Setup was easier then using the archaic windows app like the 650 and I like that the remote is RF, so you no longer need to keep the remote pointed at your equipment while it powers everything on or off

I recently cut cable so my setup looks like

Setup is a bit painful, as it all has to be done inside a smartphone app.

Setup was fairly easy

What they created is the opposite: a fantastic physical remote with a convenient setup app, with needlessly complex "virtual" remote functions

Unlike others who have had issue with the setup, I found the setup and deployment to be very easy and simple to follow.

Setup was not too bad.

Setup was easier than expected

Long story short, re-configuring a complex setup using the Harmony app on my Nexus 5x was a breeze compared to having to attached my old Harmony via USB to a PC, re-configuring on a web page, and then downloading back to the old Harmony

FYI, the setup may be a bit more cumbersome for those who have never used Harmony devices.

Horrible setup process along with a terrible app from Logitech, as setting up devices takes way too long

Two complaints: no backlight on the buttons is a bigger deal than I expected, and setup is really too difficult.

Setup seemed easy enough

Once configured, this is a great setup.

Easy setup, simple when I switched to a different receiver

We love this remote setup.

Setup was painless and it just works.

It gets what I need done, but there's a LOT of wrestling to get it to behave how I want, and there is a lot of frustrating setup

* Easy setup from my existing harmony devices (remotes

Easy setup

The device has promise but it's crippled by its astoundingly terrible setup app

Setup was a breeze, and everything has worked without a hitch.

I thought the setup was easy.

Setup had some annoyances like having to specify a Yamaha HTR-5960 receiver to get it to work with my HTR-5860

I was able to port all of the activities I had set up on my old Harmony 550 to this remote so setup was incredibly easy.

Setup wasn't that difficult but was lengthy.

This setup works great through Amazon Echo and okay through Google home with ITTF.

Some devices when setup, lacked proper setup (AppleTV left button for example), so customized button programming was required in certain cases

My setup is not conventional buy the remote still works awesome:Panasonic TV, Windows Media Center, Vizio Soundbar, FireTV stick and 3 Sonos speakersThe setup did take about a day to get through all the tweaks, delays, favorites and starting sequences down - but once finished everything works flawlessly

Setup is way easier on a computer than with all though

Setup using a computer failed

Setup is pretty easy

The setup was easy and the remote works great.

Once setup and configured like I want it, it works beautifully!

Had a small learning curve to make sure the inputs are configured correctly with my Vizio TV, and had to change some remote button settings for my Apple TV Activity, but otherwise extremely impressed how Logitech already had all the settings for every component I have (Apple TV, Receiver, Blu-ray player, and Wii) so that the setup was otherwise hassle-free.

Great product and easy setup!UPDATE - 1/1/2018Remote no longer working

This remote has simplified my living room setup!

Setup is very slow, and requires a cloud account to store/sync data

Easy setup and use

Setup would likely be a pain in the ass for most people but once its set up its very useful

Setup was very cumbersome

Don't buy this if you're expecting to use your phone as the main remote or if you think the setup will be easy.

I'll need time to determine just how reliable this setup is, but for now I'm really liking it.

The Harmony setup interface can be a little obtuse, and slow (the app is built on MS Silverlight and seems like it needs updated every time you launch it

Once I got everything setup and working I began exploring other systems I would be less likely to use the remote for

In addition, if you replaced the computer where the logitech program was installed, you lost your configuration and had to start overThe Smart Remote setup was very simple and uses an app on your phone to configure (I'm using the iOS version) over your home wireless network.

Terrible app-based phone setup.

Setup isn't as bad as some reviews make it out to be.1

Initial setup is great but to use product effectively requires some tech savy skills, not genius skills, but clearly not plug and play.

Setup wasn't great.

When you buy a Harmony remote you are buying a huge database of components that will work with your remote and the coolest online setup that is very simple.

Setup was a breeze, teaching the hub new commands is easy and the included "eye" covers the only device the hub is unable to "see"

Setup was fairly easy, except for the fact that I did not actually finish the setup process on my phone, which created some problems for me

Easy setup - only took a few minutes and we have it working on two iPhones

The initial setup was a bit clunky.

Setup was very easy on a computer.

Setup was quite easy considering the plethora of devices we had to add.

The setup was straightforward and although not as simple as other devices, I had no problems setting this up on the first attempt.

Lengthy setup when you include an AV receiver

Setup was a breeze and allowed me to migrate my existing configuration over to the new remote.

Google Home took an extra step or two to get it working properly, but overall setup wasn't too tedious

This was a very tedious setup process that took about an hour.

While setup could be a bit easier this ability to save my own parameters from the remote to the cloud is really great.

