The Z-Wave (RF) Technology of this device also enables remote control of Z-Wave compatible lighting, climate, and security systems without direct line-of-sight.īefore using the remote for the first time, it has to be programmed. This device allows the control of audio and video components that are hidden inside cabinets or placed in other rooms, up to 100 feet away. In addition to the remote, Logitech provided me with a Harmony RF Wireless Extender, which is available separately for $169.

The Harmony 1000 package also contains an AC adaptor for the cradle, a Logitech software CD and a mini-USB to regular-USB cable. The Harmony features a motion sensor, which turns on the screen when the remote is picked up.Ī supplied glossy black cradle doubles as a stand and charging station for the remote’s lithium ion battery. The edges of the remote are pleasantly rounded, which together with the plastic/rubbery underbody make the remote comfortable to hold. These buttons/pad are used for changing channels, adjusting the volume and navigating through on-screen device menus. The right side of the remote contains a handful of silver buttons as well as a multi-directional pad. The remote features a bright 3.5-inch colour touch screen (with a resolution of 320×240 pixels) and stunning brushed-aluminium finish. Visually, the Harmony 1000 is a Swedish biking model of remotes. The Harmony 1000 uses Logitech’s constantly evolving web-based software to program the remote, which should be simple enough to use for just about anyone. At $599, the remote isn’t cheap but this price tag is notably lower than other tablet remotes. But this is not the case with the Harmony 1000. Tablet remotes are typically found in high-end home theatres because they tend to be expensive and require a custom installer to program them.
The Logitech Harmony 1000 is the latest addition to the Harmony remote line-up and the first tablet-style remote from the company.
I personally use two Harmony remotes in my house and couldn’t be happier. Logitech Harmony remotes are some of the best known universal remotes available today for a couple of good reasons, they are incredibly easy to program and affordable. That’s because a universal remote can eliminate the clutter of multiple remotes and significantly simplify the operation of a home theatre. You could say that a universal remote control is a home theatre’s best friend. Admin T20:24:56+00:00 February 10th, 2011 | Reviews, Universal Remotes | 31 Comments
