![]() ![]() Both the dock and the Remote Two need to connect to your wireless network. The Remote Two comes with a dock/charging station. Thankfully, I found the learning function to be much easier than with Logitech. This means you may have to learn a bunch of keys manually. When you need to add a TV, AV receiver, disc player etc., you will only have a bare-bones generic set of IR commands per brand to work with. Unfolded Circle do not have a product database like Logitech. Whilst it is a beautifully designed product, it does have some big differences when compared to Logitech that could be seen as major hurdles. I ordered one and it shipped within a few weeks, arriving just before xmas. Yio remote has been re-branded to Unfolded Circle, and they now have their Remote Two available for shipping to Australia. Whether any are durable or there is a particular material that is… it could reduce one more item of e-waste. Another suggests superglue to attach a small foil patch. Applying a layer of conductive electrical paint to the affected keys might be one. I’ve noted on the web several hot tips on how to restore the conductive layer on the membrane, but not attempted any. In theory replacement membranes should be readily available for a few dollars. It’s evident from the grunge on some of the grid there is wear in the membrane conductive layer. I’ve done this with alcohol wipes successfully. There are many online guides to disassembling a remote, cleaning the contact surface and carefully the membrane. The current conducted indicates a key press. When depressed it contacts a PCB surface grid. The rear of the membrane is coated with a conductive layer. The remotes typically use a rubberised flexible membrane for the buttons. Off, 7, and 9 buttons that need to be pressed very hard to make work. If you are an Harmony owner, I’d love to hear your thoughts ! Whilst there was a considerable amount of Linux community work done several years ago to provide unofficial software for Linux, the available software packages do not provide the full range of configurability options that are found in the MyHarmony app. There are also smartphone apps, but these are only compatible with some of the more recent Harmony models. Note that if you want to define or change buttons that appear on the screen of your Harmony, you need to use the Windows application, as Harmony Desktop doesn’t support such changes. Harmony Desktop for MacOS, and MyHarmony for Windows. Logitech still provide access to the database via their software which is still available for download: I currently have two Harmony Ones ( one that I bought and one that I inherited from my parents ) and a Harmony Touch ( that was retired from use in the CHOICE TV Lab ).Īs existing owners would know, the primary benefits of the Harmony remotes are the comprehensive database of supported devices, and the ability to define activities to control the integration of multiple devices. I am a long term user of Harmony remotes. Logitech has discontinued the Harmony range, but will continue to update their database of supported devices ( for now at least ). Universal remote controls have become a niche product area and as such, CHOICE no longer conducts tests of them. But as the text above says, it's only for the listed models that do not use a hub.I’ve created this topic in the hope that it may be of assistance to those who have a Harmony remote control, and want to continue using it, or are looking for another product as a replacement. This will download 64 bit software for a Harmony controller. A popup will appear with a DOWNLOAD HARMONY button. ![]() Click on the image at the lower right (Using Harmony without a hub?). The link in the previous paragraph takes you here. Harmony Desktop will only support remotes that do not have a hub including Harmony 200, 300, 350, 650, 665, Touch, Ultimate One, and 950. If you have a remote that doesn't use a hub on MyHarmony, our new 64-bit app for Catalina, Harmony Desktop, is available for download. Took a while to dig up a page where they mention support for Catalina. For more information, see Apple's announcement regarding their transition to 64-bit technology. With the release of macOS 10.15 Catalina, 32-bit apps such as MyHarmony will no longer launch and instead display an error message. If you have a remote that doesn't use a hub, you many download the latest software using the links provided on this page. You can also continue to use MyHarmony on a computer running Windows or macOS 10.14 or lower. If you’re using a hub-based remote, you will need to use the Harmony App on your iOS or Android device. I just checked Logitech's page and this is their current support:Īs of macOS 10.15 Catalina, 32-bit software such as MyHarmony and Logitech Harmony Remote Software will no longer run and will require an update for it to work. ![]()
