Logitech Harmony 650 Remote Control - Silver (915-000159) (Renewed)

The 650 remote arrived in what appeared to be a factory sealed package. Inside were the remote, cable, instructions and two batteries. The batteries in the package were old and corroded, to I tossed them and installed two new batteries. The remote started so I plugged it into my laptop and installed my previous Harmony setup from an older remote that is finally failing. Everything transferred to the new remote perfectly. This doesn't seem like a refurbished remote, rather it seems to be a product that never sold and was sitting on a shelf for an extended period. Since it seems Logitech / Harmony no longer make these remotes and I was extremely happy with my older Harmony remote, this was the perfect replacement. The only issue was the old batteries and I'm not removing any stars for that. This remote is new and works perfectly.

I've been using Harmony remotes for quite some time. For my needs, this one is the best. I can program it to work for any device I have that uses an RF remote (some newer devices don't use RF, so consider that). Their app makes it easy to configure the remote for multiple activities and combinations of devices, like DVR + TV + Stereo, DVD + TV + Stereo, Stereo only, etc. I love that you can program any button to do anything. You can even "macro" a button to do a bunch of commands. For example, my new "smart" TV doesn't have a sleep command. It's buried in the menus. To set a sleep timer to 1 hour, I had to press menu, press up twice (or down 6 times, so no thanks...), enter, down 2 times, enter, and then exit, exit, exit to get out of the TV's menu. I was able to assign all of that to a single "+1 hr sleep" button I made. I could even add a tiny big of lag, after pressing the menu, since sometimes the TV would take too long to open the menu, and then the TV wouldn't get the right number of "up" presses, and would adjust brightness instead of sleep. One request I put on every harmony review is that they teach the activities to know when devices have "power on" and not just power toggle, and to use the power on command when starting an "activity". Instead, the remote tries to remember what's on, and only sends a power toggle command when it thinks that device isn't already on. If you turn the device off manually, have a power outage, or use a sleep timer, it doesn't turn the device on correctly. There's an easy workaround: press the "all off" button on the remote and then things will work normal. But it also seems like an easy fix, since their software already knows which devices have power toggle, on, and/or off commands available. Anyway, unless you have devices that need a universal remote than handles non-RF communications, or you want one of those fat-screen home automation "tablet" remotes, this is the best universal remote I've owned, and it has a great price. I have 3 in my house, and would buy this model over a lot of other, more expensive models even if price weren't the factor.

A couple of keys on my old Rosewill remote were not working any more on my HTPC so it was time to get a new one. Been eyeing Harmony for a while and after reading reviews about problems with the remotes that didn't use buttons, decided on this one. Good price, all the functionality I want and need (WMC). Took a couple of hours to program correctly but after much reading on the net found the answer. Caveat: I use OTA antennae with HDHomerun and WMC7; also stream using Playon and use Kodi as well. Here is how I setup my TV, receiver, and HTPC: Download the programming software from myharmony and create a login, then connect the remote to your computer with included usb cable. I added a TV - Sharp LC-46D64 and Receiver - Bose 1-2-3 Series III and they were recognized fine. For HTPC - have to input Manf: Microsoft and Model: Windows Media Center SE. Next set up activity to Watch TV: TV to control video (attached by HDMI) Receiver to control volume (attached with optical) Media Center to control channel changes Your preference for Media Center input (desktop and MCE startpage both work fine) Used CBL/SAT as input for my receiver You can add other items to this activity but I just wanted it to work with the basics for now so I was done. It synced to the remote and removed the usb cable when prompted. I went through the setup on the remote screen and clicked the help button as prompted when something didn't work right and it fixed it. Smart remote!!! Thank goodness!!! I turn my receiver on and off with the device controls on the screen as I leave my HTPC on 24/7. Just got it Friday evening, set it up yesterday afternoon and was set up and using same night for Halloween Horror movie night with my family - worked great. Ordered the Flirc USB receiver with the harmony remote but couldn't get it to work - there were a lot of examples where people did make it work but I need it to be an easy MCE remote (seems like there was a missing step or two that wasn't apparent to me, that's why I wrote this step by step); couldn't find good instructions on easy use set up for WMC (which my Mom uses so is the priority). Used my old Rosewill usb receiver and BAM!; worked great with no lag even 10+ ft away. I'll add custom button, etc. later but for now am very happy. Thank you to all who write instructions, my family thinks I'm techy but I'm just persistent.

ürünü daha önce kullandım. media player, ip TV, TV, ses sistemi vs cihazlarınız varsa hepsini tek kumandadan yönetmek için mükemmel. . eskisini kaybettim. Yeni tv mp, iptv, uydunreciever özelliklerini barındırıyor kendi kumandasıyla hepsini idare edebiliyorum. Sadece ses sistemim için aldım. ÜRÜN 5 YILDIZLIK ancak, ürün sayfasında hiçbiryerde ürünün refurbished olduğu belirtilmemiş. ben şahsen refurbished ürün almam ve kendimi kandırılmış hissediyorum. türkiyede olsa iade ederdim ancak satıcı amerikada uğraşmak istemiyorum. Bunun dışında satıcı ilgiliydi. Soruma hızlı cevap verdi.

Great product, and particularly so at this price. Really nicely made, good action, feels good and works well. And other than pnain box indistinguishable from a new one.

The Logitech Harmony 650 is the best remote I ever used. It’s much better than my Logitech Harmony 1100, which has a fancy touchscreen. Can use this with one hand just using your thumb to run your entire entertainment system. The programming is flexible and easy. Works great!!

Support all devices and it is easy to set up!This is the second one I buy and I am totally satisfied!
