We know who you are. You have a half-dozen remotes on your coffee table. And you’re the only one in the family who knows how to use them. You may even have a cheat sheet. The Harmony One can help–a remote that’s designed for the whole family.

So do away with all the hassles of multiple remotes and get the one that gives you easy one-touch control for all your home entertainment: Harmony, from Logitech.

The color touch screen and sculpted buttons, organized into logical zones with backlighting, give you easy, one-touch access to your home entertainment – even in the dark. Just one press and you’re watching a DVD or your favorite TV channel. The ergonomic design fits comfortably in your hand, and because it’s rechargeable, you won’t need to worry about buying new batteries. With support for more than 5,000 brands, you can control home-entertainment devices that you own today or will buy tomorrow. Our online software guides you through setup, and our live customer support team is available if you need help.

Intuitive Color Touch Screen for Easy, One-Touch Access to Your Entertainment
One-touch, activity-based control provides any member of the family with easy access to home entertainment. The color touch screen has buttons that “think” like you do. All you need to do is choose the activity that you want. Want to watch TV? Play a DVD? Listen to the radio? Just press a single button, and the Harmony remote will do the work for you.

Sculpted Buttons with Backlighting for Easy Navigation, Even in the Dark
The sculpted buttons on the Harmony One remote have been organized into logical zones, making it easy to find the function that you’re looking for. And because the buttons (and the color touch screen) also have backlighting, the remote is easy to use even in the dark.

Contoured Design that Fits Comfortably in Your Hand
The shape of the Harmony One remote has been ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in your hand. By helping position your hand in just the right spot on the remote, the distinctly shaped grips give you easy access to key buttons.

Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery with Sleek Recharging Stand
The Harmony One remote is rechargeable, so you won’t need to worry about buying new batteries. The battery indicator lets you know when the remote battery is low, so when it needs recharging, just put the remote into its cradle. And this recharging stand can serve as the “home base” for your remote, so you always have a place to keep it.

Online Guided Setup that Makes It Easy to Get Started
Helpful online setup software and our live customer support team can help you when you need it. You don’t need to be an expert.

Seamless Control of up to 15 Components

Your Harmony One remote can support up to 15 separate devices, making it easy to control even the most complex home entertainment systems.

Customer Reviews:

Wonderfully simple to setup and use, December 16, 2008
I love this product. Couldn’t be simpler to setup and use. You need to know how your devices are connected to a receiver to accurately setup the remote. Can’t believe I went so long trying to program the supposedly “universal” remotes or juggling remotes. Now one remote does it all.

So Simple Even My Wife Can Use It, December 11, 2008
This is a great remote control; from its ultra-simple online guided set-up, to its ergonomic design, to actually using it.

Set-Up: As simple as selecting what brands you own that you need to control, and then entering the model number. From there, just tell it what you want to do. The interface is “activity” driven, not device. For example, if you want to set it up to watch a DVD, the Harmony One will ask you what needs to happen and it will do the rest. For example, which input your receiver should be set to. You don’t need to input command by command macros–the Harmony One does it for you!

Interface: I used to have a Philips Pronto Remote, and hated having to go from screen to screen to access the command you needed–very tedious. Bottomline–hard buttons are more user friendly. The Harmony One has plenty of hard buttons, but not too many. Some other Harmony remotes are overloaded with buttons that are too small. The Harmony One has just the right amount for what you will normally need. When there is that one “other” function that is used sometimes, but not too often, the LCD will include it.

Usage: I’m not being sexist when I say “even my wife can use it”. She hated my Pronto. As I was setting this remote up, I knew my wife would like it. Once set-up was complete (and I made sure it was functioning as it should), I handed the remote to my wife with all of the components turned off. I asked her to watch TV. She was instantly able to understand that all she had to do was push the “Watch TV” button on the LCD. She did, the TV turned on, and switched to the correct input(Componenet 1). The UP/Down Channel buttons controlled our TIVO, as they should, and the volume buttons controlled the TV volume. I then asked her to watch a DVD. She touched the “Watch a DVD” button, and our BluRay player turned on, the TV switched to the HDMI input, and the AV receiver powered up and switched to the DVD input. The Volume buttons on the remote now controlled the AV receiver, not the TV–perfect. One other very cool thing happened–the LCD screen on the remote switched to BluRay, and offered an Eject button. We pushed the button and the disc door opened. When we were done, all my wife had to do was push a single “Off” button, and everything powered down, except for the TIVO, which we were given the option to keep on during set-up. Brilliant.

As I said earlier, this is a great remote. I highly recommend it.
