The Harmony 1100 Owner's Thread... - Page 3

I have recently upgraded from the 1000 to the 1100 in order to get rid of the dreaded double hits and runaway volume (call me crazy but I trusted that this move would fix the issue). I have had the 1100 for 2 weeks now and my wife has noticed on two occasions that the 1100 has done double hits, although for briefer periods of time than the 1000. Has anyone else noticed this? Given that I have not yet noticed this issue I am holding out hope that my wife is imagining things. Otherwise, the thing works great and is a nice upgrade with the extra customizable features.

HEy I mentioned the other day about trying to get a Nevo S50 or 70. Well I'm half there I got the software but now I got to get his windows computer. I only use MAC and you can't run the program through fusion. . . .so a few more days and I should have some more insite with differences.

I picked up the remote as an upgrade from the Harmony 1000 So far and biggest difference besides a few software changes has been its daily operation. It just performs smother then the 1000. There are no more hang up's, no sudden shut down like there was on the 1000. It is a shame that Logitech could not apply the differences of the 1100 to the 1000. By the way the clock that shows on the graph of the remote box is also on the remote. My suggestion is if you have a 1000 and it is working fine for you it might not be worth upgrading. I had issues with my 1000 since day one so 1100 was a welcome piece to my home theater.

I had problems with double hits and tried the suggestion of learning the commands from the original remote but the double hit problem still occurs. While the double hits are less frequent, I feel that it's fair to warn potential "upgraders" from the 1000 that this problem may not be completely fixed. I'm actually in the doghouse as I told my wife that this upgrade would be worth the cost as it would fix her biggest gripe with the 1000.

Just want to check, have you tried adjusting the repeats setting?

I'm on this thread as I'm curious about the 1100. I'm currently a happy owner of the One (two of 'em), but am always interested in any improvements...

Regarding the "double-hit" issue, this is something I've experienced (with frustration) with my One for the main video system. It always does it while navigating my "Cars" Blu-ray disc's menu system (I think it's hiccuped on one or two other BDs though can't remember which). If I use the player's original remote (Samsung 1500), navigating the Cars menus work just fine.

So I'll update my One by learning the L/R/U/D commands directly from the Samsung's remote...thanks for the simple tip!

I've followed the suggestion to change the up/down commands and so far after one day I have had no double hits; however, it was previously relatively infrequent, so I won't be convinced for about a week or so.

Is the Harmony 1100 compatible with any light switches/dimmers? If so, can you suggest a couple for me.

Thanks,

I am using the Lutron products. It works great with the Harmony.
I believe the Lutron is the Maestro.
I hope that helps you out.

From checking the compatibility page on logitech's site, it looks like they are compatible with the Lutron Maestro IR dimmers. Would using one of these require that the remote be pointed at it vs a RF style one such as how the RF extender works? Does the remote work with RF switches?

I'm looking to control a few switches in separate parts of the house with this.

Thanks again.

Like I said earlier, the best way to take care of this problem is to adjust the repeats setting for your Blu-Ray player.

Go to the Blu-Ray player device and click on troubleshoot.

Select The device sometimes responds to commands too many times, or not enough (it says something like that but I may not have the wording exactly right). Then click on Next.

Set the repeats to 0 and hit next.

Update your remote and check it out. If it starts missing commands then go back in and increase the repeats to 1 and try it again.

the 1100 does not have z-wave compatibility for light switches like the 890 does

So I got my hands on a Nevo s50 a few days ago. I spend a couple hours getting it set up for use. I have to say it is a really great remote. You can set it up to do whatever you can imagine, but it takes time. If you aren't used to programming remotes then it is a process. I am in the middle I'd say of knowing what I'm doing and not. It works perfect, but the time needed to get it to the point of a harmony from the start is a lot longer. I personally don't think their data base is as good. I use contractor series amps and subs fro velodyne. I couldn't get over that harmony had them in their database. I was impressed. Nevo didn't. It also didn't have updates for all of the new Marantz receivers or NAD stuff. I was also turned off by that.

All and all I am sticking with the harmony road for now. I just don't want to put the time and energy in for the Nevo. The Harmony works just as well and does what I need. It would be nice to have the increased flex setup of touch screens like he Nevo but I don't think it's worth the time.

How come it looks silver?

No double hits since updating the remote with original Tivo commands. Maybe the issue is "fixed", although I never tried this fix with the 1000 so I can't say whether it would have worked for both remotes.

That is clearly the 1100 and not the 1000 in that picture. It looks silver because the picture is washed out by the flash of his camera.

Look closely at the picture. You'll see the additional buttons that flank both sides of the LCD touchscreen. The 1000 does not have these.

Thanks for clearing that for me BTF1980. Joerod Why would I say I have the remote if I don't?
Are you kidding me!!!!
Here is a better pic.

I knew that this was too good to be true. Double hits still occurring despite using the original remote codes and changing the name. Just when I thought that I had found a workable replacement for the 1000...
