Official Logitech Harmony One thread - Page 53

Rats, Just ordered the Harmony One then came across the Acoustic Research ARRU449 at amazon. Now have buyers remorse. Anyone have any experience with the ARRU449?

I saw this reviewed on G4 and read a few reviews online. It doesn't seem too setup/ergo friendly a remote and WiFi capability is limited. I'm going to wait until Harmony merges their remote with Logitech's Squeezebox network music system. It seems like it would be a good, logical WiFi solution and I hope they have considered implementing something like iit for a next gen Harmony remote.

I think its a blu-ray thing. I too have the bd-30 and can not directly access subtitles via any subtitle key in the database. I looked on the bd30 remote and noticed there isn't direct access there either -- but there is for audio. I know that doesn't mean discrete can't be possible, but I think the way subtitles are handled in blu-ray is different, so it may not be possible.

It may have to be chosen via the menu.

Yes, but the IR commands work both lights at the same time. That is also true with the lutron remotes themselves. So its not a harmony thing.

It does not have a subtitle button on the remote.

thanks a lot buddy, helped a great deal. even got some sweet delay settings around there.

I just upgraded from my 880 to the One tonight, and there are definitely colored circles as the background for my Blue, Green, Red, and Yellow buttons. I am not sure if that's what you're looking for, but it looks great!

Do you have a DirecTV DVR? If so, then there must be a brand-new update, because my update from one or two weeks ago didn't change anything.

Guess I'll have to tinker this weekend!

Excellent. thanks!

Is this a firmware upgrade or just a fix for this? If it was a firmware update was there anything else added/fixed?

Wow, a difficult concept.

LOL!

By the looks of that remote I wouldn't have any remorse. The One is an awesome remote looks wise and functionality wise. I couldn't be happier with it. I had the Harmony 1000 and it was not even close to as good as The One.

I actually MISREAD your suggestion & did the opposite: reduce the PowerDelay from 5000 to 3000.

Luck would have it - fixed the issue!
I am assuming that the TV was waiting 5 seconds before allowing any command to be accepted. Thus the TV missed the H1's switch input signal because it was literally ignoring it for 5 seconds. In that time, the H1's command came & went.

By lowering the PowerDelay to 3 seconds, the TV has a lesser ignore time.

You think?

Harmony One - Ability to map color icons in activities for DirecTV PVR's

Yes, I can verify that the Red, Green, Yellow, Blue soft buttons have colored icons! Nice touch Logitech.

Where did you get the thumbs from?

I was looking on Logitech's website, this forum, and the internet to see what all brands/models the Harmony One could handle before I purchased "one." Unfortunately, I didn't see anything, so if someone has a link for all brand support they could give to me, that would be awesome! I was mainly interested in seeing if the One would work with my Klipsch RW-12D Sub that has menu controls on it and an IR sensor. Thanks

If you have the original remote, the H1 can learn any IR command. But, I did just add the RW-12D to my device profile, so it's there! Run out and buy a H1.

An improvement for sure, but a FAR CRY from Randy's icons. Logitech really needs to let us upload custom images for all soft buttons.

Awww c'mon now. You guys haven't even seen my icon work (other than that batch of 'favorite' logos).

So you are saying that reducing it from 5 to 3 seconds fixed the problem?

If so, that backwards of how I understand it, but hey if it fixed it, that's great! Maybe it was just a glitch to begin with and updating the remote corrected it.

The power-on delay is how long the H1 waits to "send" the command. It shouldn't have any effect on the TV's wait time. hmmm

Exactly. Not sure how it fixed it.
I ensure that I could replicate the problem last night 1 more time before tweaking the setting lower.

Can we have the H1 send the same signal more than once? Is that the repeats? (cur @ 3 for me)

After seeing your logo icons, no one needs to see anything else! You are far too modest.

aw shucks.

does anyone have any word on RF for the harmony one? i'm really ready to get this remote (thought about the 890 and 1000, but just wasn't quite what i wanted and this seems to be the ticket), but my only hang-up is that it would be nice (but not necessary) to have RF and i'd hate to get it only to have the next generation come out in the next few weeks to months and have the RF capabilities. thanks for any info.

Deal again from eCost, $189 plus shipping for the One.

Repeats are there to make sure a single command is accepted by the device.

If you want to send, for example, an extra input command at the start of an activity just to make sure the device goes to the right input, go into the setting for the activity and look for "yes this setup is correct, but I need to add more..." or something like that. Keep hitting next until you get to a section that allows you to add a command to the beginning (and/or end) of the activity.

In all of my activities that use my receiver for sound, I added an extra command to toggle the TV speakers off when entering the activity and another toggle to turn them back on when leaving the activity. The only problem I have found with this is that the "Help" button doesn't seem to ever re-issue commands set up like this. So if it gets missed by the device somehow, you'll have to manually send it if things get out of sync.
