As 2012 winds to an end and we look forward to what 2013 has to offer, our thoughts go out to each and every person who has helped make Remote Central such a great community over the past year.

This includes our advertisers, without whom we would not even be here (be sure to support those that support RC!); our volunteer forum moderators who fight spam and maintain the peace each and every day; the great folks at ipHouse.com who keep our server up and always available; plus the custom installation and control community as a whole – everyone who takes the time to interact by sharing their knowledge, wit, files... or even just their two cents!

Please accept my heartfelt appreciation, and I wish you all the best for the coming year – which marks our fifteenth year on the net!

With the Black Friday weekend now over, we look to Cyber Monday for a few deals.

Over on Amazon.com, you can now get the Logitech Harmony One for $119.99 (better than on Friday), or the Harmony 650 for $45.99. The latest Harmony Touch is still under $225, and the TouchSquid 7" tablet remote is still on sale for $239.99.

BestBuy.com also has nearly identical deals: the Logitech Harmony One for $119.99, or the Harmony 650 for $45.99. Read more...

Happy Black Friday, everyone! So far I'm not seeing a huge number of remote control deals online... however, here's a few to consider:

Amazon.com has a Lightning Deal on the URC R6 remote control coming up at 5:29 AM PST - that's 8:29 AM EST. Currently it's $13.84, and on the deal it will be... less. You can find the countdown link on this page. If you want something with a little more kick that's not a Harmony, try the latest URC R40 for $113.18.

Amazon also has the Logitech Harmony One for $131.50 (better than last year's sale), and the latest Harmony Touch model for under $225. You can also find the new TouchSquid 7" universal remote tablet for $239.99, which is a fair bit better than the normal price of $299.99.

At RadioShack.com: the Logitech Harmony 600 for $29.99.

At BestBuy.com: the Logitech Harmony 650 for $39.99. Read more...

Happy Friday, everyone!

Today I’m looking to buy a Memorex CP8 Turbo universal remote control, which came out in the early 1990s. There are a few specific requirements, but there’s also a worthwhile cash reward!

If you have one of these and are willing to sell it, please contact me for further details. Read more...

Control4 has announced that their 7" In-Wall Touch Screen with Camera, which features a capacitive touchscreen and a built-in video camera, is now shipping. Also available is the Control4 Door Station for a complete intercom system. Read more...
