Lets discover the Logitech Harmony Companion Remote

There was a time when universal remotes were popular and nearly everyone had them. There was nothing particularly wrong with them, but they fell out of style and, let’s be honest, most people lost them anyway. Plus, they were made relatively cheaply and after a while the novelty wore off and you stopped using it. For all of these reasons, you may be reluctant to get something along the same lines, but Logitech’s Harmony Remote is totally worth the money.

At just under $150, it’s really not a bad price when you consider what you get out of it. What makes this remote so awesome is how versatile it is and how many devices it works with. Whether it’s your smartphone or your home entertainment, it’s compatible with both androids and iPhones, something that can be unheard of these days when it seems everything is geared towards one or the other.

What also sets this remote apart is that it’s actually also compatible with AI’s like Amazon’s Alexa It also works with a wide variety of tech brands such as Sony and Lutron and you can even use it with your Apple TV.

While the entertainment aspect is fantastic, you can also use it to connect with everything in your home. Use it to dim the lights, turn on the heating, lock the door (if you have an electronic lock) and set alarm clocks with it. It’s truly remarkable.

You may be thinking this all sounds great, but what about a situation where you’re out and realize you want to record something on the TV. This remote can even solve that problem. You can, quite literally, remotely set the TV to record whatever you want using this remote regardless of where you are. You may be asking how this works because that makes no sense. The reason for this is the integrated and very user-friendly app that goes along with the remote. From this app you can do all of the same things you can with the physical remote, but you can do it when you’re on your way home from work.

While there are some great features with the new iPhone that connect a lot of similar things (like the new Apple Home feature), this remote is exceptional because you can use it with even more things, and at a much better price than a new iPhone. All you need is an iPhone 4s or later or an Android 4.2 or later.

You can even set it up with Windows or Mac. You’ll need Windows 7 or higher or OSX 10.6 or higher. For less than $150, it’s time to revolutionize the way you live and function in your own home. Make it easier on yourself, save time and never miss some of your favorite shows again. What could be better?
