A Closer Look at the Harmony One Remote
Look at the box and you’ll see a rather sleek-looking remote. If you dig deeper and take the unit out of the box, you’ll notice the standard array of buttons for controlling your entertainment system. It has the standard four directional arrows and navigation buttons for the windows media center.
On the glossy top section is a small touch screen. It comes with hot keys opposite and underneath it. It also has a lightweight and rechargeable lithium-ion battery. This is probably its biggest plus because this means that you don’t need to replace the batteries. All you need to do is put it in its cradle when you’re not home and it automatically recharges itself. You will find a charging adapter and the bed inside the package.
Included is also a USB cable so that you can connect the unit to your PC when you need to program it and make updates. Just go to Logitech’s website and download the latest software. You will be give on-screen prompts to follow so that you are able to configure the remote with your equipment. The database constantly updates itself online so that you can make sure your device is always performing to its optimal level.
After installing the software, you will be required to create an account. This helps keep your remote settings in a Logitech database online so that the company always knows what you have. Next, plug the remote via the USB cable so that the program checks and updates the software/firmware on the remote when needed. Adding a device couldn’t be any simpler.
