Digital camera reviews of Logitech Harmony RF Wireless Extender
Digital camera Review: Improves the reliability of your Harmony remote
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my third Harmony remote (model 890), and previously I wasn't using the RF Extender.
When you buy the Harmony 890, one RF Extender like this one is already included in the box.
I felt that the RF Extender increases the reliability of the Harmony remote. Previously I found myself using more frequently the Harmony "Help" button to re-send signals that were not picked by the devices. With the RF Extender, the infrared emitter is glued right into each device signal receptor, so there's no way it doesn't detect the signal.
I highly recommend using the RF Extender if you found yourself using too frequently the Help button to resend signals to your devices.
Digital camera Review: Just OK - see also my review for the Harmony 1000
Summary: 3 Stars
I noted within my review for the H1000 that sometimes some setup routines don't complete (IE a TV is switched to ON, but is not set to Input 1 for example). Other times it is. Not sure which piece drops the ball occasionally.
I did also find that it works much better, even being RF, if I have the receiver exposed on top of the audio cabinet. Shouldn't be, and I don't know why, but it does. I am a software tester by profession and the application my company writes uses RF devices extensively - I can tell you this is not professional grade stuff by any means. I have it contained in my 15x15 room, and used it because I didn't wish to have the wooden doors on my cabinet open when using the home theatre.
Last thing is that it is a little cheesy looking when viewing the AV equipment to stick the 'eye' piece on the audio equipment itself. A distributor hub, sort of the opposite of the receiver, would be much cleaner looking inside a cabinet.
But it does generally work, I can be outside the room where the equipment is located and control it.

It works great! Did exactly what I wanted it to. Disappointing that you must by this separate from your remote.Digital camera Review: Logitech Harmony RF Wireless Extender
Summary: 5 Stars
Good easy and quick setup. Having to update through usb is a slight pain since you have to unplug the AC power cord when you plug in the usb. My extender is installed in a media built-in which makes unplugging this unit from a power strip an inconvenience but not a big deal.
