Logitech's Harmony Remotes to get Speech Recognition, Biometrics and Search Function

Just when you thought they couldn't cram any more features into their Harmony 1000, the folks at Logitech are planning to give their uber remote a trio of features that'll include speech recognition, biometric security and a built-in search function. More »

Logitech Harmony 1000 Touchscreen Remote Reviewed (Verdict: Purty, Functional, Cheap)

I was mighty impressed back in September during my hands-on with the Logitech Harmony 1000 remote at CEDIA and the first reviews are finally starting to roll in. The folks at Remote Shoppe got their hands on this remote and are mighty impressed. There are two features that make this remote stand out—the easy setup and price tag. Most touchscreen remotes like the 1000 are required to be professionally installed. This one comes loaded up with Logitech's programming software that allows the remote to be configured easily via an Internet-enabled computer. Also, this remote has a $500 price tag, which may seems like a lot, but not compared to other, similar style remotes that push the $2,000 price mark. The only downside is the form factor. If you are the kind of person that needs the traditional-shaped remote, this may be worth avoiding. Other nice features include the recharging base station and tilt sensor that activates the LCD and backlight. –Travis Hudson More »

CEDIA 2006: Hands-On With the Logitech Harmony 1000

Remember a couple days ago when we broke the story about the fancy pants Logitech Harmony 1000 do-it-all remote. Well I got a chance to sit down with a Logitech rep for a bit of a hands-on experience, and I must say, it is the cat's pajamas and more. More »

First Photos: Logitech Harmony 1000 Universal Remote Can Turn On Your Lights

Here's a sexy bit of kit. Logitech's latest Harmony 1000 universal remote does the usual song and dance— an Irish Jig, really— that previous Harmony remotes do. We're talking about access to an online user-grown database with codes for 150k devices. But it also has a 3.5-inch touchscreen, control of RF devices through some extender box, and Z-Wave. Z-Wave, you know. No? It's a wireless home automation standard that can be used to control lights, door locks, window shades, and appliances. Or, think about it like this. With one click, you can turn on the DVD player, dim the lights, and start the laundry. More »
