4.0 out of 5 stars Very good indeed, if less flexible than a Pronto, 27 Nov 2007
By mark0000 "mark0000" (Derbyshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Logitech Harmony 1000 - Touch Screen Universal Remote Control (Electronics)
Like other reviewers, I have come to the Harmony via Philips Pronto, Pronto NEO, and various one-for-all products. So far, nothing has quite 'hit the mark' and I must confess, having read the logitech forums I was very worried about placing an order.

I needn't have worried. The product works well and looks great. It ships with a CD that only contains XP, Mac and W2000 drivers, though, so I went to logitech and downloaded their new Vista-compatible software. I ran that first, and then connected to the unit, having first charged it and noted down the product details of all my kit.

The software downloads firmware updates automatically and reboots the unit - all worked fine. The forums say that certain firewalls have difficulty, but using IE7 on a vista laptop with Norton 360 worked just fine for me. Once the unit reboots, you identify the kit and the logitech servers try to configure the Harmony 1000 for you. You need a very stable internet connection, here, as you have to be connected all the time (or it starts again). It's really important that you arrange this - I'd hate to try setup on a flaky or dial-up connection.

The configuration program does seem (or did to me) to be likely to get it wrong, and some of your gear might be hard to find, but just when you start thinking 'this isn't going to work', it gives you the option to 'learn' a button or two. From that it narrows down the exact product in its database (even if you had mis-named it), and suddenly everything is complete.

You might need to get used to 'activity-based' remotes (I want to watch a DVD, for example, would turn on your TV (or your projector), turn on your DVD player, turn on your receiver (if you listen through that - you can choose at setup time) and adjust the volume). Because the unit remembers the on/off state of all your kit, it only switches on if it needs to - very impressive.

The unit is tilt-sensitive to wake it up, is made of quality brushed aluminium and the touch-screen is very sensitive and easily visible (both real complaints I had with my old Pronto). You can't, unfortunately, customise buttons (but you can name favourite channels with logos). Also, there's still no clock (unlike in the photos).

Overall, it's a great product. Just give yourself a good half-hour to set it up, and get the product codes for your hifi kit first, and download the software from logitech, rather than using the out-of-date CD supplied. You'll need a good stable internet connection and a forgiving firewall (as I said, Norton was fine).

If you can give it the setup time - go for it!

The Logitech Harmony 1100 is now out (at a much increased price). It's flash-based, rather than Java based, and has the clock that is missing here, but the price hike is so huge that it goes into Pronto- and custom-installer territory. For now, at least, I'd stick with the 1000.

3.0 out of 5 stars not bad, but you should probably go for the Harmony One instead, 4 Mar 2008
By William Moffatt - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Logitech Harmony 1000 - Touch Screen Universal Remote Control (Electronics)
I bought this recently, and was quite pleased with it - setup was trivial, taking about 30 mins or so - most of that downloading and updating the software and figuring out the model numbers of my various pieces of hardware. I had 4 remotes to mimic, and two basic operations (watch DVDs, play music), and having the remote control them was very simple.

Where the remote falls down is the reliance on the touchscreen and the general shape; if you want to fast forward through a movie, for example, you need to hold the remote in one hand, find the right key on the screen with your other hand, and then keep casting your eyes back and forth from the remote to the TV to make sure that your finger is still on the right button and that you still want to forward through the movie - this would be less of a problem with a narrower device where you could hold it and operate it with one hand. The lack of positive feedback is a huge negative (that I didn't really think about before trying the harmony 1000).

If you tend to start watching a dvd (or playing music or whatever) and then don't touch the remote till you're done, the harmony 1000 will be great; if, like me, you like to fast forward/rewind etc. all the time, then you will probably quickly become frustrated.

Additionally, because the touch screen contains most of the functions (far more use could have been made of the button pannel to the right of the screen, IMO), and the buttons have to be quite large, you also have the problem of having to switch through a large number of screens to access different types of operations - the playback controls on one page, number buttons on another, general functions on another (or rather more likely 6 other pages); I'm sure that with time and patience you could arrange the buttons in a better way, but I had neither.

In the end I gave the Harmony 1000 to a friend and replaced it with a Harmony One; a more recent and much more user friendly device - cheaper too.

The Harmony 1000 looks great, and does pretty much what you expect of it, but before buying, consider how you use your remotes; if you fiddle a lot, then get one with real buttons.

Oh the customer service is fantastic; answered the call after a couple of rings, went straight to the help, and the rep answered my questions and fixed my problems immediately. Great service.

4.0 out of 5 stars Does NOT support Z-Wave, 17 Jan 2008
By Daniel Probert (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Logitech Harmony 1000 - Touch Screen Universal Remote Control (Electronics)
If you just want to control IR devices, then this is a great product
(although the Harmony software requires you to be connected to the Internet, and you can't search the product database to see if your product is supported before you add it - even if your product is in the database, it might not be supported).

However, I bought it because both this Amazon product page and the Logitech website indicate that it has Z-Wave Wireless support.
However, this is for the optional RF-Extender only.
You *cannot* use the Harmony 1000 to control Z-Wave Lighting Modules and Z-Wave Home Automation Modules.

Apparently this was planned for the device (and was in the original product blurb) but Logitech pulled it at the last moment (frustratingly, the ability to control Z-Wave devices is still in the hardware, but disabled in firmware).

So if you want to control Z-Wave Lighting and Z-Wave Wireless devices (e.g. control lighting, and turn off power sockets), you'll want to get the Harmony 895.

Here's hoping Amazon will take back my Harmony 1000...

Side Note: Amazon, can you please update the Manufacturer's Description above and remove the line about this remote having Z-Wave support?
