Does Logitech Harmony remotes respond fast?

by mrnoor

My Nvidia shield controller just died out of the blue and I need to buy a replacement. Logitechs Harmony remotes seem perfect since I can use them to control the TV and lights too. I'm just wondering if they work with WiFi/Bluetooth and respond fast without a delay.

I have the 1st Gen shield but maybe that doesn't matter.

Any other recommendations are welcome as long as I can get one in Sweden

Editor: UPDATE! I SWITCHED THE HDMI CABLES AND HDMI-CECC STSRTED WORKING!!! It's pretty shit but at least I can use the shield.

I'll either buy a rii i7 or i25 to just control the shield and save 100$.. poor student is poor

Something like these:

Home Hub

Id get a hub based remote. More future proof. They have IR, Bluetooth, and IR control.

Jumping on a thread here. Used Harmony for 1st gen Shield - worked like a charm. However, 2nd gen does not work with the remote. Anybody tried that connection?

Yeah, they're great. I swear by them. No delay in commands.

All the info on the remotes is at harmony.com

I'm using the Harmony hub + Remote via Bluetooth with zero delay. It just works. Never disconnects, no line of sight needed, why use anything else?

Have a Harmony touch myself. Works perfectly for one small thing...I can't quite get the double tap for multitasking working reliably..

I use a Rii i8+ keyboard mouse in one. It works decent and gives you keyboard and mouse in one little package. Battery last a long time as well. If you buy one I had to attach the adapter to get Bluetooth to work. Good little addition for only 20 bucks.

Smart Control remote with hub is only $63 through a Walmart reseller right now:

Not a bad deal, normally its like $130

The Harmony hub connects to the Shield using bluetooth so it will be just as responsive as the original remote.

I really like my Inteset 422-3 remote with my first gen Shield.

Fairly quickly in the shield with ir. Dunno about Bluetooth.
