Logitech Harmony 680 Media Center PC Remote Control

Logitech Harmony 680 Media Center PC Remote Control

Strengths: This remote works as advertised and the price was right.

Weakness: Not as easy to set up as I had hoped, but still very easy. Had some initial problems controlling some of my older gear, but with a little tweaking, everything works fine.

I did all sorts of research on universal remotes and decided to go with the Logitech Harmony line. Then of course, the problem became which model to choose? At first, I assumed that the remote with highest model number was the newest or at least had the most features. Wrong. I found out the 680 is the most recent addition to the line. And the fact that the 680 has a one-touch control for “Media...

Logitech Harmony 680 Media Center PC Remote Control

Strengths: The H680 is by far the easiest remote setup I know of. The backligt feature on the buttons is also a plus. Controls everything with one touch button.

Weakness: None yet.

I have owned the Sony RM-AV2100 remote for 3 years now. I was in the market for a remote that controlled my media center PC, and this is what I found. The H680 is PC ready out of the box. But it also has a learning feature to program from other remotes controlling the entertainment center. The USB/internet connection was a breeze to set up all my equipment. You simply select/click your...

Logitech Harmony 680 Media Center PC Remote Control

Strengths: Programmable via the web. Excellent support. Button layout is very intuitive.

Weakness: Missing two color scheme from H659 which makes remote appear more cluttered. Light button does not glow very strong. Activity buttons are not labeled with words.

I purchased this remote since I already have a Harmony 659 and know that it is the BEST! I liked the way the buttons for play, fastforward, rewind, etc. were laid out on the 680 and the potential to use it with media center at some later date was a nice bonus. I have no real complaints with the remote. The feel is very similar to the 659 in weight and size is pretty well identical. When carefully...

Logitech Harmony 680 Media Center PC Remote Control

Strengths: User friendlyness - especially for technophobes

Weakness: Battery door fit/quality Too hard to chose between the different 6XX series harmony remotes

Unbeleivable remote. Once you se the 'activity' metaphore you can'r understand why all universal remotes don't work this way. technical support is out of this world. Not that you need to talk to them - the product works - well. But they helped me fine tune my system to the nth degree

Logitech Harmony 680 Media Center PC Remote Control

Strengths: Ease of use, Feature set, Multiple capabilities, Excellent software

Weakness: Uses 4 AAA batteries. Short battery life

Followed directions that came in the box, hooked up USB cable to my computer, logged on to Harmony website, and performed my update. All took less than one-hour. I've been back many times to tweak my settings. Overall wonderful experience.

Logitech Harmony 680 Media Center PC Remote Control

Strengths: Web setup, Simplicity, Layout

Weakness: No Macros

Great price and Great Product. The ability to setup on the web is the number one reason why I purchased this remote. Will update review after more use.

Logitech Harmony 680 Media Center PC Remote Control

Strengths: Easy setup. Extensive online database of home entertainment components, no programing necessary. Turns on entire entertainment center with one button.

Weakness: None to speak of. Occasionally components may not respond appropriately if signal gets blocked etc. but Harmony remote has a built in help function that fixes any such problems.

An excellent universal remote. The USB connector and web interface make setup simple. The online database had default settings for our entire entertainment center including game system and HD Tivo. Works great, one remote controls it all. Only one function in the database did not work on one component but the Harmony remote was able to learn it from the original remote without any problems

Logitech Harmony 680 Media Center PC Remote Control

Strengths: Wonderfully flexible and able to control just about anything that comes with a remote. (fans, lights, oh yeah and all your components as well.)

Weakness: FYI - Although this is a fantastically flexible remote able to control almost everything, you will need to spend at min 20-30min setting this up through the web interface.

So far so good. So far, I've been able to plug it in and run with it. Have not yet tried the tech support to tweak theis baby and based on past reviews, I'm actually looking forward to it.

Logitech Harmony 680 Media Center PC Remote Control

Strengths: one button ability to handle multiple components ease of set up durable buttons good layout

Weakness: Customization of individual functions for each component is a bit tricky.

Great Remote!!!! Does everything I needed at the press of a button. The size of the remote makes it very easy and comfortable to use. The buttons are durable and have good placement. Set-up was flawle

Logitech Harmony 680 Media Center PC Remote Control

Strengths: Highly customizable.

Weakness: Limitations in prioritizing order of device display.

Easy to setup initially. For complex installations, a considerable effort is required to design specific activities. Dependent on web application to configure and maintain. Ability to learn from obscure remotes and include them in activites a major plus.
