Not As Good As It Should Be,
By On the not-so-good side: the one i bought (less than a year ago) had issues several times so it had to be reset/updated. then a few of the bottuns didn't function as programmed. Finally, it just went dead. when i tried to reset it a " replace battery..." came on. the only thing they didn't say was that you practically have to break the remote to get to the rechargable battery that is glue in place and, no one carries the battery and, if you do find it, it's $45 (nearly 1/2 the price and not guaranteed to work unless it is exactlty the same). i just bought the harmony 550 at 1/2 the price of 880; it has all the same features, takes 4 AAAA batteries, and can be programmed the same way (actually, the website allows you to keep the same settings as the old remote and transfer it to the new one)

I'd miss my Harmonies if they went away,

This review is from: Harmony 880 Advanced Universal Remote (Office Product)
The main feature of Harmony 880 is its ability to set up 'activities' which allow you to seamlessly control all the devices required to do things such as watching TV, listening to music or watching a DVD movie.
The only 'major' issue I've ever had with this remote is the charger - sometimes have to move the remote body a little before the charger became aware of it and began charging but it's no big deal. My unit was bought refurbished but I heard that this was a known problem with at least this Harmony model. I was quite skeptical when I ordered this device - having lived all my life with half a dozen-plus remotes on the coffee table, sofa, under the sofa... where one changes the channels on the satellite receiver, another controls the sound and a third turns on the TV (that's actually how my system works) and then there's the DVD player, the Playstation/Blu-ray player. But, let me talk about the Harmony. You get: - the remote - the charger/stand - a rechargeable battery that goes inside the remote - a power adapter that plugs into the electrical outlet - a USB wire - a setup CD - a very basic 'paper' manual You need: - an Internet-connected computer with an USB port and a CD drive The setup preparation: - you insert the battery into the remote body - you connect the power adapter to the stand - you place the remote on the stand and wait for the battery to charge - you connect the remote to the computer through the USB wire - you insert the CD into the computer's CD drive The initial remote configuration: - you agree to the license terms - you provide some information such as your name and email address - you open an account with Logitech (password is optional) - the setup utility updates the remote with the latest and greatest Setting up devices: You are asked to name the devices that you wish to control with the remote. It's best if you can provide the exact manufacturer, brand and model number. I did that for the first 3 devices I wanted to register and the setup utility was happy with the TV and the satellite receiver but, for some reason it did not recognize my little Bravia home theater. What followed was a series of interactions between the Bravia remote and the Harmony. I was asked to press certain buttons and, after a few minutes, the setup utility was able to recommend a close model. Setting up activities: Once I was done with the devices, the setup utility suggested some standard activities, such as 'watching TV' or 'watching a DVD'. For each activity, I had to answer some very specific questions having to do with the exact settings required for the TV, the Satellite receiver and the home theater device - I had to tell it which device changes the channels, which one controls the sound, which input are used by the TV and so on. Once all desired activities are configured, and up to 8 activities are possible, the computer updates the remote and you are ready to go. Some nice touches: - There is a page where the remote can be customized. You can actually upload a specific image for the background, you can select the way the time is displayed (time is updated from the computer). I even notice the ability to set up a slide show on the remote display. - The display turns itself off after a while (time for it to stay on is configurable) but it lights up as soon as you pick up the remote. - Most buttons that you are likely to need are already on the remote but the display makes up to eight 'soft buttons' available and they change depending of the context of your activities. Overall, I started skeptical but I ended up impressed. I am using a Logitech Harmony 900 now - adds touch screen and came with IR 'blasters' - but I am still using my 880 in the bedroom (I had it configured to also act as the 'main' unit backup in case that stops working). My only regret is that blue-tooth is not supported so my PS3 can't be controlled but, even for the PS3, the remote will be quite useful, properly configuring the TV and the home theater. I recommend this device and, contrary to my initial inclination, it gets 5 stars.

Good While it Lasted,
This review is from: Harmony 880 Advanced Universal Remote (Office Product)
The Warranty expired and so did the remote. It has always been a pain to get the remote to charge properly but I just recently started having problems with the Channel Up and the Vol. Up buttons not working right. After reading the reviews it seems both issues are a commmon problem with this remote. Logitech customer service told me there is no repair service for this remote. I am very disappointed that it did not last longer for the amount of money I paid for it.
