Official Logitech Harmony One thread - Page 14

Anyone have pics of the different types of theme you can have on this remote. By default i think its set at Polymer and the other two are Tron and something else.

These icons rock! Can you also make one for LinkTV ? There on DirecTV. There website is http://www.linktv.org

I think they caught it tonight, or at least in Southern California. I went there tonight to try to get one, at first the customer sale woman said that they don't do rain checks. Then I talked to another sales rep and he knew about the harmony one going for $150 before I said the price, but it was out of the computer and wouldn't do the price change since he sold one for that on Saturday not on Sunday (today). Oh well, thanks for those that made the price available for the rest of us.

kian,
thank you for providing the url. that helps me out when i make these suckers... some of the more obscure channels take longer to find online as clean art than they do to make.

Finally got a chance to mess with the remote a little bit tonight and now it just needs some fine tuning. Tough to figure it all out while watching the superbowl.

Square...you're icon list has been linked a couple of times over on Slickdeals...youre icons are making you and icon!

Under the Device Setup/Options menu: go to adjust delays and set the Inter-Device Delay to the amount of seconds you want a specific device to wait to turn on after the other devices are turned on. For example, I have my watch HD DVD activity set to turn on the Integra 9.8 first, then the Sony TV, and then the HD DVD player 6000 milliseconds (6 seconds) later. I did this because I was having problems with the A35 not doing the HDMI handshake properly unless it was turned on last. This assures that the other components are up and running before the A35 is turned on so I don't have any HDMI handshake issues. I came up with this specific time delay for the A35 after watching how long it took for the 9.8 and the TV to do their HDMI handshake. Since I've done this, I've not had any HDMI handshake problems.

will add to list. i'm going to be under the gun this week with many. many deadlines at work. next update will probably be toward end of week or weekend. i'll keep a tally of requests as they come in.
cheers,

I can't seem to figure out why some of my Xbox 360 buttons don't work. Mainly it's the (B)red, (X)blue, (A)green and (Y)yellow buttons.

The Harmony got the xbox 360 uploaded to the remote and the buttons are there but they don't work. I don't have a remote to learn them, all I have is the wireless controller.

How can I fix this?

do you mean that the 360 does not respond at all to the remote's button pushes?
the reason i ask is that there seems to be an issue on the forum unique to the 360 with redundant activity pages appearing on the remote.
if you mean the former- that it does not respond at all, then i would try wiping the device and recreating it (and all related activities). before doing that i would see if the hard buttons activate the 360 (it could be a touchscreen issue).
my 360 responds immediately to all button pushes on the remote- both lcd and hard.

They are working now. When I doing my first testing of the all of my buttons these didn't work. But I've updated it several times since I bought it and they are working now, yah!

How can I start a device without using the built in database? I want to learn my AV receiver without using the database that's built in to the remote.



BTW, I downloaded your icons and they look incredible on this remote. Thank you for your effort and time. I got them from Remote Central.

you can add commands to your database from your existing remotes within the harmony desktop software->activity->customize buttons->learn command.
you may also do it under device->learn ir.
have your original remotes at hand and follow the onscreen instructions. that should do the trick.
i'm glad you like the icons. i'm adding to them frequently, so if there are any that you would like just let me know.
thanks,
randy c

I found that the XYAB buttons on the xbox 360 do not function on the harmony one remote until after I activate the wireless controler when powering on the 360.

Aftere living with the remote a week or so, I will have to say that the piano black is kind of a pain. It looks absolutely beautiful when clean, but does tend to get dirty quickly. A button to disable the screen temporarily would be nice for cleaning purpose.

I went to Harmony's site to ask a cuople of questions, mainly, if it will be possible to use custom icons and if it will be possible that the Device could be made to use the Custom icons that the Activity has since it is not consistent now. THey said they would pass it on, but that is it.

Keep a box of handi-wipes on the table next to the remote, and clean you fingers after dipping into the buttered popcorn.

LOL nice

The remote comes with a microfiber cloth for cleaning the screen. You don't need a button to disable the screen as the touch screen only responds to electrical pulses from the skin. Rubbing a cloth over the screen doesn't activate any of the tabs.

