For additional activities beyond those six, you'll need to resort to the app for control (or get the Harmony Elite, which moves activity selection to its touchscreen). Yes, you can long-press each of the keys to access a second activity, but that can be confusing especially for people unfamiliar with your setup. That doesn't seem like enough to me when device itself supports a "virtually unlimited" number of activities, according to Logitech. There are still only three dedicated activity buttons, represented by musical notes, a TV and a strip of film. The review has not otherwise been modified. This review has been updated to reflect that change, and to mention the new Harmony Elite. Nothing else comes close to its level of home theater control, ease of use and value.Įditors' Note : Logitech has changed the name of this product from the Harmony Home Control to the Harmony Companion. But once you get everything set up - a lengthy chore but easier than you may think - the Companion works beautifully. Such a complex system does have its rough edges still, and despite its lofty aspirations the app for control is a poor substitute for the physical remote. Harmony's system just works, seamlessly tying together just about any device with a single remote a child can use. But she doesn't know or care about any of that she just presses a single button and Netflix appears on the screen. Doing so involves turning on the TV and AV receiver, switching them to the correct inputs, and selecting the Netflix app on Roku. With it my 5-year-old daughter can easily "turn on Neh-falix"and watch "Pound Puppies" without me having to get out of bed (I'm a bad parent, sue me). I've been living with the original Smart Control for a year and it's amazing.
