There needs to be a section for "setup," because that's where this device falters. Configuring the remote on the client app can be a pain in the butt, so I'm knocking it down half a point in the overall rating for that reason. Read the full review →

I have had my Harmony One remote for a little over a month now and after the initial setup I was using it to control all of my devices easily, including an Xbox 360, a PS3 (with the Harmony adapter), a front projector, cable box, receiver and a Lutron light dimmer switch. The remote itself is very... Read the full review →

I don't generally write reviews of products but after seeing all of the super-positive reviews I had to write a contrary viewpoint. I've had three different Harmony remotes (659, 880, One). It's got some good things about it, but in many ways is one of the worst Harmonys I've... Read the full review →

I was always a skeptic of "universal" remote controls. They were always lacking one or two key buttons that forced me to keep the original remotes around. The Harmony One is different though. It supports all of the functions of your original remote via its color touchscreen. The most... Read the full review →

Once set up the Harmony One can make controlling your media center extraordinarily simple. Press one button and everything you need to play a game, watch a movie, listen to records or browse your media center pc is up and running. Again, that is after everything is set up, a task that is neither fun... Read the full review →

My wife hated how many remotes we had around the house, form the surround sound to the tower fan, we had 9 at one point. So instead of getting rid of any of my gadgets I saw an oppurtunity to get yet another one. It has been one of the best gadget purchases I have ever made. Easy to set up easy to...

I've had this remote for a year or so and I cant imagine not having it. When I first got it, I got an earful from my girlfriend as to why I'd spend so much money on a stupid remote. 1 week later, she wont give it up! This remote becomes more and more invalueable the more devices I add to... Read the full review →

I have been using Harmony remotes for a few years now. I first bought the 550 which was great, but far from perfect. For my birthday, my wife got me the Harmony 1000 which is a touch screen-only remote. That thing drove me crazy for six months until I threw my hands up and asked her to return it. It...

I have found this gadget the unifier of my lounge room. With the plethora of media devices from the archaic VHS video player to SAT TV and PS3, this remote has enabeled easy switching and management of each device. Although from time to time some devices do not turn on, you need to be patient and... Read the full review →

The Harmony One certainly does some things well compared to previous models. For a start, the charging cradle just works. Seems obvious, I know, but the Harmony 880 was appalling when it came to it's cradle. This remote feels good in the hand, and was dead easy to setup for me, especially as I... Read the full review →

After being a diehard Pronto user, the Harmony One has been a great change. While lacking in the customization features on the Pronto, the Harmony One's built in logic to track whether a device is on/off makes life a lot easier when you have components without discrete Power on/off. The unit is... Read the full review →

The logitec harmony one is a great remote for ease of use and setup. It controles all my devices including my PS3. I would highly recomend for anyone looking for the ultimate universal remote. Read the full review →

Best. Remote. Ever. The only remote I've owned with better overall ergonomics was my original Tivo "peanut" remote. Well organized and most of all it completely simplifies how we use our entertainment center. The only thing I could wish for would be deeper control of my Mac Mini, but that's really...

Using the software is a pita, but once you have a setup, you don't need to modify it. Huge WAF - being able to get all the different devices up and running with one button is a huge win. Read the full review →

There is no excuse to have half a dozen remotes on your coffee table if you can afford this. And if you have half a dozen devices to go with those remotes, you most likely can afford it. Read the full review →

Pretty good device - I personally don't think universal remotes need any kind of touch screens on them - touch screens are meant to be watched, and i like pointing my remote and clicking away. Read the full review →