LOL.

not too far off from what i do... albeit i try to keep my greasy digit-prints off the thing if i'm macking on pizza or ribs. i have used lenscrafter's premoistened lens cleaner wipes on my old 720 and it's cleaned off all prints, and is mild enough not to damage the finish.

...or you can keep a finger bowl on your table along with those handiwipes.

Here's my impression of the Harmony One after having it for 1 day.

This for me is probably the best fitting remote for my hand. It may be different for others but I can't think of any other remote that is this light weight and actually feels very good in your hand. It's well balanced to and the buttons are nicely laid out for browsing cable/satellite without looking. The contour fits your hand unlike some "squared" URC remotes.

The button pushes have a light click which isn't bad and much better than any other Harmony remote has done. I think the clicks will lessen as the remote is used. Now don't think of the clicks as a bad thing but they are different than the 659.

The button layout & spacing is near perfect in my opinion. I really like this remote and what Logitech has done. It's a complete new design from the past remotes and in my opinion probably the best.

I'm not a big fan of touch screen but the One has a nice small one thats not to obtrusive and works/programs easily. You can map buttons from other devices to the current activity you're on. The LCD buttons you make allow you to type in up to 3 lines of text [you must put a space between each line] up to 10-11 characters on each line, which allows you to actually read what the button does. Each button I made on the LCD screen was perfectly readable.

Now this all depends on whether you use capital letters, lower case, or even numbers. But I was able to put numbers & lower case letters on a button looking like this....

11 EACH LINE (NUMBERS)
12345678901
12345678901
12345678901

11 EACH LINE (LOWER CASE LETTERS)
abcdefghijk
abcdefghijk
abcdefghijk


10 EACH LINE (CAPITAL LETTERS
ABCDEFGHIJ
ABCDEFGHIJ
ABCDEFGHIJ



Programming it was no different than other Harmony remotes.

I do like how I can create a new LCD page for a device and not have to use the full page. This was missing on my 659 but this now allows me to group similar device functions on one page rather than having them all on one page to make another.

The base station is nice and has a crevass underneath that allows your to route the small power wire to the back or the front considering which way you want the base station to sit. It also has a bright white light on it to find it in the night. The light can be turned off and the brightness lowered if you want.

Things I'd like to see but not real important is:

Import different colored buttons to the LCD screen.
Custom buttons designs on the LCD screen.

Over all I was looking for a remote with RF but I saw this remote and it looked like what I was wanting in a universal remote. I believe I'll keep this one until Logitech makes one with RF.

Not sure if this is old news, but my software just updated to 7.4.1

Dunno what that changes?

Well, I have not tried to use the Logitech cloth, but have wiped it on my shirt which did activate the buttons. I will bust the cloth out to see what happens.

I hold my hand over the sending end and wipe away. The screen is easy to get back to its original state then and nothing is changed.

Looks like Logitech just released a new firmware for the Harmony One. Updating my remote just now caused V2.5.1 to be installed.

can anyone comment on ir signal breadth vs. my good old trusty 659?

Now that everything is set up and working the way I want it, I tried the three themes for the screen. All three look snappy.

Any comments on preferences. Tron looks good so I settled on it for a while.

Strange thing happened when I charged my remote for the 2nd time. First time there was a large battery in the middle 1/4 green in color with a lightning bolt "to show it was Charging" and the small battery on top. When it was fully charged the lightning bolt turned into a check mark and the large battery was fully green " to show fully charged:. This time no small battery on top kept it on cradle for around 18 hours and the large battery in middle still had a lightning bolt no check mark showing fully charged. When I took it off cradle the small battery is full. Thought when it was fuly charged the battery in middle should be full green and a check mark like the first time. Would figure 18 hours of charge should be enough first time I only charged it for 7 hours and it showed a fully charged signal. Is something wrong?? Also the first time I charged it it was not programed now there is a screen saver sort of thing after I see the large battery for a split second like diffrent colors on the screen for the 5 seconds the light is on. Thanks for any info..
