Can you transfer info from one harmony remote to another when replacing? I'm upgrading from a Harmony 550 to the 890, and was wondering if I could save all my info and simply transfer over...does anyone know if this is possible? I have a tv, cable box, receiver, ps3 (w/adaptor), dvd and vcr and would hate to have to go through the initial setup again if it's not needed...any help would be appreciated! thanks!

Just use you Logitech software that you used to program your first 890. plug in the new one and copy over settings....

Yes, it's very easy. I transferred from my 676 to the 890 with no trouble at all.

I know you can transfer from an 890 to an 890 but I'm not sure if the same goes for 550 to 890. Basically I used the software that held all my Activities and Sequences and added attached the new 890 and all was good.

It can go up to 8. You MUST use the myharmony software to log in. The older version 7 logitech harmony software still only goes up to five. Download the newer myharmony software and you can transfer your old setting after logging in. It has nothing to do with the age of your remote. Just the software you use to program it with. Soi it is 100% capable of 8 devices.

If this has the same receiver as this hand held devise, your good to go. I bought another, just the remote by itself, just to have an extra remote and it works fine. You have to pair the new remote thats all.

Should still work fine. In my case, the directions the directions actually tell you that you will have to reprogram your previous remotes after programming the new one (I missed that and was perplexed until I re-read the instructions). So if your starting from scratch I think actually better off.

Yes, you just have to sync them with the new unit. It's pretty straightforward.

I matched this model exactly with the one I was replacing so I couldn't speak to a different chain/rail. I do know that this one worked beautifully as a swap for the old one. The only thing I had to do was unhook the lead wires, attach the new one in the same bolt slots as my old unit (including the same rail and chain as the old unit) and turn it on. After reprogramming the existing wall and wireless controllers it worked good as new. I didn't have to change out sensors, chain, rail, wall units, wiring or remotes. I could have even used the same bolts to attach the new unit. It has been working great for two weeks now & I don't anticipate any problems.

Thanks, M. Squires - much appreciated. I expect that I'll be using a Harmony remote, but presumably that just replicates the TV remote's own signal. If you find definitively that this either does or doesn't work, I'd love to know.

The Harmony one works great with my Comcast HD/DVR box.Yes, it does control the,DVR and on Demand or any other funtion of the Cable Box buttons. Just make sure you put in the make and modle # of your device. You can also program custom buttons, add channel icons and other things to it. As other posters have noted it takes a little time but once you do it, it is easy. I 've had other universal remotes in the past, none have worked as well as the Harmony brand ( 659,670) especially the Harmony One. It's great!

I have an (old) harmony 720, hopefully the same holds for this one... You can add multiple different TVs to the device. Just put each TV in a different "activity". e.g. I have activities like "Watch TV (Fam Rm)", "Watch TV (Study)", "Watch TV (BR)". Selecting a device for just one activity turns on the devices for just that activity. If I recall, I had the option of choosing whether to turn off the unused devices. Mine is programmed with 3 different TVs, 3 different DVD players, 3 different VCRs, Cable box, audio receiver. So, I can use it to control every device in my house with activities for each room (mix of devices).

Since the unit comes with a new remote why does it matter what the old remote says?

Maybe not but match the tabs in the new remote to the tabs in the old remote and try it. Some work and some don't.

I bought a Harmony One remote along with the wireless PS3 adapter that controls PS3 . I now can turn everything on an off with the Harmony remote.The wireless PS3 adapter works with all harmony remotes. The Harmony One controls 15 apps so plenty for future upgrades, the only thing it's expensive, but for me the frustration of using multiple remotes for my Yamaha receiver, PS3 games as well as Blue Ray and Vizio TV all on a color back lit screen is money well spent in my eyes, and I can customize the remote to make it do what I want.

The unit linked to appears to be new. I purchased a refurb that proved not to work, and on the second go-round purchased new. The improvement over my old unit (Harmony 800--I think) was stunning. Nearly all of the things on the old unit that drove me b@tSh#t had been fixed. It really is a sweet unit.

Works fine for me but I haven't used the harmony one. Last one I had was 880.

yes and no. this machine is kind of hard to work with whenever there is any type of transferring involved. if you can play the tracks one at a time while this records it, then yes, since you will have the same tracks, just moved into the other recording system (think multitrack re-recording). I've tried that before and it works perfectly fine as long as (1) you can perfectly sync the start times of all of the tracks as you re-record them (that should be as easy as hitting play on one and record on the other simultaneously), and (2) you don't accidentally add a lot of hum or noise to the tracks by re-recording them. you may not notice the noise when you try just one track, but with eight tracks, that means that any noise entering the tracks between the two recorders will be multiplied by 8. so, in short, yes you can transfer tracks from the old unit to the new one as long as you make sure that all of the tracks start at the same time, you don't accidentally add loads of noise, and you aren't in a hurry ('cause it's going to take a little while to transfer all those tracks over). does that help?

I think you can check the Logitech database here: logitech.com/harmony/components I have two Harmony remotes and really like them. Best lineup of universal remotes on the market. I have had others, but they always end up omitting functions. The Harmony method of configuring the remotes using the internet is far superior to the numerical codes. I would not buy any universal remote other than Harmony.

I googled it. Here's the answer. http://blog.logitech.com/2010/05/18/harmony-tips-and-tricks-creating-a-sequence-of-commands-on-a-harmony-remote/Update: Apparently this cannot be done for the Harmony 300, Harmony 900, and Harmony 1100. :-(My apologies. :-)
