Logitech Harmony 510 Advanced Universal Remote Control Review

Sleek, Easy to Setup, & Does everything you need!!!
Good Looking, Affordable, and programs easily:

This remote is sleek looking, though it is hard to tell from the pictures. It fits very nicely in the hand and works as advertised. The programming is the easiest it has ever been. All you need is your component model numbers and which input your devices are connected to, the software will do the rest. All you do is answer questions and the software guides you through the programming. I bought and programmed 2 harmony remotes; Harmony One (6 components) and this 510 (3 components). The programming software worked flawlessly each time. Unless you are completely clueless about your system, you should be able to program this, no problem. Gone are the days of programming by a series of pressing and holding certain buttons.

Four Customizable Color buttons

This remote is unique in that it has the four colored buttons at the bottom that will control whatever you like. For example I like to us the “Sleep” function at night on my tv, so I program it to one of these. Or if you have unique buttons on your Cable DVR like “Live TV” or “My DVR” or “Prev/Last” on your TV. You can program any botton, it will even let the 510 learn it from an existing remote if necessary.

Harmony 510 vs Harmony One

If you want your main activities buttons or these extra buttons on your remote in a touch screen get the Harmony One, if not this is a very affordable alternative and does virtually ever function, just without the touch screen. It is also sometimes easier and takes up less room to not have to worry about a charger (ie One). YOu shouldn’t to change batteries maybe once a year, twice at most.

Help/Troubleshoot Feature:

Another awesome feature is the help. Lets say you are using your remote and something doesn’t turn off or on, just hit the Help button, it will ask you questions until it fixes the problem, very cool.

Bottom Line:
Easy, Affordable, Sleek, You just have to press “ONE” button to do any task, Watch TV, Watch Movie, Play Wii, etc AND most importantly you can put you don’t need a pile of remotes on your coffee table anymore!!!!
