  • A handy and essential tool if you put in the time to set it up. App could use work though.
Style: Harmony Companion Remote
Be prepared to put in quite a few hours setting this thing up depending on the complexity of your entertainment setup, but it is very worth it. Some of that time spent can be attributed to the sluggish app, but more on that later. I have a Sony "dumb" TV, a Vizio soundbar, Xbox One, Xfinity X1 cable box, Xiaomi Mi Box 3 Android TV streamer, a few Philips Hue lights, and an Insignia Google Assistant speaker. The Harmony Hub and remote consolidated everything with a remote to just one, and even threw in some of my Hue lights and I can control it all with Assistant to boot. At first I was concerned about the way this handles all the devices using "Activities". I was more accustomed to older conventional universal remotes where you would press a button to pick a device, do what you needed to do with that one, then pick the other and control them by switching devices. Well, I can now say the "activities" concept is much superior. You hit one button and it turns on your TV, audio device, switches both to the correct input, and gives you control over main device for that activity. It has a huge database of devices, you just need to enter the brand and as much as you know of the model number and it will find pretty much anything. I even got some limited control of a Playstation 2 with it. Now, there can be some trial and error involved in the setup. I think the biggest challenge I faced was getting my soundbar to switch to the correct input. It uses a me thing where you just use one input button to toggle between the inputs. This is supported by the Hub, it will simply send the "I out" command the correct number of times based on what it knows like the last activity that was running. But when I tried starting an activity with everything off, it always seemed to come up one input short, until I realized the soundbar needs a few seconds to start up before it can accept cammands, so I found the "power on delay" setting and turned it up a few seconds, so now it turns on the soundbar then waits a bit longer then starts issuing the correct number of inpit commands. Now it works perfectly. I've left most of the button commands it maps to the remote for the devices default, but I dit add a few custom ones such as a sequence (you can have it issue a number of commands in a row, a sort of "macro" I guess) that maps to the DVR button which is unmapped by default on the Xbox One, where a single tap opens the Xbox menu and hits the Y button to take a screen shot with one button, or a long press on DVR to record a video. I get a kick out of that and it can be a bit quicker and easier than having to issue the controller commands. I also mapped a long press on the Mute button to turn the virtual surround sound on my soundbar on and off because I like it on for games and movies, but it makes music sound like crap so I can then easily turn it off for that. I can also start any of these activities from my Google Assistant speaker, which is awesome. I can just walk in the room and ask it to "Play Xbox" or "Watch TV" and it happens. The only annoyance with this currently is that it is currently not a native Home Control integration, so I have to say something like "Hey Google, ask Harmony to play Xbox" but from what I've read native integration in the Home Control section of the Google Home app is coming for Harmony any day now. There is also Philips Hue integration, so if I wanted to I could set different scenes or lights to come on to correspond to different Activities, but I have not done that yet. There are also 4 Home Control buttons on the remote and a + and - rocker. These you can map to turn on and off up to four lights or other smart home devices. I have the two lighbulb buttons set up that one just turns on and off and dims the lamp next to my bed so I can press it and see to go to the bathroom and night for instance without having to use my phone or wake anyone up with voice command. The other bulb button I set for all lights, main reason being if I turned them off with that button, I can then control the brightness of any active lights with the remote. I am leaving the two plug buttons open for future smart plugs I want to use to control some fans in the room. There are a number of people understandably upset about the limited ways to use the remote to control Hue lights, for instance you cannot set either of the home control buttons to activate a Hue scene which is a drag and seems odd as the more expensive Harmony Elite remote can do so with an identical set of home control buttons. However, I'm fine with what I was able to set up. The remote itself is very nice, most of the body is a soft-touch finish and much of the back is covered in a very nice feeling samdy texture that I think is similar the "Sandstone" texture that was available on the back of the first Oneplus One phone. I got the Companion set specifically as I wanted a button only solution (my phone already has a touchscreen) and the lack of a need to charge it every few days vs. the Ultimate or Elite remotes. The only thing that would have been nice perhaps is tilt sensor backlit keys, but once the cool look factor wears off and I get used to the button layout by touch it just becomes a battery drain anyway. Now, onto the app, which is used to set up all the commands as well as can be used as a remote itself. This area could be improved. Each time I open the app, it takes about a minute each time to connect to the hub, and sometimes a little longer because it will occasionally check the hub firmware for updates. Also, almost every setting you change or activity or command you set needs to do a server and Hub sync which can make the initial involved setup even more time consuming. So, the app could definitely duse some work, but the overall package is great, and I think is definitely worth the current price. I may someday down the road add a Harmony 950 (the Elite remote with just the remote but can be paired to the Hub) but for now the Companion remote is plenty useful. So all in all, this thing is great given a little initial time investment, and hopefully the app gets the updates it needs to make it a little quicker to set up and use that functionality. ... show more

  • Powerful Universal Remote, but...
