Thinking of possibly getting a Logitech remote for the house... Due to the fact that we have about 5 remotes, and its getting really irritating loosing them (the kid likes to hide shit ) and their comptable with PS3's now (with adapter)

Anyways, I was thinking to get either one of the two models listed below....

Harmony One
Or
Harmony 1100

Anyone have experience with these? I am not sure if the 1100 is worth the 399.... but I like the idea of being able to control everything in the house...Lights, AC, ETc... I am lazy

If you have any info on these, please let me know. You can find Harmony 1100's on eBay for about $200 for brand new if you look hard enough.

Also, if you know where to get one of these cheap, please let me know on that too. Thanks!

I don't have either of the ones you're looking at, but I have a cheaper model. I like the remote except for two things:
It slows down the response, and it broke. Now, they replaced it for free within a year, and the replacement is fine. The response with my Tivo is still faster than a standard Cox DVR and remote...just slower than a Tivo remote.

 

You can always go into the settings and adjust the the delays. You can make them just as fast as the regular remotes.

 

I have a Harmony 880. The first one I got had a broken up volume button. Logitech was quick to replace it but now about 18 months later a few of the button require a firm press to activate.

Still it is a fantastic remote and very easy to program.

 

880 FTW. It takes care of all the macro functions, and is simple enough for my 6 you to use and understand without explanantion.
Also the programming on the logitech is dead easy.

 

I'll have to look into that. It seems like it would be at the fastest setting by default, but maybe I can speed it up a bit. Like I said though, it works very well.

 

I have the 880 also and I LOVE it. I have the PS3 adapter as well. It was super easy to program and its simple enough that even visitors to my house can easily navigate all the devices.

 

I have a Harmony One and it runs my entire HT rig. I went from 7 remotes to 1. The projector was a little difficult in the beginning but it all works now. If mine crapped out right now i'd buy another one today.

 

Love my Harmony One.

 

My dad has one. I used it for a little over a year before we moved out.

It's an AMAZING remote. Especially when it's all hooked up properly. After almost 2 years, I think the buttons are starting to get a little tired (i.e. not always responding). But he DID say that it could have to do with the fact that the eye on the DVR receiver sucks balls

If I had more shit hooked up to my TV besides a a cable box, I'd consider one. (he has the TV, receiver, speakers, dvd player, cd player, vhs).
