  • Logitech quietly launches $99 Harmony 510 universal remote

    Filed under: Home Entertainment


    We know, January wasn't that long ago, but in consumer electronics years, it's been forever since a new Harmony was revealed. For those of you already on the hunt for a sub-$100 gizmo to give to your favorite person this holiday season, Logitech is jonesing for your business with its entry-level Harmony 510 universal remote. You should know, however, that the IR remote operates just five devices (remember the "entry-level" bit we mentioned?), though it does boast an inbuilt LCD and a fair amount of buttons. Harmony freaks have already pointed out that this one looks almost like a repackaged 550, though your technology-challenged sibling / parent / colleague probably won't take the time to notice. Get those stockings stuffed early for $99.99 (MSRP) a pop.

    To what should my wandering eyes appear, but 4 tiny buttons with colors so clear!

    Drew should be happy! Wonder if he's seen this yet...

      Actually when I was at CES I talked to the person who was in charge of designing the Harmony One and my number one complaint was lack of color buttons. I made my case and I left feeling like I'd convinced him. Looks like I was right

          They did finally update the Harmony One with colored circles in the touch screen that are properly mapped. The WAF went way up when they did that.

          I have to admit, my One is about the closest to remote Nirvana... The 3 changes it needs to be perfect are:

          1) Hard colored buttons
          2) RF capability
          3) Bluetooth capability so I can have on/off on my PS3 (although I'm getting close to a working macro)

            I need: (In order of importance)
            RF (DIRECTV style)
            RF (DIRECTV style)
            RF (DIRECTV style)

            I'm very disappointed the only remotes that can do DIRECTV RF are either too limited or $350.

            Cheers,
            Tom

              Tom,

              I haven't looked before because I didn't think any universal remotes did RF (DIRECTV style)...what ones do?

                I think the harmony 890 is the only one.

                And now it's on sale--only $265-ish. Ouch!

                Cheers,
                Tom
