Hi,
I am trying to decide which Remote to buy MX-810 or Harmony One.
I had the MX-810 and traded up to the MX-980 for my Main Home Theater setup in the Family Room. I Love this Remote but this puppy is too expensive to buy 2 for the Bedroom. (Bought from an authorize dealer)
I have a second Home Theater setup in the Bedroom and I need two remotes for this setup. I do not need RF and considering street price on both of these remotes are in the low $200’s, price and RF are not a issue.
I have had many universal remotes in my lifetime including many JP1’s, One for All, Radio Shack, Phillips, Kamleon, Icon Remote and URC MX’s. I have never owned a Logitech.
Since I have used the MX-810 software I know its short comings.
Here are my Questions:
1. Since these are for the Bedroom I am a little concerned about the Harmony One’s Touch Screen. Will I have a problem with tactical feel vs. not having side keys.
2. Can the Harmony One do a real macro, the MX-810 has a limitation where you can only create a Macro by creating an activity, so can you build a Macro for a single key (hard or soft) in the Harmony One?
3. Can the Harmony One do macros with delays?
4. I have read that the MX-810 software is capable of more Customization, could anyone give me some a idea of what the Harmony One software limitations are?
5.Can the Harmony One automatically do a page jump and go to certain device page after i.e. powering on, or after selecting a device?
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Bedroom Setup:
1.TV- 40” Samsung LN-T4071F
