LogitechHarmony 650 Universal Remote Control

Was easy to set up and can do alot of thing you can customise to your hearts desire.

Este producto de verdad que es una herramienta que te ayuda a deshacerte de la mayoría de tus demás controles, es muy fácil de configurar, lo compré como regalo para mi papá que en la sala de televisión tenía que estar lidiando con 4 controles (televisión, codificador de cable, receptor A/V y apple tv) y el problema cuando uno se iba entre los colchones y ponerse a buscar, y ver cual era para cada cosa ya que el sonido se controla con el receptor amplificador, la tele se prende con su propio control, el control de cable para cambiar canales y el apple tv que a cada rato se extraviaba, con este nuevo control se puede configurar para que manejes todos esos aparatos y muchos más, tiene botones específicos para realizar acciones exactas, por ejemplo si quieres ver una película te enciende el amplificador, te cambia la televisión al HDMI que necesitas, te prende el apple tv y apaga los demás aparatos que no vayas a utilizar por ejemplo un reproductor de blu-ray o demás, viene con una pantalla a color de aproximadamente 1 pulgada y se alimenta con 2 baterías AAA que vienen incluidas, lo único que no he encontrado la forma es para configurar la caja de cable más aunque las de sky y dish me parece si se puede, y a mi parecer pasar de 4 controles a solo 2 es bastante ayuda, en la página de logitech harmony se puede revisar por la marca y el modelo todos los aparatos que soporta el control, de verdad que estoy muy feliz con el control y más por poder hacerle un poco más sencilla la vida a una persona que se lo merece como mi papá. Si controlara igual el aire acondicionado sería el control perfecto, pero sin duda totalmente recomendado si tienes más de 3 controles con que vivir tu día a día.

