Harmony 890 Universal Remote Control Reviewed

 

With lots of buttons and a color LCD, the 890 from Harmony can control all functions of up to 15 devices. It can even learn commands from esoteric gear that may not be pre-programmed. An included RF relay lets the 890 control gear in cabinets.

The Harmony 890 offers easy programmability for even complicated systems

Some will find $350 too pricey for a remote ; Lacks some of the cool factor of a touch screen ; Lacks capability to control devices via RS-232 (I'd like an RF to RS-232 add-on device)

The Harmony 890 is the most versatile remote in the Harmony lineup, and worth every penny it costs. The multitude of hard buttons and room for adding extra buttons makes this remote capable of controlling even the most complicated home theater and,...

The Logitech Harmony 890 Universal Remote Control Review

 

Well, I did it. I didn't think I would, at least for a while, but I did it. I bought the big screen LCD TV, I bought the DVD player, I bought the AV receiver and home theater speakers, and I ordered digital cable. It was a sad day for my wallet, but a...

Great remote

I've had this remote for well over a year now and still love it. The only negative comments would be these: - The software to program the remote is slow and poorly designed. I could easily live with one or the other, but together, it makes...

good but still has kinks

i think this remote is good but overpriced for what you get. The RF functionality is great.. but i have used it for 6 months and the volume buttons are broken. The build quality of the buttons feel somewhat weak.. and it showed that the volume does not...

The best remote on the market (if you need it's functionality)

This is a great product....if you know what you are trying to accomplish. If you wish to control equipment in one room and do not require any of the wireless functions, then the Harmony ONE is a much better choice (great ergonomics, beautiful touch...

Buy the 890 not the 890 Pro

 

Buy the 890 not the 890 Pro

The 890 Pro is set up for professional installers setting up a number of systems in the same area (maybe in a store or showroom). For a home installation, the 890 is the better bet. My system has a projector, a DirecTV DVR, a BluRay player, a sound...

Best remote ever

 

Best remote ever

This remote does it all, it even worked my air conditioner in guest room. It has the RF function and with the RF extender this remote will work across the street once it is paired to it. The programing is a little intense but once you have your...