Works perfect, quick and easy setup through the phone app

Setup was easy using the app on the phone.

Trying to get this setup was an absolute nightmare

Cons:- Cheap feeling remote with firm, clicky buttons.- Tiny buttons on the remote.- Macro programming could use a bit of finesse.- No direct app access on the Fire TV.Even with the poorly designed remote, this is a very powerful setup

I can't recommend this for the more technophobic people due to the unusually slow and unintuitive setup

An important thing to mention is that the more devices you have and how they work together will largely affect how complex the setup ends up being, as well as if you are tech savvy or not

The setup of these systems is pretty intense and they also have a sharp learning curve

The activities function is incredible, completely simplifying by significantly complex setup into a thing of beauty and elegance and yet even in doing so has managed to maintain all of the features and ability to make little adjustments

The setup on this was soooo frustrating that it was beyond ridiculous.

Turned out that during the easy setup steps I configured the Smart Control as a wired system

Easy to use remoteControls everything I have from Bluetooth, to wireless, to IR.remote is sleek, stylish, economicalThe IR in the hub is strong as long as its placed wellThe bad:Setup was terrible when it came to BluetoothDocumentation

Setup was a breeze

easy setup works great so far

easy setup works great so far

Setup was buggy as heck on iPhone

This was with modern and fairly standard A/V setup (Vizio TV and Soundbar, Apple TV, Cable\DVR box, and Wii U)

Setup was decently easy with the Android App with easy to follow, step by step, instructions.

I'm glad so many people like this product but, for me, the setup was torturous and the system did not live up to the hype

Perfect!Like others have said, however, the initial setup was a beast

Works great and setup was easy.

Support guy told me the correct setup instructions and finally got the app to control the receiver and time warner cable

all of my devices seamlessly(PS3, Wii U, TiVo, and TV).The only negative I have found yet is that setup can be difficult if you do not know what you are doing, but it can be figured out with some time

Looks great, works really good but you must read the manual and understand the activity concept or else the setup will be very difficult and frustrating.

That being said, setup was completely painless.

Setup was easy using the app

Summary: If you just take your time with it and actually read the screen, setup is not difficult at all.

Setup was a breeze.

Once setup I was able to customize buttons to my preferences, and everything just worked

Setup is decent

Setup was easier than previous harmony remotes

It takes a little while to get setup, but once you get it dialed in it's a GREAT setup for a smart"er" home.

Complex and time consuming setup and totally unintuitive operation

Getting started was straightforward with a great 'Setup Wizard' that walked me through everything from connecting to my Wi-Fi, selecting my components, and creating an "Activity", which with one press will get everything started to where I need for watching Sport.

Setup wasn't bad

I know, I know, #firstworldproblems, but for all the trouble I had with an east coast cable provider that rhymes with "Shomcast," at least their DVR/remote setup was logical

Other than this minor inconvenience, we love the setup.

Trying to do something as relatively straightforward as a device setup requires specific model numbers, or the install bombs out.

Setup is painfully slow with constant syncing waiting and surprisingly limited.

Great purchase for anyone looking for a universal remote that has easy setup, needs to control multiple devices and doesn't give you any minor issues on a regular basis.

Pleasantly surprised with how easy the setup was

Once setup, it works great

One more note:The setup isn't too bad if you are into tech gadgets but would not recommend a non techie try to set this up on their own.

In my case, I made a choice not to transfer my setup from the Harmony One because I wanted to do a clean setup

The setup was actually surprisingly easy

I thought that the setup would be a pain, but the app made it really easy

Works well with an unbelievably easy setup.

I will say that it helps to have prior harmony remote experience in setting these devices up, in terms of how long it takes, but it seems like any average joe could figure out the setup

The setup was very easy because I was upgrading from a 650, so it was a simple import.

Setup of the hardware was pretty painless...plugged the IR extension and power cable into the hub, placed the hub and extension on the stand in front of my equipment, and entered the info on the app (which you have to download from your app store).

Once I did that, the setup went pretty well.

I would be lying if I said that setup was a breeze.

Setup was easy and intuitive via the app.

Easy setup, works great, no backlight.

Easy setup, works great, no backlight.

Setup is not too bad

Very Very happy, setup is a breeze with the app, just type in the model of the component and it's done

Advanced initial setup can be a bit problem for non techie.

Without my assistance the setup may have been difficult for her, but if you're slightly tech savvy you should be able to troubleshoot any issues with a little research.

Fun & easy setup with any (modern) smartphone or computer

Setup was pretty easy and the remote worked pretty well

Setup was pretty easy, the hub is wireless too.

Simple setup and programming the activities via the app was a breeze.

