Could someone please tell me if the Harmony One will work with these devices?

1. Sony BDPS301 BluRay
2. Sony KDL46VL130 Monitor/TV
3. Sony HT-CT100 Receiver/HTIB

Would we lose or have problems with the Bravia Synch Feature by using the Harmony One to control the devices?

Thank you

Anyway, the 880 had this option... and I like it because I move a lot when I'm watching TV, this means moving the remote so I don't kick it or drop it.

Basically, by turning it off I end up saving the battery. Plus... I don't know, maybe it's just a quirk of mine and I just prefer for the remote to turn on when I click a button.

Besides the point though... no big deal, loving the One. Huge improvement over the 880 in my opinion!

Sorry if I'm mentioning something you already know, but the amount of time that the screen lights up is adjustable. If you're worried about battery life, you can set it to something like 5 seconds, which isn't going to impact battery life much. Combine that with the very good battery life to begin with, and I suspect it'll become a non-issue for you.

Hope this helps.

Ok, I realize that posting positive things about the Harmony One on this board is preaching to the choir, but for anyone reading along who is on the fence about this remote and has the means to get one, do so. Especially if your reservation is moving from a "macro-based" way of thinking to an "activity-based" way of thinking. I will freely admit that it takes some getting used to, but after a month or so of adapting to Activities I will never go back. If you're hesitant, my advice is to dive right in, but do so with the understanding that it will require a change in "remote philosophy." If you have some trouble at the beginning, read the forums, ask questions here, and be patient. This is just a fabulous remote, and it won't take long until you can't imagine your HT life without it.

Yep, I do know about that option... however, I appreciate the input

And I agree with you. When I got my 880 I was excited but then a little let down with buttons, layout, etc. The One has really made me a happy camper.

I also want to thank squareeyes for his icons, I have downloaded a handful and all my favorites are set up with his icons.

I've been slowly reading thr first pages of this huge thread and see that some usera reported having the Xbox 360 icon buttons (X, Y, A, B) on both the activity they set up and the device.

Can anyone confirm this? I only see them on the activity. When I'm browsing the device directly I get the regular text X, Y, A, and B on the soft keys.

Graphical buttons only appear in the activities for now.

Is it possible to program a discrete IR code for a device into this remote? I got the IR codes from the product website and it looks something like this:

0000 006c 001b 0000 0064 0064 0016 0041 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0041 0016 0015 0016 0041 0016 0041 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0041 0016 0015 0016 0041 0016 0015 0016 0041 0016 0015 0016 0015 0016 0015 0044 0044 0016 0001

Is there anyway to get this programmed into the remote? I can't find anything in the software that would allow me to program anything remotely (no pun) like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Also, I've done some searching but can't find out how to set "scene 1" or any other scene on the harmony one without the original Lutron remote. I just bought a few spacer system dimmers and want to set up scenes to apply to my activities. How can I set scenes 1-4 without the lutron remote?

Thanks for the help, this thread has already been helpfull for this newbie to set up my HT system.

Those look like hex codes. I haven't done it but have read many times that harmony tech support (probably have to go to level 2) can add these.

Go into the activity - customize buttons - add sequence. Name the sequence whatever, then you can add up to 5 commands to that sequence. Then assign that sequence to a button. The sequence can be made of any command from any device in the activity. A simple example would be to assign a pause + lights up sequence to your watch DVD activity. The pause command would be from the DVD player and the lights up command would be from the lutron. Then just assign that sequence to the pause button.

If the lutron remote has commands that didn't get downloaded from harmony, you can go into the device (in the software) and learn the commands using the original remote.

Call Logitech Harmony support and ask for tier II support. Tell them you have some long hex IR codes that you would like added to your account. They will send you an email. Reply to that email and include the long hex codes along with what device you want them added to, and what you would like them called.

I recently did this to add discreet power on and off to my Toshiba HD-A3. It took a long time to get hold of a tier II support person, but once I did it took about 5 minutes to talk to him and send the emails back and forth. The commands showed up in my account the next morning (I also got an email telling me they were added).

Gotta tell you - called them and they had it done in a couple of ours - amazing. Great support Logitech!

I have everything in my appartment programed into my Harmony ONE, except 2 air conditioners I didn't get to yet. Last week my computer crashed, and I lost everything on it, including the Harmony One software.
Can I transfer everything on my ONE back to my computer???How can I get everything I have programed into my Harmony ONE back into my computer???

You really didn't lose any of the programming, it is all stored on the 'web'. Just download the software from their site, or use your CD, log in with your existing account, and all your commands will be there.

Heck... there's even a website that was used before the software was released.

It takes IR (from any remote) and converts it to bluetooth. Unlike some similar devices, this one appears to be immune to PS3 software upgrades which killed the on/off function of other "converters". (Sony would have to do something rendering their own media remote useless for this to happen to the IR2BT). The IR2BT can be powered by USB (by any always-on USB port like on a STB); can be plugged into wall outlet; or can be powered by batteries. Because it transmits bluetooth, it doesn't need to be in proximity to the PS3---you just need to be able to point your IR remote at it.

The problem is the manufacturer is relatively small, so you essentially have to get on a list to receive one. His feedback forum is amazing, though. He (and others) respond quickly, and everyone seems to be quite pleased with the product.

Mine is being shipped as we speak. I can't wait. I know I sound like a fanboy and I admittedly haven't even had the opportunity to use one. I have the Nyko Blu-wave, but I just can't seem to get beyond the delays and the inability to turn on the PS3.


I got my IR2BT last week. It works great with my Harmony 360 remote. I really want the Harmony One but I'm going to wait it out till they have a unit with RF.

How long does it take for Logitech to add new components to their database? More specifically... The new Sony receivers (ie. 720 series).

Thanks

I got my Pioneer Elite PRO-150 on August 31 - a day before they were released. It was already in the Harmony Data base.

Sometimes, as long as it takes for a user to put it there!

A lot of devices are there because users add them. I dont know how Logitech work, whether they have manufacturers advise them or what.

This Harmony One remote looks too good to pass up.

I have a 720 currently (which works great!) but I've never liked the feel of the buttons -- especially the volume/channel up/down buttons.

Anyway... I'd like to get a head-start on snagging some icons. I found a great site for channel icons (from squareeyes) but can't find the A, B, and C buttons that work with a DVR. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

The A, B, and C button icons show up automatically when you setup the remote. They only show up in an activity not the individual device (I believe).

HH,
It's down a level in the software.
Go to your Watch TV activity:
-Settings
-Set Up Favorite Channels
Follow the onscreen inst. from there. Use 'Browse' if you want to add icons that you have downloaded to your computer.
Or you can use any of those fantastic 'Fox' affiliate icons that Harmony has set up for you...
Hope that helps.
