Background and Identification
The Logitech Harmony One is a universal remote by Logitech that was released in 2008. Logitech Harmony is a line of remote controls and home automation products produced by Logitech, an American-Swiss manufacturer of computer peripherals and software. The Harmony line includes universal remote products designed for controlling the components of home theater systems (including televisions, set-top boxes, DVD and Blu-ray players, video game consoles) and other devices that can be controlled with infrared light. The line also includes newer “Hub” products that can be used to control supported Internet of Things (IoT) and smart home products, and also allow the use of mobile apps to control devices.
All Logitech Harmony remote controls are set up online using an external configuration software, which can be done using a computer running Microsoft Windows or MacOS to which the remote can be connected with a USB cable. The remote includes infrared learning capability that can upload information about a new remote to an online device database. The Harmony remote software allows users to update the remote configuration, learn IR commands, and upgrade the remote control’s firmware.
The Logitech Harmony One includes an LCD display at the top of the device, which is also a touchscreen. This display allows the user to access functions by scrolling through a graphical menu. The remote includes the name “Harmony One” at the bottom in grey letters and the name “Logitech” in white letters above the remote’s display.
