No stock anywhere in QLD it seems. Still available online and this price smashes the $218 from logitech shop.

  Or splash another $6 for the 650 with colour screen at $35. Also recommend the harmony One at $75, bought it for nearly double a few years back.

Good price I bought one last year for around $200, but remote is not practical
need 2 hands to operate, the touch screen is not responsive after using the smart phones using this really sucks
I recommend the Harmony one or any other remote.
Need a seprate adapter for PS3

Mine is just sitting gathering dust not practical to use but for the price it’s your call
- Beast on 02/08/2012 - 11:34 ¶

  fookos on 02/08/2012 - 12:50 ¶
  
  Agreed! I had a remote similar in design some years back and it was an absolute pain as you can't sit on the couch comfortably with it and operate it one-handed without looking at the screen etc.
  
  Go for best of both worlds and grab a Harmony One - sets up in minutes and gives you hard buttons and touch screen access for something fancy.

I love my old 525i. Had it for probably 5 years now and it's still going strong. I think I've only had to replace the batteries maybe 3 or 4 times since I got it.

Just out of interest, do these touch screen models do anything particularly unique over the general remote models? (other than the colour touch screen, of course)
- TheSly on 02/08/2012 - 11:58 ¶
  
  The main differences would be the customisable graphics on the touchscreen, and the ability to use RF, meaning you can control devices that are not in LOS.

    siuol on 02/08/2012 - 12:02 ¶
    
    Don't think RF is capable out of the box - you will need a RF adapter for that?
    - logitech on 16/08/2012 - 09:18 ¶
      
      The Harmony 900 is the only model in Australia that has RF & IR support
- Weshy on 02/08/2012 - 12:50 ¶
  
  From my experience, the touch screen interface is more cumbersome than the buttons on the side of the screen. The touchscreen provides no additional benefit.
  
  I speak from my experience with the Harmony 880, 785, 525, 900 (RF version of the One that has touch screen) and 700.
  
  All of them are still going strong. I've found their compatability with devices to be excellent.

    I concur with this, my father in law has this, and although he thinks it is the shiz… the touchscreen is soooo annoying to use… go the button models any day of the week.
    
    There is lag when using this model, you press the button and its like its frozen, then it snaps out of what its doing.
    - logitech on 16/08/2012 - 09:19 ¶
      
      Make sure you have the latest Firmware & Harmony software being used with your 1100, also check the delay settings in your profile which can also be changed.

eddomak on 02/08/2012 - 12:45 ¶

I used to have the 785, which is no longer made. Lasted 3 years but then something went wrong with charging and Logitech could neither repair nor replace it. Sob Sob. Since then there is now only a higher model and a lower model.

Been back to using 4-5 remotes at home for 4 months now and it's a pain. The one thing that is a bit inconvenient is that it will take 2 hands to operate, which is not for everyone…
- kombi17 on 02/08/2012 - 13:34 ¶
  
  Hey Eddomak, I had exactly the same problem with the same remote but I fixed it by buying a separate charger from ebay to replace the original docking station. So now, although it a slight inconvenience to take the battery out once a week to recharge it, I still have the 785 and it's still a great remote.
  - +1 vote
    
    eddomak on 02/08/2012 - 13:54 ¶
    
    Thanks - due to the malfunction the original charger puffed the original battery. I even disassembled everything and pushed the prongs up a bit, but all to no avail. Kept it all there unfunctional for 3 months, then finally moved it into the bin. T'was a sad day, but I am almost over it now. I am sure the 1100i will help. Hah! Anyway, if you have the alternate charger already, then perhaps buy another battery so you can alternate and swap with no downtime. :)
iratepirate on 02/08/2012 - 13:05 ¶

Got a PS3 receiver, as usual Dick staff were hoarding them out the back… first guy I asked said they only had the opened box one that was on display. Asked another guy who obviously hadn't been clued in on the bargain and he said they had six more out back.

Todes Angst on 02/08/2012 - 13:10 ¶

Harmony remotes are infra-red (IR) so any device with a IR remote can be controlled by a Harmony. The reason you need an adapter for the PS3 is because that uses Bluetooth for all connections.

Scratch2k on 02/08/2012 - 13:31 ¶

Agreed about the 1100i, you can't use it without looking at the screen which limits the usability somewhat. I have had a few models of Harmonies over the years and my favourite is still the old 500 XBOX version, but having said that I just grabbed a Harmony One as an upgrade, thanks for the lead :)

  Scratch2k on 03/08/2012 - 08:17 ¶
  
  Maybe, but smart phones suffer from the same usability problems as the 1100i, no tactile buttons means you need to look at the phone/remote screen to use them which, when you think about it, is a real shift in the way people use a remote control. Some may adapt but personally I prefer to just be able to pick up the remote and feel for the button I want without looking away from the screen.

  I think you have some reading to do. For a start, does your $12 remote learn commands from the original remote if needed? Can you create a string of commands to control several actions across multiple devices by one button press?

aurotaro on 02/08/2012 - 15:18 ¶

Great deal, though I wouldn't buy this one. I'd rather go the Harmony One at $74.50. Easier to use and requires only one hand.

After using touch screens on phones, you wouldn't like to use the 1100i's touch screen.

- PinzVidz on 02/08/2012 - 16:56 ¶
  
  Yes (XBMC on HTPC) but on a Harmony One. Need help?
  - windrc on 02/08/2012 - 18:29 ¶
    
    I've got a harmony 525, but I guess it's the same principle.
    Here's my setup: HTPC- HP N36L running Windows7 and XBMC.
    You will need a IR receiver for the PC, I got a HP MCE IR receiver off eBay for about $20.
    
    You will configure the remote using Logitech's software, which you would first tell it what devices you have, eg TV, AV receiver, htpc, game console etc, then you can create 'activies' such as 'watch movie's, 'play games' etc.
    For each activities the software will ask u what device is involved, and it'll work out what button controls what device.
    
    Once everything is configured, all you'll need to press is 1 button and it'll switch on (or off) the relevent devices, set them to the correct modes and ready to go.
    
    Some people have asked about compatibility issues, when you are setting up the devices you have with the software, it will look into a massive database online to search for a match. If it couldnt it, as long as you have that device's remote, youu can confiigure it manually by using the harmony remote to 'learn' the ir signals. So that means any Ir device should work, even you air con! (Eg. Switch AC on for horror movies)
    
    Personally I think the harmony one is just fine, as it gives u the tactile control
