The $300 I spent on a Logitech Harmony remote was worth every...damned...penny. Maybe your spouse/SO doesn't come to you because they can't figure out which combination of three remotes it takes to watch Netflix or play a game. Mine used to. And frankly, there's no reason she should have to do either one: come to me or figure out the incantation.

I can figure it out, but I don't think I should have to, either. Nor should I have to keep four remotes lying around. I push "watch TV" and it casts the spell to use the Apple TV. "Play Xbox", and it switches everything around without fiddling.

Gestures? Color me really, really skeptical that this will improve upon what I've got now.



WOW. The Harmony One has doubled in price since I bought my (two) in late 2010 for $159.99.

Now that I've moved houses I've got a spare one in the basement. I guess it's time to craigslist that bad boy.
