Great Universal Remote to Use With the Harmony Hub
on September 24, 2014
Posted by: fretless
from Las Vegas, NV
Verified Purchase:Yes
We got the Harmony Hub without a remote thinking our old Harmony remote would work with it; it did not. So, we got this remote to control it. It is small, thin, and light, and uses only a small coin-type non-rechargeable battery.
To set it up, we simply went to the Harmony webpage, loaded the program, and ran it. It found our hub and we had little trouble specifying our DVR, DVD, TV, and AV Tuner. Through some simple questions and answers, they were set up to work. Pair the remote to the hub, load the settings and we were in action.
There were some features that we wanted to add from our Cable/DVR remote, so I loaded the iPhone app (to avoid the trip to the computer room across the house) and added the features. Not the easiest to navigate the set-up on the app, and some other features were added later at the computer for ease of use as the screen is easier to see than my phone.
Since we set it up and dialed it in, we've been using for a month or so, and it's nearly flawless. There are a few functions that weren't on the pull-down lists int eh set-up that we've lived without instead of manually programming as that requires plugging the hub into the computer and using the IR sensor to learn the commands. Nothing so important for us to pull our cabinet out and fight our cables to disconnect and reconnect the hub.
In short, we love it.
My Best Buy number: 2870707812
What's great about it: Controls EVERYTHING we have nearly flawlessly
What's not so great: The play controls are a bit high on the remote, Set-up program differs from old system that had our settings
I would recommend this to a friend!

Is this remote back-lit
Does this remote have a back light button to illuminate the buttons in the dark. Does any Harmony remote have this function?
No. The buttons are all solid black rubber/plastic; they do, however, have high contrast colors so they can be made out in low light, but not in the dark. The lack of light is probably a big reason why a single coin-type battery is supposed to last more than a year on these remotes.
