![]() I didn’t find the smaller font size too unbearable, but those who are older may think otherwise. On my previous Harmony remote, the pearl white was sometimes mistaken as a home phone, rather than a remote.īeginning with the face of the remote, the unit received a face lift with the touchscreen relocating to the top of the remote, and the media playback keys below that.Įach button is individually backlit which allows for nighttime usage, but their smaller character font size makes it a little harder to read if you have reduced vision. Using a glossy finish on the front with a rubber chin and back, the Elite remote blends into its surroundings without becoming an eyesore. This time around I received a black Elite remote and I must immediately say, it’s vastly superior in design. If you took the time to read over my Harmony Ultimate Home review, right away in the design section you would have noticed that I preferred the white color and said that I would have chosen the white over the black. A special thank you to Logitech for providing this unit. Throughout this review, I will be discussing the following topics: the design, functionality, and my final thoughts. Welcome to my review of the Logitech Harmony Elite remote. Bringing a new design, new layout, and some new features, this remote needs to exceed expectations and it might just do that. The remotes themselves contain most of the buttons you need and additional commands and buttons are found on the touch screen.Ī year later and Logitech has once again revamped their flagship remote and it is now dubbed the Harmony Elite. They have the ability to use Wireless, Bluetooth, and even IR to send commands to your devices. In short, Logitech Harmony remotes are universal remotes that can connect to multiple devices all at once. My conclusion of the Logitech Harmony Ultimate Home ended with a five star rating and I still use it to this very day, my living room and office wouldn’t be the same without it. ![]() They are extremely helpful and handy, but they don’t seem to have much popularity around them. These Harmony remotes have been around for quite a while. Just about a year ago, I took a look at Logitech’s new and heavily improved smart remote. A smartphone can definitely connect to all of your products, but not as easily and is somewhat time consuming. Nearly all phones now come with IR blasters which are pretty handy for changing TV channels, but when you want to change the thermostat temperature you need to open a new app, and the same goes for adjusting the lights, or increasing the volume on a Bluetooth speaker. The first thing that may come to mind is your smartphone. To solve this problem, we need a device that communicates to hundreds of products. The Xbox allows you to wave your hand in front of your Kinect for motion control, yet can be somewhat difficult as I have found. Some products, like the Amazon Fire TV, have created voice commands, but that only gets you so far. ![]() ![]() It doesn’t even stop there, your in-home lighting can be remotely controlled or colors changed, your TV wirelessly connects to your sound bar, and what’s great about all of this is that it is all designed for ease of use and convenience.Įven though many products are “smart” they still need a little assistance when communicating with YOU, the user. Smart thermostats can be controlled while you are at work, smart TVs have endless amounts of on demand content, even electrical sockets have built in wireless nowadays so that you can turn off items that have yet to become a “smart” device. We have become so connected and dependent on our technology that life would be difficult without them. ![]()
