Here's what I want my 1100 to do. I want to hit one button and have things turn on. After that, I want to control individual components. I want to be able to change the input on my pre/pro on the fly. Quick and painless. Is this possible with the 1100?

Here's the best way I can explain what I'm after.. I think. The only 'activity' I want the 1100 to do is turn on/off my processor, amp, pj, PPPs, & sat receiver. After that is done, I want individual control of all my gear. I want to turn on my BD player and select when I want to switch inputs. Not have an activity decide when it's time for me.

Delete your current activities & create a custom one that does this( turn on/off my processor, amp, pj, PPPs, & sat receiver ), Then you can use the remote in "DEVICES" mode to do the rest. I believe you can do this the way it's currently setup. You should be able to use your OPPO power toggle( on the 1100 ) to turn it on or off anytime you want. You can also switch inputs on your Denon AVP at anytime( you have to switch devices on the 1100 to have access to individual device controls ).

Anyone own a Logitech Harmony 650? It's on sale this weekend at Best Buy for $69 and I was thinking about picking it up. I was wondering if it was any good.

Does anyone experience some functions stop working after awhile?

I have the 520 and for example on my pioneer Receiver I can't use the arrow buttons to move up or down using the menu anymore. There is probably some others but at the moment I can't think of them.

Sometimes the keys do stop working! :( ...And it is known from the channel keys as well on the 520.

I ain't saying that it is the case in your situation, but only from what I am awared of in the past.

* I suggest you call Logitech Harmony customer support, and explain your situation to them (a friend of mine was sent a new 550 free, even after the warranty period time expired)! :)

well i am looking to buy a 1000 or 1100...kind of want to buy it used. anyone getting rid of your remotes???? or if anyhelp with a good website besides ebay and craigslist i can find one??

Perhaps Audiogon and Videogon.

Don't waste your time with the 1000. In fact there might be a lot of used ones out there. There was some major problems with the 1000. One was: the volume would automatically run up wide open and that is something you don't want to hear.

Get the 1100 only. It is a great remote. They use to be $499.00 now Logitech has them for sale for $299.99 on their web site.

Mentioned before, but I wanted to point out that the RF feature on the 1100 or 1000 needs a $100 extender. So if you want the RF capabilities, be prepared to pay an extra $100. That is a bit of false advertising on Logitech's part IMO.

Also there is an IR extender as well that looks almost exactly like the RF extender. So you want the RF extender, NOT the cheaper IR extender.

I got a question about the battery in the remotes that have a cradle. Does having the remote on the cradle and constantly charging shorten its battery's life? I know keeping your laptop plugged to the wall all the time does shorten the lithium ion battery's life. This is the same w/ power tools' lithium ion batteries.

On my 900, I do not think the cradle has a sensor that can sense the remote is fully charged nor does it have a shut off feature. Someone correct me if I am wrong.

I tried to skim this article as much as I could to find my answer, but there's just so many pages of responses, I cant read through everything..

The question I've got is, does the Harmony One support third-party Z-wave capabilities?

Yes, it does have a sensor to stop the charging when the battery is fully charged.

Just ordered my Logitech Harmony 1100 yesterday from Amazon. $279 with free 2 day shipping as I am a Prime member.

Can't wait for it to arrive. I can't tell you how many times the cleaning lady has accidentally goofed up all inputs / volumes, etc. trying to figure out my remotes just to have some music on in the background :rolleyes:

Does it come with a factory warranty? If not, for $20 more, get it from Logitech

"1-year limited hardware warranty" listed as included.

Good catch asking about that.

:D ...But did she got that "background music" at the end? ;)

Chicka-bowww... Chicka-bowww-bowww :whip:

What kinda service are you running here?! :D

Nothing specific, I just enjoyed reading your post Scott! :)

I just purchased a Harmony One the other day. I'm loving it.

However, I've got a quick question. I read in the little setup guide that there will be a "green light" that signifies the remote has finished charging. However, no matter how long I keep the remote on the cradle, I dont see any sort of "green light" anywhere. If I move the cradle and remote (not disconnecting the remote from the cradle) so that it turns on the screen, it always shows the charging sign on it with the quarter-full battery and the lightning bolt in the middle of the screen.

Is my Harmony One charging correctly? The tiny battery icon in the top right corner looks fully charged, but I just dont see any indication other than that, that it is "fully" charged