Setup was extremely easy even with my projector which I thought might be tricky.

The setup can be easy or intricate.

Pros:- Simple setup

Setup can be complex but the product has a lot of potential if you can get your configuration planned out and tested.

As with all of their remotes, setup is easy

Easy computer setup

What a nightmarish setup that was

No more putting the Roku and Comcast box where they will be visible by their or my former Harmony 650 remote - cleaner setup

Setup was easier than ever.

Setup was easier than with the Harmony One.

Easy setup and works perfectly.

I can see how this would be a really slick setup if it worked.

Setup will be lengthy

The setup is quite good, though you will need to pay attention to more detail than you wanted to to make it run perfectly.

Setup is easy if a little confusing.

The only negative for me was the setup

but I have a little more complex setup than the average

Initial setup was a breeze

One friend ditched the VERY expensive Crestron setup he had in favor of this remote, and hasn't looked back since.

I am technically adept and the setup was still tricky.

Love this setup

Not the easiest or most straightforward setup, but you get 90 days of free customer/tech support from Logitech when you buy it.

I would highly recommend this for anybody but keep in mind the initial setup is no fun at all.

Very easy setup once you get used to it.

Setup was a BREEZE once I got the hang of it: plug the hub into a computer, go online, identify your devices and which ones you want to work together, and bang -- all done.(4

Setup was fairly easy and the phone app makes it nice

Difficult setup as others have stated

Setup is hardly straightforward.

Returned it after a frustrated setup that failed

Setup was easy

Setup was incredibly easy.

The initial setup was pretty painless (other than the 2.4G versus 5G issue already mentioned) and it was done in less than an hour.

The setup was super easy for me since I already have a harmony

I have had harmony 1000 and 1100 remotes, both of which stopped working after about a year and the initial setup was a pain on my PC and took hours

The PC app in my opinion will result in faster setup as it is easier to configure everything with a keyboard and mouse.

The setup is somewhat complex but if you're familiar with the Harmony line, this will be no surprise to you.

The reason I don't give this 5 stars though, is that setup was a real pain

Setup using the app failed

but this remote setup is just an annoying waste of my time.

Setup can definitely be a bit complex - even for an experienced Harmony user - but tweaks can be made easily with the iOS app until things work the way you want them to.

Setup was fairly easy but as others have mentioned, it just doesn't work.

Setup was easy via my android phone.

Setup is easy if a little confusing.

But setup was a nightmare, and even just getting it to work on a daily basis doesn't happen

Setup is very easy and its great that it communicates with WiFi (and Blu tooth for setup)

It pairs nicely with my FireTV, however the setup was confusing to me

Easy setup does everything I expected overall great universal remote.

Setup is a pain in the neck

This setup works beautifully

Setup took 30 min tops

And once I found another, on-line post explaining the bluetooth paring "bootstrap" procedure to do the setup, setup was a breeze

Setup is complex, but fairly intuitive as long as you don't mind some trial and error

Easy setup since I could import my old settings

very difficult setup

I really enjoy this setup over Logitech's previous generation of Harmony remotes.

Setup was a breeze and you don't have to pair anything using Bluetooth or worry about changing batteries, since the Smart Control is always on

The setup was easy, and since it works over wifi it works consistently.

The setup was easy, and since it works over wifi it works consistently.

Advanced initial setup can be a bit problem for non techie.

Setup is very easy on the internet and some quick corrections got everything going

Flat out, setup would not work with just using my iPhone 4s or 5s

Setup was fast and very easy, especially if you previously had another harmony remote control because it can copy over all the device information from that one automatically, so you don't have to go lookup your equipment's specific model numbers again

Setup was incredibly easy since I already owned a Harmony 650

App works great, Simple Remote is better than OEM remote that came with TV, and setup is straightforward

Setup was easy and non-complicated and it just works.

(this applied the changes to the hub & remote) -- you hit sync and it tells you to then sync from your phone -- on the phone go to Harmony setup (top left menu button) then choose sync

After receiving an adapter (3.5mm from Control4 to 2.5mm for the Logitech hub), reaching the optimal setup was a slam dunk.

n’t recommend it

n’t find that skill, backup one huge step.

n’t scroll right or left, but instead press a corresponding number such as #3 for HDMI 3 or #6 for Component cable input

n’t work sir Samsung

Every single other device in that room connects fine without issue (including a Vizio Smart TV, Roku Ultra, PS4, Wii U, Nintendo Switch, Steam Link, Amazon Alexa, and a TP-Link Smart Bulb), but when the Harmony Hub is directly connected to my router, it is unable to hold a stable connection, constantly either dropping inputs or requiring a power cycle to reconnect to the WiFi
