Harmony One Replacement
The Harmony One is an excellent multipurpose remote which can replace several other remotes. If you follow the instructions it is fairly easy to program, but you need to have access to the back side of all your components. It is not infrared so you do need to have direct line of site. The touch screen is nice and it gives a variety of features without searching all over to turn a component on. The design is well thought out and easy to hold with one hand use for everything. Having the number pad ready for use is great, some others have it in their touch screen but this is much easier to use.
This Harmony One was purchased as a direct replacement for one exactly like it which had a damaged screen. Since the previous one was already programed for all our components it was relatively simple to set the new one up ( it took less than 10 minutes to make the change ).
The only negative and it's the reason for the 4 stars rating, is that the new control reacts slower to the touch commands than the old control. I don't know why this is, but you must hold the touch button/screen down longer for it to respond. This takes some getting used to after the speed of the previous control. This may be because this replacement was a display model and the original was new and never touched. I'm uncertain if this is the reason, it's just a guess.
Over all I am very pleased with the Harmony One control. I understand they do not make this particular model anymore. It was not inexpensive either as new or a display and the new replacements are now infrared, but having had one just like it I knew I had no reason to go with the infrared model, and the programing was simple enough to make the switch. I would buy one again if the need were there and I could find one like I did.
