Ok, you can’t tell if you’ll get the $99 price for the following until you get in the store, because it’s an unadvertised sale, and not all Best Buy stores are doing it. And it’s not available online.
But, if your store happens to have the harmony home hub with a remote on sale at that price, it’s definitely worth considering.
This is a very nice universal remote which has limited but useful integration with smartthings. Once you have it set up, you can use one button on the remote to control some of your audiovisual equipment plus some of your smartthings controlled devices. The most common use is for a “movie” activity where pressing the button, turns on The TV and dims the lights. But there are also four toggle buttons (only four) that let you toggle lights or other devices on and off from the TV remote.
If you have high expectations for this, you will be very disappointed. But if you have low expectations, like just the ability to turn a light or two on and off, or the ability to combine a light and the TV on one button, you may be pretty happy.
My housemate bought this a couple of weeks ago because he wanted a universal remote and it said smartthings integration on the box. I hoped that meant full smartthings integration so I could start controlling audiovisual devices through smartthings, but that is not currently available. But we do have the ability to have a couple of the TV remote buttons toggle some of the smartthings devices. And that’s what he wanted and we really like it as a universal remote anyway so for us that would be a really good way to spend a $100 Best Buy gift card.
On the other hand,if your Best Buy has it at the more typical price of $130, you might not want it. So just a thought. Also, the only model that this works with right now is the “Harmony home” not anything with “ultimate” in the name. So not the ones with the touchscreens.
