This is in marked contrast to previous Harmony devices, which required you to plug the remote into a PC every time you wanted to change the settings. ![]() The latter is important, since it’s this unit that handles communication with other devices – for instance, those not controlled by infrared. Included in the box is the charging dock – the remote uses built-in rechargeable batteries – and the Harmony Hub. It’s a decent start, but there’s more to the Harmony Elite than the remote alone. A 2.4-inch touchscreen adds contextual information, such as shortcuts to channels with their logos, when watching TV. It’s weighted perfectly, the coarse plastic rear is pleasantly grippy, and the buttons have a defined click. Logitech is good at making things and the Harmony Elite is a reminder as to why.

Sure, it controls your TV and AV equipment like other universal remotes, but with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth it’s able to control other smart devices too. It’s a universal remote, but one for the smart-home generation. The Logitech Harmony Elite will do all that at the touch of a single button. You just want to curl up on the sofa, turn up the heating, dim the lights and relax with some Netflix or mood music.
