Logitech Harmony 900 Universal Remote Control (optional)

Customer Review

I have bought the Harmony 900, because I thereby hoped me to replace a total of 8 remote controls. This is also well done overall, the original remotes are with me now in a drawer.

Overall, I find the remote control well finished to very good, it is rubberized on the bottom and fits comfortably in your hand. The touch screen responds instantly and the hardware keys have a pleasant pressure point.

You programmed an action and have the desired device turn on. In addition, the remote control remembers when a device is turned on and you select another action, for example, you look at the satellite receiver TV and would like to watch a Blu-ray on the PS3, you select on the touch screen, for example, an action that is "TV / Blu-ray" is called, has the PS3 is turned off the satellite receiver, the TV stays on, however, and selects the appropriate HDMI input.

Among the criticisms heard that the software is a bit strange and sometimes unresponsive, but rarely occurs.

After the update, the remote control occur relatively often that it no longer starts, then you have to take out the battery and reinsetzen again.

Unfortunately, the battery is quickly empty, the rather high-quality charger has an LED, which unfortunately remains lit, even if the remote control is not in it.

But really annoying is the configuration to switch to an HDMI Eingan from the TV.
I own a TV with integrated satellite receiver, an AV receiver, a PS3 and a few other devices that are connected to the AV receiver via HDMI, which is then in turn connected to the TV. When I select the action for the PS3 to switch the PS3 one, the AV receiver will switch to the desired HDMI input and the TV on so far so good, also to the desired HDMI input to. So far so good, it works well with all HDMI devices well. But as soon as I want to watch TV only to the TV and no other devices are to be switched on, the television still switches to the input menu and select an HDMI input of which is insbesonder then annoying when I turn on the TV from the standby mode , You can configure it so that concerns the television on the last selected channel or input, but once you get the action in the "TV" set where you actually think that this only applies to this action with some trickery, is in the other actions not switched to the desired input. The general input configuration is therefore generally carried out for the device.
With a bit of trickery I have the problem solved then, but the point of it is certainly not, as it has now been set, but it works as desired.

Despite the criticisms, I am glad to have me buy this remote control and can absolutely recommend. After only one week I do not want to constantly choose to turn on the device for certain actions, such as TV turn on, input menu, confirm AV receiver switch, select HDMI input, switch on PS3, constantly change the remotes. Such actions go with just one click on the touch screen. I also no longer have to use a different remote if I eg on the AV receiver wants to regulate the volume.
