CNET editors' review
Logitech Harmony 1100 price range: $299.99 - $378.90
- Reviewed by: David Carnoy
- Edited by: John Falcone
- Reviewed on: 02/19/2009
The good: Tablet-style, touch-screen, universal remote that controls 15 devices; controls components via infrared or RF (for an extra charge); includes rechargeable battery and docking station; Web-programmable and compatible with Windows and Macintosh PCs via simple, straightforward software wizard; less expensive than competing tablet models; faster response time and improved operation versus Harmony 1000.
The bad: Pricey, especially considering that the RF module costs extra; screen drains battery quickly when it's not left in the charging stand; no easy way to use in more than one room; lacks the design and programming flexibility (you can't design your own buttons, custom screen layouts, or program multi-device macros) that many high-end remotes offer; setting up systems with more than five or six components can get pretty tricky.
The bottom line: The Logitech Harmony 1100 is an excellent touch-screen universal remote that corrects most of the shortcomings and frustrations of its predecessor, but its high price will relegate it to high-end home theaters only.

Awesome - Especially for the novice user
by Jhopkins81 on March 21, 2009
Pros: Very intuitive online interface. Even if you do not get thru the initial setup with the pre-defined options set correctly there is easy ways to change the setup.
Cons: Must buy $15 Nyko USB / Infrared remote to help control Sony Playstation 3 functions but even then you have to power on / off the Playstation manually.
Summary: This online setup of the remote gives you endless combinations of ways to setup your system by turning on only the devices you need for certain functions and turning those ...
Summary: This online setup of the remote gives you endless combinations of ways to setup your system by turning on only the devices you need for certain functions and turning those devices to the proper function. (i.e. putting the tuner on tuner, cable/Sat, CD or other functions. I have a multiple zone AV receiver with an extra receiver to power out door speakers. So I can be watching TV on my main zone receiver while also having the main receiver zone 2 set on tuner on which is linked to my extra receiver set to AUX input to power the outdoor speakers that can be playing a different souce such as the radio. All this can be done with the touch of a single button on the remote. So far I have not found a limitation to setup the Harmony 1100 screen buttons and can be customized to work any button found on any remote controls you have in your possession. The handy motion sensor auto lights up the remote for the custom amount of time that you set from 10 seconds to over 1 minute during inactivity. Full screen color with multiple screen levels allows for variable activities within each activity. For instance you can setup 24 favorite channels for the watch TV function by setting up 6 icons on 4 separate screens. You can get icon pictures from this website. http://www.lyngsat-logo.com/

Fully Functional '1000' with some new tweaks
by Wannabe Actuary on February 24, 2009
Pros: Works like a charm, can handle up to 3 wireless extenders
Cons: removed sequences (i.e. macros - don't worry, activities are alive and well), must be programmed from scratch
Summary: Bottom line, I don't think this author knows harmony remotes as well as he should in order to be reviewing them.
Two corrections to this review from a beta ...Summary: Bottom line, I don't think this author knows harmony remotes as well as he should in order to be reviewing them.
Two corrections to this review from a beta tester that's been using this for 3-4 months.
1. There is no motion sensor, it's a tilt sensor. Some harmony remotes have a tilt sensor that detects when you pick up the remote (like the 1100), while there are a few harmony remotes that have a motion sensor. For instance, the 520 has a motion sensor that detects the slightest vibrations when the remotee is in 'deep sleep' mode. This can often be triggered by just walking in the room. The tilt sensor remotes actually need to be picked up.
2. The reviewer is likely on an old firmware, as there is no screen saver anymore. It was eliminated during the beta testing because it generally serves no purpose. The images show once, if you're lucky, before the remote dims and goes into charging mode. All the feature did was stem discussion on how to make the remote work as a digital photo frame when in the dock. The screen isn't built for that type of use. As a result, many of the beta testers suggested it be removed.
As far as the remote goes, perhaps it's because I've used 5 different remote models over the past 3 years and am extremely familiar with the harmony programming, but I don't think that programming 6+ devices is hard. I was able to very quickly program 7 devices (6 activities) into my 1100 w/ wireless extender. Skimming the review, I didn't see any mention of the removal of sequences on the 1100. Note, sequences = macros, activities (the basis of harmony remotes) still exist.
The 1100 is a solid remote and works well in my main setup. I use an 890 in my bedroom and have used in the past a One, 880, and 510. I'm on the logitech forums a lot and am a "Logi Legend" there. So never fear if you run into problems programming the remote. There are two active "Logi Legends" as well as many others helping out those with problems. Also, in conjunction with Logitech limiting phone support to the first 60 days after initial programming of the remote, they have increased the official Logitech presence on their forums as well.

