Software ..
Right at the beginning to be able to utilize this: benötig (about 0.5MB) download your Internet around the small great use and install. Then create a Harmony account, which is super handy since your settings / actions which have been programmed to be saved. Here you can upload campaigns or transmitted from a remote control data to a second, and so also from existing Harmony profiles.
The software is described clearly and well. Also, key assignments, the manufacturer deposited (all with me). At the beginning but necessarily the exact name of the equipment should be noted. Your saves you by the search function of the software much learning phase, which you have not at cheap remotes, because you have to teach each command / keystroke.
Keyboard ..
It started all around the TV to control the desktop from the PC time with the Smart Keyboard 2.5 years ago, which I found very convenient. The mouse is unnecessary by the Touchpad The keyboard can be coupled to the hub. You now have the opportunity to also enjoy a greater range. (The infected with the USB stick on the PC keyboard from the outset a high range (with me has a ceiling and 2 walls).
ELRO and those pesky remotes from other manufacturers
Then me all the time annoyed that I had 2 remote controls (for conditioning and TV). And although both came from Samsung and it was partially controlled with a remote control both annoyed me simply. So then came up with yet another remote control to Entertain and what in between anyway ran parallel were the Funksteckdosen. A fine thing, because I was simply too lazy ever to overturn this toggle switch on the power strips. But guess what already is quite simple: Again, there was a remote control. Although small and plain with only 8 keys. But again: 4 of 8 too, as there each on / off separately admitted press.
You notice schon..ich can be picky: D
Harmony Ultimate One
After I had moved and the whole now wanted to have a professional in my first own booth (and, incidentally, not ever wanted to buy more batteries for the whole rumliegenden parts) was needed replacement. Not to mention that the flat batteries ala button cell or special batteries for ELRO-operation are sau expensive (2+ the piece)!
Well slammed on Amazon at a warehouse Deal. Logitech Harmony One Ultimate.
The whole sounds bold but in reality is the scaled-down S-Class when you want it.
Here you get when you lay normal 140 Takken date (and which is already low) with a remote control charger and USB cable. This remote control can be controlled Bluetooth and WLAN. At the same time it has to succeed the normal Harmony a touchscreen. Opitsch see the equipment the same, but as I said Touch was added. Also, a motion sensor, which is a nice touch. (Display goes on when you take the remote control in hand)
This part then it has now also license a Logitech Harmony Ultimate making. STOP: Where is the word One way ?? .. oh right. We have the C-Class and some smart marketing expert said well at Logitech less designation is for a change more
So a short cut: It can be often compared to the Logitechwebside. This is again optically to one and the same housing. The weight (I had almost the imagination here there are differences) in both remote controls 137 grams. But before I digress quickly set a heading
Harmony Ultimate
In this package which I had to buy expensive willy-nilly (we are talking about approximately 200) obtains a remote control with the same characteristics as described above for the Ultimate One mentioned. Only in addition there is a lift to. (This is described separately) The menu is almost very similar. Here you can simply reboot the hub / drive and can signal strengths etc. Show.
Whoever thinks with tricks of the C-Class now mistaken to make an S-class 100 percent. The same front away. There will always remain. In the software the remote name or Ultimate Ultimate One can be seen. Eben also the points mentioned above, they can not add / unlock.
Now one wonders: why he buys only a Ultimate One and then again almost gleichenun there is simply to say. I wanted to test and try. You will know it but in more detail later
Harmony Hub
For me the most exciting point, because here much PR is operated and all but is the same ;-)
There is an Ultimate Hub and a set of hub which SmartControl called. Furthermore, at the Harmony Ultimate is (ohneOne!) Also a hub included.
So three hubs, all look the same, but there are distinct price ranges in the sets. Here you are allowed but itself once your head effort later why there are people who buy more individually the Hub expensive ;-) (I understand it to this day)
The hub is simple. He can be addressed via WLAN with the app. I use Android and have to say that I have not experienced the app from the beginning. But at this stage I can say that I find it excellent! But you can really adjust everything, everything here. Without any software on the PC. And I mean it has minimal options that are unavailable in the Windows software. What is very surprising for a change.
So the WLAN you need necessarily to the app to use (logo). You can on the establishment but coupled via Bluetooth is what saved my real the A **** (sorry for the expression). My stroke has eaten between all institutions times completely. That means he lit solid red and a reset / set manually via cable to the PC no longer helped. About the app and refurbishment it was then coupled via Bluetooth but again in the green state of the signal light on the hub (here necessarily visibility of the mobile phone in the eighth Bluetooth)
The hub can also PS3 (but think only with optional module) and Xbox control via Bluetooth. I can not test that, because I do not have console. WLAN uses the hub to Phillips Hue or home control from nest to drive. The Hue I ordered, but, thanks to its first delivery in 2 months: P What I have seen but seems to work well.
