Now for the first impression of the Harmony 650. look and feel a positive mood. The surface of the FB is in anthracite color with a dark gray keypad. The display lights up when movement of the FB on a discreet blue background. The writing on the display is clearly visible.
The focus of the FB is necessarily in the range of the battery compartment. Because of this, however, is in the lowest part, the Harmony is really very good in the hand. Overall, the remote control makes a high impression and seems in this respect to the Harmony 555 to tie.
The technical aspect.
As usual, the Harmony 555 also this FB is programmed via the Logitech own software online. The downloading of data records for the appropriate device programming I find quite comfortable. Who can live with Logitech with a required registration and related data transmission is to make friends quickly with the principle of programming. Since I already have an account with Logitech, it was really very easy, the FB to reprogram. In the input screen of the software you have the possibility to specify a different FB. If you have done this, the previous data is simply copied / converted on the new FB. A more than useful backup feature.
The further programming designed easily. Of course, it requires a certain amount of time if you want to make the key assignment individually. But I have the certainty that the time-consuming inputting commands in this remote control is 99%. In addition, can be configured via software are various other things such. As the light duration of the display. Ultimately it is relatively independent in the design of its programming and its Harmony 650 can make just as you would want. Another positive aspect are the so-called. Activities. They allow you to program a complete process / command sequence to a single key.
But what Logitech has really thinking, now limit the number of programmable devices to a maximum of 5 pieces? In the Harmony 555, it was possible to integrate devices up to 15 (!). This is an obvious weak point, meaning very clear to me a star deduction.
Who else is looking for a high-quality remote control with its innovative programming, which can buy this product without hesitation.
