Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the Harmony Smart Control 8-Device Universal Remote's easy setup process and affordable price point as positive aspects. The remote is seen as a suitable replacement for lost or damaged remotes. However, some users express dissatisfaction with the small size of the buttons and the requirement for a hub to operate the device.

    I had to buy this as a replacement of my old Harmony remote. My dog ate the other one. It works great and was easy to set up. Love it and the price.

    I already have hub and keyboard. This completes what is missing. I really advice this product. I have sat, av receiver, bd, tv, ps4. Only with one command (except ps4 unit) I can turn on every device that I need.

    This remote is a great addition to my Logitech Harmony keyboard as it does functions not available on the keyboard, yet it is cheaper than buying a new remote system.

    I really like this remote. I had an older Xbox unit and this is much smaller and I think easier to use. It takes a bit to get used to the long and short presses function, but it has worked flawlessly so far.

    I bought this as a companion to the Harmony Hub and the Hub App was able to add this remote and customize it very easily. What I love about the remote is that it doesn't need a direct line of site to the hub. It just works no matter where the remote is pointing. From what I understand this remote is an add on for the hub and won't work by itself without the hub. The reason this doesn't get 5 stars is because I don't like that it uses a coin battery cell instead of letting you use regular batteries. I know it's to keep the remote slim but honestly it's not that much smaller than most controls. Still overall a great buy.

    Not good if you want to "add" a remote. Hub will not work with multiple remotes so this didn't work out for me and I returned it. Would have been nice to keep a remote in each room since my hub controls devices in two different rooms.

    Bought this item to replace my 4+ year old smart control that wasn't working anymore. I had the box opened and the replacement controller up and running in less than 5 minutes. It was very easy to pair with my existing hub. I highly recommend this replacement rather than buying a whole new hub system.
