I made a good choice when I first bought the Logitech Harmony 890 Advanced Universal Remote Control. It harbors the ability to contain 15 devices in its memory which ranges from household appliances to lighting. It comes with a one-year hardware warranty too if I may add.

Starting off with its wizard-based installation, the configuring of devices was simple enough. After installing the Harmony software and registering an ID, I connected my devices while stating the devices I have and categorizing them into various activities. I am delighted to say that it worked well for both Mac and Windows for me.
Besides, thanks to the RF wireless extender which came with the remote, I can roam around the house but still being able to navigate devices which are in other rooms. If the remote ever encounters a problem in picking up the devices’ signal, there is a handy prominent ‘Help’ button which is user-friendly, ready to assist me.
Yet another plus point, the Logitech Harmony 890 Advanced Universal Remote Control comes with a rechargeable battery and naturally, a charging cradle. The remote has a super sensitive motion sensor too. It comes to live with its backlights turned on each time I pick it up, how cool is that!
A few points which are less satisfying though, I had to update the RF receiver so very often even if I just made a very minor change on my remote configuration. In the end, I had the receiver placed near to a power source where I can easily disconnect and reconnect it from my system. Furthermore, the physical buttons on this remote needs getting accustomed to since I had some trouble reading the small labels.
As a whole, disregarding the minor flaws, the Logitech Harmony 890 Advanced Universal Remote Control is a pleasure to use. The design is plausible and if you are tired of your dozen or so remotes, this is the universal remote for you.