Great Remote Its the Harmony 1000 with more features
by sfmoffett on February 6, 2009
Pros: You can upload your own images to use as favorites. The touchscreen is very responsive in comparison to the 1000. You can assign soft buttons to do whatever you want and use a decent library of icons for them. Great product.
Cons: Price, I have had trouble setting buttons in an activity for devices not part of that activity (example: putting a button to operate my fan on the Watch TV screen)
All things I can live with.Summary: I own a Harmony 1000 as well which I love but always wanted to have more control of what and where buttons were named and located on the touchscreen and ...
Summary: I own a Harmony 1000 as well which I love but always wanted to have more control of what and where buttons were named and located on the touchscreen and now the 1100 does it. If you are ready to spend $500 to $600 with the rf extender for a remote and want to set it up and tweak it yourself, You can't go wrong with this one.

Summary: If you decide to invest in this remote you won't be disappointed! Does everything it says it should do and more. Easy setup with the option to control every aspect of the remote and your system. The touch screen is a little less responsive then many personal tablets, but the screen seems more rugged then tablets too.

Pretty nice but noisy ( clicking sound)
by Mr Garfield on May 21, 2012
Pros: Very easy to set up, I just decided before hand what I wanted the remote to do, then very intuitive to set up on the logitech web site.
Great little remote. Many comments on it, when friends come over.Cons: Clicking sound when u choose an option, seems more mechanical than Digital. Gets annoying to me, Also should have a better choice of types of Icons to setup in the remote. Could be more intuitive, with Pictures rather than have to read it.
Summary: Yes I would buy it, maybe wait till it got cheaper, ( I paid over $325.00) cannot figure out why this remote is so expensive with the limitations that I ...

Not all it's cracked up to be
by travisrgeorge on March 6, 2012

Summary: Apparently I pressed the touch screen too hard and it cracked. Think about that: it's a touch screen, and you have to press it softly. That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. So now I can't read anything on my screen. What kind of shoddy material is this made out of? Ever heard of gorilla glass? Your screen is pathetic. To make matter worse my remote was still covered under warranty but they refused to send me a replacement or refund because they said it was my fault. For touching a touch screen too hard??!! Are you kidding me?! I'll never buy another Logitech product ever again. I did get the last laugh though. I know for a fact I prevented 2 of my friends from buying these remotes after they heard my story. I also posted my story on fb and told everyone I know, including posting terrible reviews on every website I could think of. It would've been cheaper for the company to send a replacement than to continuously lose business because of me. Haha.

Touch screen no good and Logitech will not replace it
by wtaylor2 on January 18, 2012
Pros: Color screen is nice with large icons compared to wand style remotes.
Cons: Buyer beware! If the touch screen breaks, Logitech will not replace it even if it is a factory defect. Had one for just over 30 days and it is now just an expensive paper weight. Broke in my hand with no abuse. Did not drop it or drop anything on it.
Summary: I owned the Harmony just over one month and the screen cracked while I was pressing the number pad button in the lower corner of the display. No abuse and ...
Summary: I owned the Harmony just over one month and the screen cracked while I was pressing the number pad button in the lower corner of the display. No abuse and minimal pressure. Had to be a factory defect but Logitech would not replace the unit.
Something to consider when buying universal remotes, and this applies to all touch screen remotes. The large touch screen display is a really bright light that is distracting when you are in a dark viewing room. I did not consider this when I bought the 1100 but knowing this from experience, I will take this into consideration when buying a replacement.
I won a Harmony 700 which has worked well for me in another room, which is why I decided to buy the 1100. Big mistake! Stick with the wand style with hard programmable buttons. -
Software doesn't work with latest Mac OS
by djkramer66 on December 31, 2011
Pros: none. never got it to work.
Cons: Harmony software doesn't work with latest mac OS. Hour with tech support. Booted in 32 bit mode, Remote in safe mode. Didn't work. Rotten experience.
Summary: I had been a big harmony fan. Wore our Harmony One out. After this, they lost me. Trying to find another cool solution. Suggestions? Thanks What a disappointment.

2 remotes, both died after 6 months.
by logitechSucks on December 23, 2011
Pros: Very cool, great remote between 1-6 months.
Cons: Only lasts 6 months.
Summary: I purchased the 1st remote, 6 months later the LCD went out.
Logitech support sent be a brand new one (under warranty) today (6 months later) LCD went out again....Summary: I purchased the 1st remote, 6 months later the LCD went out.
Logitech support sent be a brand new one (under warranty) today (6 months later) LCD went out again.
If you like spending $300 every 6 months, this is the remote for you!
I liked Logitech, but their products (probably made in China) do not last very long. I have no idea what company makes a good remote...I may try just using an android, iphone, or ipad as my remote.
Good Luck!