This has quickly proven to be a great universal remote! The software programming is great. It arrives with no instructions and I will say they are not needed. I was able to master it in no time. Oh a bit of confusion at first but quickly solved. Perhaps if you need to control many more devices a more powerful model may be needed but I would guess you may be paying for things you don't need. I recommend it!!!!Update August 24/2015Since using the remote since August 8th I have discovered it suffers from some very, very annoying bad habits. It will always confuse programmed device inputs. As an example, if I select "Watch TV" it will turn on, select the correct devices and inputs. If I turn all off via the "All off" command and then select "Watch a Movie" It will turn on all devices correctly but select the HDMI input for the TV, not for the Blue Ray DVD player. If I correct this and then turn off this function via the "All Off" command and then reselect "Watch TV" it will then select the HDMI input for the DVD player, not the one for the Samsung set top box! Now you can use the "Help" command right! Well, when I do this to correct this issue it changes the audio input on the receiver from "Aux" to F-Aux which is a front panel Aux input on this receiver which of course is wrong! I have reprogrammed it 4 times trying different device sequencing with no change. I have carefully reviewed all sections and they are correct. It is rather easy to program the required device/input selections but and when you try to "Sync" the device it will take 2 - 3 try's as there seems to be some software conflict between the remote and the provided Harmony programming software. This replaced a $20.00 six years old remote that was beginning to fail which never ever had this state of confusion! I have tried to call them but after a long, lonely wait gave up! I had E-mailed for technical assistance but if I do not hear back soon will return it as defective. 5 stars to one star! I write very few negative reviews! I will keep you informed.Update 09/09/2015I have been working with Logitech customer service since the last update. My contact has been a person by the name of Paul. I must say that he has been working hard to resolve this issue via about a dozen or more emails. To date, I am sorry to say the issue is yet to be resolved. The HDMI input selection remains to be an issue in that if the watch TV selection is shut down via power off the next time the Watch a Movie selection is made the TV HDMI input is incorrectly selected and visa a versa. I will nevertheless say that my contact, Paul, has been trying hard and has been quickly communicating with me on a daily basis via email. My compliments to Paul!Update 09/23/15I have continued to work with Paul at Logitech all this time and after many emails, a video, and even a photo of the OEM remote we have reached success as of this day. I was at one point ready to throw in the towel but chose to hang in with Paul. I came to view the issue as a real challenge and resolved to provide as much feedback as I could. I also have come to the conclusion that this older Dynex TV (Best Buy private label) may have been a significant contributor to the entire problem. The OEM remotes command sequence appears to have been the source and Paul, the Logitech rep had to find an atypical workaround. I am changing my rating to 5 stars to recognize Paul, the Logitech customer service rep for his dedicated effort in bringing this to a successful conclusion. Do understand that Logitech must find the thousands of command sequences for thousands of various products both new and old. I would guess this becomes an even greater issue when dealing with private label devices like my now ancient Dynex Best Buy private label TV. Hats off to Paul!!!Up Date 10/22/15Well, so far the remote seems to be working OK. However, if you accidentally select an incorrect function the remote may become stupid until you turn all devices off by selecting each device independently of the master off key. I have also observed that you need to have a large selection of new batteries. I have thus far had to replace the batteries 3 times. In my view, this is excessive even after reducing the screen turn off time to the fastest. I have found that if the battery drops to 1.37 volts vs. 1.5 at least when they are new the remote will sporadically shut down and reboot. When this occurs it will then select incorrect inputs on various devices. To correct this you may need to sync the remote again as you did the first time. While the remote works in a fashion it has continued to be less than perfect. This remote replaced one I purchased through Amazon several years ago for $20.00! That remote always performed very well but was failing after so long in use. If you have a basic system like I do I would suggest another more simplistic remote that may not cover every function but will at least turn your equipment off / on and select the correct inputs consistently. By the way, this much more expensive remote does not provide access to all the functions the original equipment remote provided by the device manufacturer.Up Date 05/30/2016Well, I just reprogrammed the remote again adding a Kinivo 3 device HDMI switch and all is working extremely well. Adding the Kinivo HDMI switch solved many problems and as of now the remote handles multiple source selections, HDMI input selections, and the Kinivo HDMI switch selections with ease and without fail! A real pleasure and a powerful remote. I intend to upgrade to the five device Kinivo HDMI switch and be able to handle a total of 7 source devices with ease!

I don't have words to describe the amazing utility of this remote.If you have several Audio video peripherals like TV , Blu-ray player,Av amp,game console etc ,then this remote makes using all of them a breeze.I like its activities function a lot.For example by simply pressing movies button,everything needed to watch a movie like TV ,Av amp,bluray player get switched on and all the relevant HDMI inputs also get selected. you can program every button according to your choice.It remembers all the favorite channels on Tatasky.It does so many other things.I love this remote.I don't know how I survived all these years without this.Highly recommend.It is worth every rupee we pay Surprisingly I am able to control some features of amazon firestick attached to my sony tv

This can be a litttle complicate to use, multiple button presses, but it works very well. It gets used most often when we can't find a remote or for the one remote that sometimes won't work. Doesn't setup easily with some Japanese devices, you have to setup each function for uncommon devices, but mainstream devices set up super easy.

Tuve un modelo 300 como 10 años hasta que el botón de encendido ya no servia, son de buena calidad y este se ve de la misma calidad.Este te permite generar secuencias de comandos entre muchos dispositivos y poner pausas por lo que pude configurar secuencias para prender TV con amplificador con Apple TV e iniciar netflix. Se configura esto en un software en la computadora.TIP, algunos comandos por alguna razón no te deja agregarlos a secuencias de comandos pero ahí lo qué haces es que tomas el control remoto original del dispositivo y lo apuntas al Harmony para que aprenda el comando y los comandos que aprende el Harmony si te deja meterlos en secuencias entonces si no te aparece la opción que quieres al armar una secuencia pues grabas el comando.No es el software más amigable del mundo para configurar pero pues ya que te queda funcionando ya no lo necesitas.Contento con la compra.
