Digital camera reviews of Logitech Harmony RF Wireless Extender
Digital camera Review: Needs hardware change
Summary: 3 Stars
Works well with both the Harmony 890 and 1000. Fairly easy to set up, though there are two HUGE drawbacks which Logitech should fix.
1. They have hard-wired the cable to the Extender so that you have to unplug the unit whenever you want to upgrade the settings - a royal pain when it's plugged in behind your components.
2. Even if you want to make a tiny change to the Harmony settings (e.g. changing a couple of icons) you have to update BOTH the Harmony and the Extender. This takes much longer and, because it's hard-wired, is very annoying.
Digital camera Review: No More Open Door
Summary: 5 Stars
I mentioned this device in relation to the review I did on the Harmony 1000. I have my stereo, Cable box and DVD player in a cabinet that is behind my chair, while the TV is over the fire place in front of me. Until now I had to leave the door open on the cabinet and try to reflect the light off the TV into the cabinet, which worked until the batteries got low. Now the door to the cabinet is closed and everything works perfectly. This is a solution that has made my wife very happy and definitly gives the room a spiffier look. If you have a problem similar to mine, this is the way to go. I whole heartedly recommend it.Digital camera Review: Not worth it
Summary: 2 Stars
So I got this with the Harmony 1100. I have a ps3 converter too. The lag between the remote->converter->extender->ps3 was so horrible I opted to use the ps3 converter only. The lag between the other components with the extender isnt as bad as the PS3, but they still are pretty bad. I'm read to disconnect the extender altogether and just rely on line of sight.
It wasn't too difficult to setup, but I would definitely not recommend. My advice would be ensure line of sight and don't waste your money.
Digital camera Review: Perfect, brilliant
Summary: 5 Stars
First thing I must point out is what the other reviewer said:
Even though the Harmony 1000 can control 15 devices, and this RF-IR is supposed to be an extension of the remote... and in fact physically is able to control however many devices that can be within IR-shot, however the useless logitech software only lets you select up to 8 of the devices in the list to be sent to the RF extender instead of the Harmony! but you could have 2 RF extenders. Note that the Logitech web site does not mention this limitation, and even says it can support all the devices that you can fit into the cupboard, so my advice is to complain to Logitech to either lift that restriction or send you a free additional RF extender to live up to their claim of 15 devices!
Digital camera Review: Poor Electronics
Summary: 1 Stars
The extender would not work in my home. The tech support rep suggested it was because we have wireless phones or because we have wireless internet router. The tech suggested we disconnect the phones and the router. That was not a viable option. We bought a simple system from the shack and it worked flawlessly.
