I've been pretty happy with this remote overall. The setup procedure all being done through a computer online was--for me at least--easy and user friendly. Likewise, the method to program individual buttons to do whatever you need them to do, and to program buttons off the functions of the original remote, is user-friendly as well. Additionally, I like the "Watch TV" button being able to be programmed to turn on the TV, receiver and cable box and default the volume buttons to always work the receiver pretty slick. I've used an awful lot of universal remotes over the years and I think I can safely say this is the best one so far for those reasons. If there's anything negative to put in, it would be the lack of available components one can control with this particular model (only 4). While that's worked well for me (Blu Ray player, TV, receiver, cable box) one more component and I'm back to additional remotes. The next model up that allows for more components also brings the price up quite a bit. Having said that, though, after using this remote and becoming familiar with what Logitech can do with their remotes, it becomes a little easier to swallow that price pill knowing what kind of functionality and design one gets. Also (while this might be a complaint for all universal remotes), sometimes being able to recreate the ability to perform certain functions that were available on the original remote can be a little choppy. Again, Logitech's software makes programming individual buttons to do nearly anything does help, but you're often left programming a button to do something that that particular button has nothing to do with (like the blue, yellow, etc. buttons being programmed to open the tray on the BD player, set picture angle, and so forth). But, overall, that's not too big a deal really. Good remote. Most people will be happy with it.Read full review
It is always unfortunate when a company ceases to produce great products. Such is the situation with Logictech. I believe the Harmony One was last produced around 2008. In December 2015 I bought a Harmony Ultimate One to replace an older Logictech contoller where the buttons were starting to fail. I had a Harmony One in another room and was pleased by it but was disappointed that it had been discontinued. So i bought the Ultimate One thinking that it would be an even better product. I was seriously wrong. The Ultimate One was awful and too many problems to list here. I am told that it has been discontinuted as well. I bought the Harmony One for much mored than i wanted to pay and I have been thrilled ever sense. On the box it said 2008. I thought that if it worked then i would need to at least get a new battery. How could a battery be stil good sitting in a box for 8 years. Suffice it to say that it took a charge and is still working very well. This is a great product. Pay what they ask and get it while you still can. Read full review

How many remotes is too many? In our house it was 5. The TV, the stereo, 2 tivo/hd receivers and the dvd player. We had tried several other - read cheaper - remotes over the past few months, all with the same results....horrible. Logitech is expensive to be sure, but the headaches - the multiple units - the batteries are gone. On the plus side. This unit does exactly as advertised. All electronic units are now handled by one slick, rechargeable, internet accessible unit with a cool display. Same size as a normal remote control. Fairly easy to set up. And once some of the minor issues (like having this remote read another remote control) are resolved it is perfect On the down side....it is expensive. I mean almost $200 for a remote?? but... everyone is happy so it is a price worth paying.Read full review
This is my third Harmony One (I'm was a little rough on the previous ones). After the second one stopped working, I was forced to buy a Harmony One Ultimate which is a POS (the discontinued Harmony Onw had outrageous prices when it was first discontinued). After 6 months of using a non-remote remote, I ordered the Harmony One and am so glad I did. It does exactly everything you need with the keys in the positions they were meant to be (as opposed to the POS). The unit came in perfect condition and the extra battery will probably help in the long run. I have been using Harmony remotes since before Logitech purchased them and this is the best one ever made.

The Harmony One is an excellent multipurpose remote which can replace several other remotes. If you follow the instructions it is fairly easy to program, but you need to have access to the back side of all your components. It is not infrared so you do need to have direct line of site. The touch screen is nice and it gives a variety of features without searching all over to turn a component on. The design is well thought out and easy to hold with one hand use for everything. Having the number pad ready for use is great, some others have it in their touch screen but this is much easier to use. This Harmony One was purchased as a direct replacement for one exactly like it which had a damaged screen. Since the previous one was already programed for all our components it was relatively simple to set the new one up ( it took less than 10 minutes to make the change ). The only negative and it's the reason for the 4 stars rating, is that the new control reacts slower to the touch commands than the old control. I don't know why this is, but you must hold the touch button/screen down longer for it to respond. This takes some getting used to after the speed of the previous control. This may be because this replacement was a display model and the original was new and never touched. I'm uncertain if this is the reason, it's just a guess. Over all I am very pleased with the Harmony One control. I understand they do not make this particular model anymore. It was not inexpensive either as new or a display and the new replacements are now infrared, but having had one just like it I knew I had no reason to go with the infrared model, and the programing was simple enough to make the switch. I would buy one again if the need were there and I could find one like I did.Read full review
