Hey what's up guys!
Welcome to another episode of Pan The Organizer, where you and I work together to help you
organize different aspects of your life!
Are you tired of all the clutter that you have around your house created by the remote
controls of all the electronic devices that you have?
Well I got the solution just for you!
Today I'll be reviewing the brand new Harmony Elite universal remote control!
So here it is.
This remote control is super ergonomic, it's very lightweight, falls well into your hands
and is super simple to use.
Honestly, I was amazed.
I had a previous Logitech Harmony remote.
It was the Harmony One model from a couple of years back.
Setup took quite a bit of time online because you had to do it onto your computer.
Now this one, you install the app on your cell phone and honestly, in a matter of four
to five minutes, I was good to go!
Now I'll be honest, it's a bit pricey depending on where you live, between 300$ to 400$, but
it's worth every penny.
In my case, it replaced 12 remotes!
That's absolutely insane!
Now what's new with this Elite model, is it can also control your smart devices such as
home lighting from Philips Hue, or other brands, and it also has haptic feedback.
When you press a key, you're going to get this little vibration that happens to let
you know that you hit the right button.
Now if you guys want to pick up one of these remotes, I'll leave the most up to date prices
in the description down below and I'll drop some alternatives, some less expensive ones
as well, but still from Logitech because that's the brand I trust when it comes to universal
remotes.
This remote comes with a charging cradle that's super compact and very aesthetic as well as
a main hub.
So it's the main control unit for your hole house.
It works through three different ways: so IR for infrared, Bluetooth, and RF for radio
frequency.
So technically, your remote doesn't even have to point towards your electronics to open
them.
The radio frequencies alone will help ignite all your items and power them on!
So my previous universal remote before the Harmony Elite was the Logitech Harmony One.
So if we compare them side by side, the new Elite is a bit smaller and lighter.
And the main difference from the old Harmony One, is that this one, the old one, was strictly
infrared.
So your remote had to be pointed directly to your electronics to power them on or off.
So the basis behind the Logitech Harmony remotes is that it creates activities for you to start
up.
For example, if you have a TV, a soundbar, you might have a Blu-Ray player, a DVD player...
So basically what this does is that it groups all your electronics into activities.
So when you hit the Watch TV icon on your remote, everything gets automated.
So basically, your TV will turn on, set itself to the right input, your cable box from your
cable provider will power on, and your soundbar if you have one, will also turn on.
And then you control everything from here.
To change your channels, volume up and down, access to your PVR recordings, your guide
setup, play pause, forward, back...
Everything that you have on your remotes can be replaced by a single one!
Depending on your usage, battery life is pretty good.
It will last you a couple of weeks if you use your TV from time to time.
And even on heavy use, you can easily do 4 to 5 days without having to put it into its
recharging cradle.
So trust me guys, honestly this is an awesome purchase.
You won't regret it.
And it will last you for years.
My previous Logitech Harmony One remote, I kept since probably 2009.
So that's almost 7 years now.
It still runs like a charm.
So that's another way you can organize a bit of the clutter in your house.
