Product Information

Logitech has been gradually going more upscale with its PC-programmable Harmony remotes; so it's no great surprise that it's finally entered high-end territory with a touch screen;
tablet-style model; the Harmony 1000i. Unlike other high-end--and more expensive--models from the likes of Crestron and Philips; this swanky Harmony doesn't require hiring a professional
home installer to program or update it. In other words; while AU$700 certainly isn't cheap for a remote; it's still about half the price of what you'd pay for a competing touch screen model
once you combine the cost of the hardware with the cost of the programmer.

THE GOOD:
• Includes a rechargeable battery and a docking station
• Less expensive than other high-end tablet-style remotes Web-programmable
• Compatible with Windows and Macintosh machines


THE BAD:
• No design flexibility (you can't design your own buttons or customise screen layouts; for example)
• Setting up systems with more than five or six components can get tricky
• No easy way to use it in more than one room
• Battery life is mediocre


THE BOTTOMLINE:
• Though it lacks real multi-room capabilities and may not offer quite the flexibility of competing high-end tablet-style remotes; the swanky Logitech Harmony 1000i can be programmed by the average consumer; which saves the cost of hiring a home installer to do it.
