    That the new wifi one?
    I got one - think it's the one with the basic remote. It works fine, haven't used the remote yet, just the Android and IPad apps.
    Any questions in particular?

    Ah cool!
    Yeah I was going to ask if its worth getting just the base and use a tablet.
    But you kinda answered that!

    Hows the software?
    I've had a harmony 885 since 2006 but I have upc horizon now and some philips lamps.
    Where abouts do you put the hub its self (i'd be using some IR functions)
    and one more!
    My Panasonic TV and Onkyo amp are both on my network.They have there own apps.
    Can the software control these via wifi and not use IR at all?

    Thanks

    Yeah you have the right idea. I think the more expensive package controls the Philips lighting and you are limited to 8 devices on my model.

    I have it pointed randomly into the room and it controls the projector amp and oppo at one end and the TV stb and ps3 nearby though out of direct sight.

    I had to go through the harmony website to set it up for wifi as it (obviously) couldn't connect due to wpa, but otherwise I haven't had any issues with software - just used the device's interface or the harmony website.

    I did have to configure the oppo on the Web rather than locally but it works fine.

    The delays take a bit of messing about with - my TV takes up to 30s before accepting channel changes which is a pita but nothing to do with the remote.

    So the networked devices can operate over the wifi.
    Definitely looks like a good job.

    270e for the top model or 130e for the basic,big price difference.

    I think you can upgrade and buy the touch remote as a stand alone.
    I think I'll consider this.

    Am I correct in saying the remote to the hub is all done via IR?
    And obviously the phone/tablet link over wifi.
    And the hub outputs IR,RF and Wifi control.

    The delays were always tricky with the harmonys.When I got my 885 in 2006 the software was shocking.
    Took me weeks to get it working but they seem to have that sorted.
