomorrow!

3 years I’ve waited. It didn’t disappoint. A struggle to set up my invidia shield but once I figured it out it was all good. Haven’t touched another remote since I got this. I know I haven’t tapped into it’s full functionality but it’s still amazing. My wife was impressed when I dimmed the lights with the touch of a button. Highly recommend.

Easy to setup and easy to use. It took all of about 5 minutes. the touch screen is a bit touchy. get your fingers to close and it starts changing channels or going to different setups. Not a remote to hold on to while watching. Use it and then set it down.

The new Elite remote is very nice. 2 drawbacks is the short battery life which is 3-4 days.......and the volume when pressing down should be 1X the time or greater, but doesn't always work. I have to press for volume up/down until it finally kicks in for a rapid fire volume up/down..

Set up the hub/blaster in a closet 25 feet from living room with the rest of the devices and it works perfectly. Love the interface on the system, don't love the lack of physical buttons for the settings anymore. In any case, ergonomically designed, glad they moved the play/rewind buttons down from the top of the remote. I have not had a chance to set up any touch controls, but I imagine they work well.

Very happy with this purchase!! I've had other universal remotes but they don't always work with everything. This controls my TV, sound bar, Xbox One, PS4, Roku and my Hue smartlights. I really enjoy that based on the activities I have setup I can also set a certain scene from my smartlights to on at the same time. I found this item well worth the price!

This Logitech Harmony Elite remote and hub replaces a 9 year old universal remote which gave good service, but had a failed battery. The new remote is easy to program using a smart phone. It is setup to control a home theater with both Tv cable and Roku and replaces the use of 4 remotes. I would purchase again.

We are very happy with our Harmony Universal Remote. It's unlike any Universal Remote we've had in past years. It no longer takes 3 remotes to access some interfaces. We are very happy with it so far. Quick and easy to learn and the Geek Squad gave us instruction before they left.

Harmony Hub is fantastic, Remote poorly laid out.

This is my second Harmony Hub and it works great. Very easy to set up with all my equipment. The remote is laid out different from other Harmony remotes and takes getting used to. Also the numbers on the remote are on the LED screen which makes changing channels by feel impossible.
