Logitech harmony one remote3/14/2024 I may be mistaken but I don’t remember that being possible when I brought my first and last Harmony. My Shield TV can power my TV and AV Receiver on and off and control the volume all from it’s own remote. These all erode the problem all in one remotes sort to solve which was remote clutter. TV’s with inbuilt digital tuners and satellite receivers not requiring additional set top boxes, sound bars built into TV’s, Android and vendor operating systems carrying apps not requiring additional boxes. Not to mention we now have HDMI-CEC since Harmony started and what were multiple devices consolidating into one. Owning a £450 fancy remote control is never going to be the next big thing. I don’t personally think there being no demand is really the concerning factor. You can make these types of arguments about anything. But there are also many horror stories of kickstarters and general failing businesses. So I think its going to need to be something special.įor sure, as I said, I don’t see it as a bad thing per se and I’m waiting in line for one. So this all cost me £30 for the broadlink as I already had HA and Nodered in total. (plus broadlink rm minis exist for not 10% the cost of this remote for things on IR). Together with home assistant to make a UI and all these devices having get and set commands I can even create a system that is essentially state aware even when people mess with power buttons and the like. My Shield TV can be operated with ADB and my HD Fury Diva accepts telnet commands. Since, I then found my Sony TV and AV receiver both have apis for IP control far surpassing the IR functionality. I guess I am tainted because a month after logitech announced the discontinuation (even though it was obvious for a long time as there were no new stock available for a long time) I accidentally knelt on my harmony elites screen and now I have a paper weight and no control device. They are complicated devices and I knew few non-tech folks who even owned a Harmony and even with logitechs known brand name and global marketing it still went the way of the dodo. I guess I wonder how these guys will make it work long term where Logitech failed to. Logitech finally killed it so even that doesn’t stand up to all that much but they had a good run. Now thats not to say its bad (I am going to buy one if no bad reviews come out, but I wasnt aware in time to kick start), but it’s nice to know with harmonies they were popular enough 3rd parties were on the internet doing repairs, ebay had them for spare parts, and Logitech was there for what support they where worth and the backing that gave the harmonies coming from a global brand. Its essentially 4 guys and a kick starter from what I remember. Harmony Smart Control and Harmony Smart Keyboard cannot be factory reset, although you may reset your Harmony hub.It’s not a global brand for one and its twice the price for two. If you have a Harmony hub‑based product, then you should also follow the steps below to factory reset your Harmony hub.After a few seconds your remote will be restored to factory defaults and you may sync again.The remote screen will turn off, then turn on again displaying the image of a remote and a circular arrow.Press and hold the Menu button (located above the Channel Up button) and the Off button together for 20 seconds.The light on the front of the hub will flicker red for approximately 30 seconds as the hub restores itself to factory defaults. Unplug your hub and then hold the Pair/Reset button on the back while plugging it back in.