Style: Harmony Companion Remote
It can [probably] do everything it says. It can control many things and you can configure various automations that turn on whatever combination of devices you use for watching and enjoying whatever content you want. It's great for what it can do, if you have the patience. If you like the hub and app idea and think the Logitech remote will empower other users in your house to use the hub to control things, don't be fooled. Without the app, the remote is useless and even with everything configured, other users will never know how to use the remote if they haven't been involved in configuring activities or at least instructed on which buttons start which activities, and even then it is a guessing game to get to the functions they want once the devices they want are on. There are 2 issues I have and these are the reasons I returned the product: 1) There is very little basic information to get started. The instructions talk about "Activities" and they try to show you how to configure those, but it never really explains that an "activity" can, at least initially, be a singular, simple, controller command, such as turning your TV on. Instead, you are introduced to activities as automating something like "Watch a Movie" whereby you have a complex home theater set up with special smart control lighting, a TV, a sound system, and whatever other smart home controlled device you want to turn off, on, or adjust for your movie watching. It explains activities can be configured to have these things controlled with a single button press, but it does not, at least, suggest the use of an activity to accomplish one command. This would be useful since the remote does not do anything by default without activities assigned to it. If you don't want to use activities, you can configure your devices and go to each one individually within the app to access all the functionality of a device's native remote, but none of this is really explained in the instructions and the page layout of device functions is like a bunch of scrabble pieces dumped on a table. Without configured activities, even something as simple as a single command to turn on the TV, the Logitech remote will not control anything. Also, if the remote does not have a button like "Netflix," you cannot easily configure an activity to start Netflix or Hulu on your smart TV. For example, I wanted to create an activity to start Prime Video, but the only way to do that on the TV is to go to the "Home" screen and then use directional buttons to navigate to Prime Video and start the app. The best way I could do this was to configure an activity to turn on the TV, press the Home button, and then repeatedly program a series of directional button control with short delays to get to where the Prime Video app was *at the time of the activity configuration.* If the app moves or if you don't get the delays correct, the activity opens whatever random app it lands on, if any. I had trouble getting the delays correct to consistently navigate to the same spot and it seemed to change depending on what app I opened last since the TV sometimes defaults to starting on that app instead of a common starting location. If that happens, the activity will likely never open the right app. Logitech gets points for defaulting volume control to the A/V receiver if you include that in an activity, but loses points for not having a simple way of keeping volume control on the A/V receiver when you press a button that runs another activity. This is a problem mostly because you have to configure your activities from the standpoint of everything being off. The way things work, there doesn't seem to be a way to have sub-activities that you can assign once the TV and receiver are turned on. If I'm watching Netflix and want to switch to Hulu, even if both exist on the TV's native remote as separate buttons, I would still want to create a Hulu activity that turns on the TV, the Receiver, and then presses the Hulu button, instead of having the ability to just assign a "Hulu" button to the Logitech Remote. If I create separate activities for Netflix and Hulu without putting the receiver in, it is likely that the Volume buttons will not control the receiver since the remote buttons are only mapped according to the devices turned on in the most recent activity. 2) The remote is questionably useful. As mentioned above, the remote is useless without programming from the app. It does nothing by default, except possibly the "Off" button, which might turn everything off, but I'm not sure since every Activity automatically has an "Off" routine once the activity is running. Even if you setup your TV in the app, the Logitech remote will not control any functions on the TV (even the volume and channel controls that are on the remote) without first configuring an activity and assigning that activity to start from a button on the remote. After that, the remote will map the most basic TV controls (like channel and volume control) until the activity ends and/or the device is turned off. Many buttons on the remote can be configured to start Activity routines, but only the person who configures the remote will ever truly know what buttons do what. If the rest of your family wants to watch TV, they will not be able to use the remote without some training. Most cheaper universal remotes have basic device buttons labeled like "TV" or "DVD" to denote those buttons will switch the basic function control of the remote to that device. There is nothing like this with this product. All activities turn on devices and then give commands to change or do something. There does not seem to be a way to assign a particular device button you would find on the native remote to the Logitech remote and there is not a way to assign a button to switch device control to a specific device. They tried to increase the number of assignable buttons by differentiating a "short" press and a "long" press. I had a lot of issues with this. Sometimes the remote seems like it is not responding to any button press, sometimes it seems like it is only responding to long button presses, and sometimes it would register a button press as 2 button presses when navigating menus. If I had 2 different activities assigned to the same button, but one to the short press and one to the long button press, the activity it would decide to start could be anyone's guess, no matter how long or short my button presses were. It was easier to assign the same activity to both the short and long press of a button if I wanted to ensure that button started a particular activity. Since there is no IR control from the Logitech remote, it cannot function without the hub. A connection to the Logitech servers seems to be required so if you lose internet access and/or wireless connectivity, the remote will not work. I might look in to the Elite remote, but it is very expensive, so I am also seeing what other advanced universal remote solutions are out there. The Sofabaton has a screen, almost like the Elite, and an app but is significantly cheaper than any Logitech solution. Like, to-good-to-be-true cheap, but also so-cheap-theres-nothing-to-lose cheap. ... show more
