Serpeant Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Just let you know that Harmony 525s are available from Wireless1 @ Parramatta Westfield for $58.I picked up a 785 for $129 Everywhere here in South Australia has the 525's for around $97. Wonder who's going to do a deal on them soon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy Downawell Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 Everywhere here in South Australia has the 525's for around $97.Wonder who's going to do a deal on them soon? Dickies have had them at $88 and $77 at times. Not sure why they have hiked the price back to $97 now tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

50mxe20 Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Resurrecting an old thread. I just bought a Denon ipod dock for my daughter to put on here Denon 3805. I pluged the inputs in the Denon CD inputs. (I don't believe there is an iPod input?). Seems to work fine but I'd like to programme the 880 to handle it. I had a quick look at loading in the dock into the Harmony 880 and it accepted it fine but then it starts talking about 'learning' from the ipod dock remote to input all the ipod commands. Problem is that there is no remote for the ipod dock? Anyone got any ideas on how I should proceed? Do I just point the 880 at the base of the dock and try that (or is that ridiculous)? Also Can I programme Foxtel into this remote as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The denon ipod dock set it up as a device then add new activity, choosing manual and utility with no remote . That way you can add only what you need. I'm only going from memory as I'm not home to check this, but I had heaps of drama with atv, although working good now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrQuade Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 The Denon iPod dock that I bought has a dedicated serial connection that goes into my 2809 so that the normal Denon remote can control the Dock. I am not sure that there is anything you can do with the Harmony to control the Dock unless you have that connection to the Receiver (unless you have a swanky new style dock with its own IR sensor).

Quark Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Is putting IQ2 enough or do you need more than that? The IQ2 is a Pace product - try Pace PVR model TDS850NF or TDS851NF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrQuade Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 Remember it's a 3805! Sorry, I wasn't clear. My 2809 has the iPod connector and the 3805 does not (I actually have my old 3805 boxed up and unloved now ). So hopefully the dock he bought has another control method, or else he is stuck having to manually control the iPod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So hopefully the dock he bought has another control method, or else he is stuck having to manually control the iPod. LOL That was my point. I read on the Logitech site that one can doing the learning remote thing by pointing it at the base of the dock. Yet to be tried. The IQ2 is a Pace product - try Pace PVR model TDS850NF or TDS851NF. I had a look last night and all I could see written on the front was IQ2. Daughter was running to get out the door so I could not ask for a manual or the box or have time to pull it out of the cabinet and see if it was written on the back. Thanks for the tip though.

Administrator Marc Posted February 2, 2021 Administrator Share Posted February 2, 2021 I found a heap of old Harmony remote threads, merged them, and pinned it as a Users Thread. I'm sure it will come in handy for all the Harmony fans out there (myself included). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emesbee Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 That sucks. I have two Harmony remotes. They will keep on working of course, but it will be damn annoying if I'm not able to add or change the devices they control any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jventer Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Now I wonder what will happen? Existing stock - prices going up or down? Used stock - prices going up or down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BugPowderDust Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 That would be rubbish. No one has properly stepped into the void to replace their products with like for like. The only one close got sold to Control4 so you now need to bite off that price model to play. The Logitech Ultimate is an awesome learning remote and the hub functionality really approaches what a real home automation solution can offer. I might need to just buy one and put it in the cupboard in case the dog eats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Marc Posted March 5, 2021 Administrator Share Posted March 5, 2021 The concern with the higher end Harmony remotes is they are all cloud based. It's a worry that those services might not continue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got the Control4 Neeo quoted up to do what my Logitech Ultimate does a while back and there wasn't much spare change out of $3k. Not much of a feasible upgrade path like that.

Tone Malone Posted March 5, 2021 Share Posted March 5, 2021 Bugger bugger bugger ... only last weekend I decided a Logitech Harmony Elite remote was my best chance to make our TV/stereo system more family friendly. Then as I scanned retailers online I found there was no stock to be found (excluding those websites we all know that say they have stock when they almost certainly don't). Seems the most user friendly options keep being superseded by ones that are more advanced "technically" but less fun to use. Some discontinuations, which breathed new life into older components, are a downright cynical money grab (I'm looking at you Google, bring back the Chromecast Audio!). Not happy Jan.