The basic operation of the stroke is so that the remote control in case of Ultimate (without one!) By radio the hub sends signals and this passed on in IR (infrared). Thus, no visual contact with any equipment is necessary. The hub also has a decent performance. He ballert the IR out so that everything is too late. I for one do not need additional transmitter which contain the Smart Controll Set 1x and 2x in the Ultimate. This could therefore direct the signal around corners. So if you really are a couple appliances behind cupboard doors or serious far has can help here. However, then cables are of course rum additionally.
How now ultimately the hub is called is just a matter of attitude. Right! Whoever integrates only the stroke with the software has a Ultimate Hub Who has all the Smart Control sets up the possibility to control the whole with app and the Harmony® Smart Control add-on remote control. (= Smart Control) Who's Harmony Ultimate anstöpselt the PC is automatically asked for the Hub. Thus obtained the Harmony Ultimate Home Package
Technically everything else would the stroke is thus truly surprised me only in a variant produced by Logitech and may be made by Software Update (which automatically works with respective device) switch
Ultimate Ultimate One
Who now read the part with the hub at the end know what it was. The specifications of the Ultimates are indeed similar. I briefly dwell made from my Ultimate One normal Ultimate. That was so far possible by means. Here also quickly comes out of the great advantage of the Ultimate. (Another reason why I bought later) No direct visual contact more and reach, as the Ultimate One now sends via radio. The possibility remains but one denied when one singly the Ultimate One buys, since the stroke is missing and one with half-way visual contact sends standard IR signal to the device. So either buy more stroke (whatever) or equal to buy the S-Class ;-)
It should be mentioned that both FBs run with integral battery (on the large video platform but there are instructions on how to change the battery. This will cost just under 6)
The FBs are fully charged in 2 hours, and felt empty with Reger use again within 2-3 days. (Since the shop but definitely overnight takes too long, this is not recommended to save battery power) As I said after what felt like two hours you've reached 100% charge.
SmartControl
Here there is the possibility via control via app or Harmony® Smart Control add-on remote control. The Hub is included here (what do you ultimately from the Hub is your thing, see description above with respect to stroke) The remote control runs iG to the Ultimates with button cell.
Marmitek
Some know it. Some say maybe One for All a bit in this context. I did not buy here the known Powermid, since the transmitter and receiver are included. Here is the same as in the angwendet Ultimate. IR> Funk
But I needed only one IR> radio converter / transmitter and no receiver in addition. The pyramid, there are now also buying individually. But I have the battery-powered transmitter into smaller silver Marmitek (cost: 25 including shipping)
Since there are no longer for sale One for All is Marmitek an alternative which is now recognized by the community. This converter operates exactly with 433mhz. Not higher and not lower, but perfect for Funskteckdosen. I own ELRO but InterTechno works on the same basis. Whether outlets, light switches, dimmers that mark Send to 433mhz!
-Merken!
To set up the software to create a new device. (Manufacturer: Marmitek) (Designation: Power). Here necessarily enter power and start the search. He then finds PowerMid or so. This should be the top entry. OK. Thus you have the most common commands in advance already vorprogramiert
The rule is: The Funksteckdosen operate either with self-learning (which is the simplest) or with dip switches. Here there is a list. (ELRO used here InterTechno codes)
DIP switches on the remote control socket (mice piano), 10 or E in principle to off, and then for the following codes:
Note: The codes are for InterTechno YCT-100 Software
1-5: N = ON, F = OFF - / - dipcode listed for 6,7,8 and 9 (= A, B, C and D) in each case the switched-
1-5 = NNNNN
----------------- 1 -------------------------------- -------------- 6,7,8,9
----------------- 3 -------------------------------- -------------- 7,8,9
----------------- 5 -------------------------------- -------------- 6,8,9
----------------- 7 -------------------------------- -------------- 8.9
----------------- 9 -------------------------------- -------------- 6,7,9
----------------- 11 -------------------------------- ------------- 7.9
----------------- 13 -------------------------------- ------------- 6.9
----------------- 15 -------------------------------- ------------- 9
1-5 = NNNNF
---- 2 --------------------------------------------- -6,7,8,9
---- 4 --------------------------------------------- -7,8,9
---- 6 --------------------------------------------- -6,8,9
---- 8 --------------------------------------------- -8.9 pc
---- 10 --------------------------------------------- 6,7,9
---- 12 --------------------------------------------- 7.9 l
---- 14 --------------------------------------------- 6.9
---- 16 --------------------------------------------- 9 b
The pre-assigned by Logitech feature 15On thus switches if you are 1-5 on On and the D key on the example: would push ELRO remote control. (The remote control ELRO course would also be 1-5 to On. But you need theoretically no original remote ELRO etc. if you have an IR> radio converter and Harmony have!
