Just wanna ask the home theatre sifus here.. currently I have the following controllers which are driving me crazy :-

1 x Astro HD
1 x Pioneer 920 AV amp
1 x TMnet Unify
1 x Philips Bluray DVD player
1 x Whafedale SW-250 subwoofer controller
1 x LG 42in Plasma controller

Is there anyway I can combine all these into 1 controller.. and how do I do it? Any recommendations? Thanks in advance!

hmmm perhaps u can buy Logitech Harmony remote

http://www.logitech.com/en-roeu/remotes/universal-remotes

it is programmable infinitely (theoretically)

rubber band?

I'm using Sony universal remotes....but it doesn't have a display and with 3 dozen button, not so friendly when in dark situations...
I wanted to get Logitech also, but thinking of my kids broke 2 philips universal remotes...i better wait for them to grow bigger before investing in an expensive remote.

One caution abt getting universal remotes...make sure its has learning functions and take note, most have limited memory space for leaned buttons. Always use a good quality brand battery for it....not those Ikea Batteries...leaky stuff. Is good to add some rubber stickers surrounding it cause Remote do tend to fall while handling. And put the remote in a safe place when you have a toddler around...cos the next thing you will find is your remote in a cup of water..can't blame the baby

wow u must be eager to buy one

around RM300....

Sorry... the LYN program a bit problematic with my profile...

the 525 is rm297 if you can find one, so I suppose 300 for the 880 is very reasonable

Harry Potter's Wand

Checked a few places including this weekend's IT fair at Midvalley. The best price I got is the HArmony 600 for RM249 at Sri Computer. Most of the shops are selling at RM299. The next step up is the Harmony 900 at RM999 at Compuzone. Decided to go for the entry level to test it out. I liked the full touch screen version but it goes for RM1.4k

Harmony 600 no colour screen?
Should have get 880.

where to get 880 with this kind of price?

import from USA

Harmony 880 i got it RM400 about 2 years ago, now should be cheaper.

too bad in KL there is only 1 model below RM1k.. thats the 600. The rest are selling 1k-1.5k.

Harmony One looks better and control up to 15 devices. Still can get below 1k online.

You can't find any 880?

checked all it, compuzone, viewnet and midvalley. They all carry the same models. Entry level 600 at RM249-299, next step up is the 900 and others which cost 1k-1.5k

You can try a computer shop in 1 utama. Some where between the new and old wing, same floor as Secret recipe if not mistaken.

Already bought the 600. Still learning now to fully use it.

does the 880 has a learning function?
planning to import it here!

Enjoy your new toy yeah.

Yes, 880 can learn other remote if you can't find in the database.

Seriously, I never though of buying a 1K remote....RM1K!! for a remote?

Or probably my salary not enough

even the 600 has learning function, the only difference is that it is a basic unit.. max can control 5 remotes and the screen is black and white.

azbro.. yes I find it too expensive to splurge RM1k+ for a remote also.. thats why got the normal basic unit. Was tempted for the full touch screen version though

Have to differentiate between 'remote control' and 'interligent home automation'
Spend 1k for remote not worth, but if it is an interligent home automation then different story already.

haha too bad u're not the salesman.. otherwise I would have gotten the 'home automation'. Currently I'm staying in rented unit, didn't want to spend so much on housing stuff until my own place is ready.

LOL, in fact i also feel like to install the motorise curtain then put it in my Harmony remote. But i also didn't do, coz too expensive for me too.
Maybe the next one i wanna do is the lighting

Any iPhone owner bought L5 Remote dongle? Looks fantastic for USD $50

cool stuff

looks good I may order 1 to try it out!

Why iphone need adapter to become remote? This is lousier than my old Atom life.

If you want to different from others, maybe you can consider this product:



Universal Remote Arrives Within A Pillow, Makes Channel Surfing Hip Again

Of course, if money is just a figure for you, you can learn from this guy...

Takeover Job Rids Client of 60 Useless Remotes

crazy figure .. can buy a decent house already with that kinda money.

just get a Logitech Harmony!!!

Yep, I agree, quite a hassle juggling multiple remotes, so go for the Harmony

Very interesting set up. but $260,000

TS already bought Harmony.

For this kinda price, it would be cheaper to buy and train an Octopus to handle all the remotes.

You: TV 1 on! Radio 2 off! All lights on!

Octopus: Bleep! Bleep! Bleep! Bleep!

where to buy logitech harmony in mmalaysia?

computer outlets. Find one in Kuching. Too expensive.

After reading this thread, I immediately get myself harmony 880 for usd77 inclusive international shipping.. That's is less than RM250. It's new but not in retail packaging.

Can't wait for it to arrive..

How much you pay for 600 and where you bought it? At Singapore now, only see 600, 700 and harmony 1.

Here got some Harmony model :

300 = RM129
600 = RM179
650 = RM199
ONE = RM725

Nice price

which website did you purchase it from? I'm doing some Christmas shopping from US now..this week also going to Sg for work so will check out the AV stuff there as well!

Ebay.. and using "buy it now", not bidding.. and mine is from China, not US.. maybe that explains why it's low.. but it's the same product..

Where to get 650 or ONE?
