Amazon has the Logitech Harmony Smart Control Remote + Hub for $70 again.
The hub can link to Smart Things, giving you the ability to have SmartThings turn on/off lights and do things when you do activities like “Watch a Movie”, which is pretty nice!
The original link does include the hub. From the product page: “Included Harmony Hub lets you control devices hidden behind cabinet doors or walls, including game consoles such as PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360.”
I believe that’s just for the remote?? It looks like the new hub and remote combinations are $122 and the refurbished remote and hub are $99.
EDIT: Just saw your response to RLDreams and see where the listing does include the words “Included Harmony Hub.” I suppose we need to wait to see what someone gets when they order.
If you really don’t trust Amazon, the BB link I posted above has a picture of the remote for your security, for the same price, available for store pickup, and $25 off $100.
Just picked this up from Best Buy. Have wanted one for a while but could never pull the trigger. Thanks for the heads up on the Visa checkout. I also wanted another Dot so I got both out the door for $91 and used my Best Buy Visa so get 5% in rewards back.
Thank you, just the answer I was looking for. Do you know if the ir blaster will work on other devices other than tv’s or stereo receivers.
What I am looking to do is use it on my Samsung robot vacuum that has a remote. I have the none wifi version. Also can I turn on my devices when I’m away from my home?
Just an update, I ordered this and have it hooked to Alexa . Working good so far. I didn’t get it hooked up to smartthings yet. Yes it is the hub and the basic remote.
Yes, I have my hub controlled through smartthings and I can turn on devices and activities using ST sending commands to the hub from anywhere. Pretty cool! Also, I believe some people are using the hub and it blasters to control LED light strings and fixtures which only accept IR remote inputs.
I got one from Best Buy last weekend. Still working through how to do a lot of things, but so far it’s cool. Can turn activities off and on like they are a switch in ST and linking to Alexa is easy. I can now change stations on my Sonos via Alexa, and can turn TVs on and off. Still working on changing TV stations via Alexa but I have kind of an odd setup for that. Great $70 purchase! I also ordered some IR LED lights for Christmas that I plan to use this for.
