Is the Logitech Harmony 890 the Last Remote You’ll Ever Need?

Logitech Harmony 890 RemoteIf you’re like me, you’ve probably accumulated quite a collection of remote controls over the years. What the hell am I supposed to do with all these remotes? Stack them on top of each other until they topple over and send some harmless child to the hospital? My favorite remote was the one that came with my after market car CD player. Yes, you heard me right, a car CD player. Honestly, if you can’t move your hand 5 inches from the stick shift to the CD player to change the song, then you need to reevaluate your ambitions in life. Anyways, I digress. It seems that these remotes are not going away any time soon, so we must embrace the solutions that are available. Of course there are standard universal remotes, but those are annoying too. Oh, you have a Toshiba DVD player? Just cycle through these 59 Toshiba 5 digit codes until you figure out which one works. 45 minutes later with zero luck, you’re desperately considering taking up reading as a hobby. No thanks. Luckily, Logitech has been perfecting their solution to this daunting problem. The Logitech Harmony 890 is designed to be the only remote you’ll need. I know I know, you’ve heard that one before. But here’s what sets it apart from the others: theres absolutely no complicated programming involved. Simply hook it up to the web based wizard, enter the model numbers of your devices, and they’ll be programmed for you. That was easy on the thumbs, right? Also, you can use “activity buttons” that allow you to perform multiple functions with the press of a button. For example the “watch tv” button could simultaneously turn on the sound system, television, and cable box, thus saving tons of time and aggravation. You can even program the remote to control other parts of your house, like lighting. To me, it is clear that this is the first remote control, might be more fun to use than the devices that it actually controls. »Get Yours
