The Logitech Harmony Ultimate Hub means that you can control your home entertainment devices directly from your smartphone or tablet, all thanks to the Logitech Harmony app, the hub has 2 infra-red sensor built in along with a Bluetooth transmitter to allow control of a host of different devices, from TV's, DVD players, home theatre systems right through to games consoles & media streamers, the Logitech Harmony Hub can control them all.
Included in the box are a few IR repeaters for any devices that might be out of reach of the built in ones, however, these are not needed for normal operation. Once you have connected the hub to your Wi-Fi, the entire setup process can be completed on your smart phone.
This will also work in conjunction with the Harmony Touch remote control, so that you can use the device in closed cabinets. Being part of the Harmony system, one of the major benefits is the ability to set up Macros to turn on more than one device & more with the push of one button, for example you could push the Watch TV button, your TV, Sky Box & Home Cinema will turn on at the same time & get switched to the correct inputs. Simple as that!