Problems with radio outlets and General
The problem of the Logitech software is that sometimes applying the device Marmitek Powermid it comes to obstacles. (A Creating As One for All 8100C..etc) brings to light the same. All of these devices use the codes from the list. So it does not really matter how you wear a new device, as long as it works with the pre-programmed codes.
However, it is so when you turn off a command to the Marmitek and thus indirectly to the wireless socket to send the front on connected radio-controlled socket. This happens when you define commands for on and off in the action in the Logitech software. You can not adjust clean in this exact case, namely, that he should not quit when you start other actions the action. (Is operating at other devices with IR the fine) This will however remember her when you are allowed to program yourself ;-)
Create either no off function and leave the field empty Remedy: 1. Then you have but two write actions. I had at first. Outlet of an + socket. At 6 Funksteckdosen ye then already 12 actions on the remote control are and are allowed forever to scroll down the screen by touch up here to other functions like.
Remedy 2: I have 6 sockets 6x a Marmitek equipment created (you can rename the device at what distinguish helps) can you say for the device that this is not intended to switch off when changing the actions now. You can then specify that you do turns with two buttons on and off. Here you lay then as the 15on and 15off command arrival.
That is also the difference to Remedy 1 where it adds the command example 15on in the action.
When Varinate Remedy2 her action does not create but merely let the unit on / off. As was stated here in the cessation of the device as it is based on, and you do not need that. Your saves you also actions, since their only an icon image have on your home screen and this now has a double occupancy. (Press such as action television = TV on, 1, television, press again.)
Tip for Marmitek wireless solution
-Funkrollos The brand Velux work with 833MHz so nothing for Marmitek. Hopeless unless you build the recipient of Velux order
-Some canvases with engine working at 433MHz base when the tax code (here helps the forum / community or Logitech support) known are a fine thing
-RGB LED lights (typical China products with remote control)
Search here by Manufacturers Starwire or googling shortly. Your saves you having to teach so each command
-Should Be a can not be switched it is usually too far away. It is not the transmitter Marmitek or even the Harmony guilt. The fact is that the Singal gets lost on the way. Funk is but powerful. I send it through my Maisonettewohung by two floors in the lezte Eck. You have to let send the signal longer here to make do the trick. (If the device settings: see Remedy 2) here has a duration of 0.5 seconds in standard GNP. 3 seconds and whoosh raised the signal comes already on.
What does not help is easy to send via Remedy 1 (see above) several commands Hinte pure vein. Here is a break between the commands will always lie and the short signal packet is lost by the wayside.
Philips Hue Lux + Livig Color ...
Device is easy and is done by pressing the button on the Bridge of Hue system. However, this does not work on PC but only on the Harmony App.
Images I can no longer add additional unfortunately here. I try in Comment attach if it works. You can adjust brightness by super slider and change colors on the Ultimate. Just awesome :-)
Disadvantages / drawbacks
-only 15 devices can be created (which is 6 Funksteckdosen (see Remedy 2) and reached the standard IR devices such as TV quickly.
- Functions, however, are unlimited
-There can be NO SECOND Ultimate registered at a single stroke. (Which has disappointed because a Harmony® Smart Control add-on remote control can be used at any time in parallel with the Ultimate on the same hub
You can like me two Ultimates use a Logitech profile, but does a Ultimate only via infrared !! and does not communicate with the hub. Remedy: use second stroke and FB separately only to this Sign. (Settings can be loaded and transferred from the profile of the first Ultimate = Practical)

Statements Part 2
I doubt so strong that someone has read everything here, but that does not matter. Who uses intensively the Harmony series as I have, however, for better or worse (hours) long grapple with the issue and because it can already help to have heard a few basic requirements. ;-)
For me is to say to the conclusion that I have not done yet set up and my dream is someday to control everything in the apartment. (If it is the microwave ^^)
Good luck & thank you for reading ;-)
