Got the Logitech Harmony 300 for SGD$49 from Comex 2011 last week. For those who are unaware, the Logitech Harmony 300 is a universal remote control that allows you to control up to 4 devices such as your Television, Cable Box, Xbox 360 and Media Player.

I wanted to get the Logitech Harmony 200 instead but while I was passing by the Ban Leong booth, I saw the Harmony 300 going for just SGD$49, the usual retail price is SGD$69. It is SGD$20 cheaper than the RRP and only SGD$10 more expensive than the Harmony 200. I will regret it if I don’t get it at that price!

Connected To The Computer

Configuring the remote is extremely easy! The only down side is, you need to be using IE as the web application is powered by Microsoft Silverlight.

• Go to myharmony.com
• Register an account
• Download and install the software
• Launch myharmony.com again and click “Set up my Harmony remote”

The web app UI is extremely friendly, intuitive and responsive. Adding your device to the remote control is easy as well as Logitech boost a database of about 5,000+ devices, so all you need is just to get the brand and model number for your device. I have more screenshots in the Flickr gallery embedded below.

SINGAPORE – Aug 16, 2011 — Whether you are replacing a lost or broken remote or just want a remote that is easier to use and works with the devices you have, Logitech (SIX: LOGN) (NASDAQ: LOGI) today announced the new Logitech Harmony 200 Remote, which brings the excellence of its award-winning Harmony remotes to people with simpler home entertainment systems.

“Three remotes just to watch TV – that’s a reality for many people, but it doesn’t have to be,” said Prasenjit Sarkar, Director of South East Asia, Logitech. “We believe that no one should have to deal with the headache of multiple remotes and the clutter and confusion they can cause. The new Harmony 200 remote can replace up to three remotes after you complete a brief online setup. And once you’re set up, you’re ready to enjoy your favorite shows and movies with just one click. Getting to your favorite shows has never been easier.”

Thanks to the Harmony online setup, you simply create and account, enter the devices you have and then connect your remote to a computer – we do the rest for you. And because Harmony remotes support more than 5,000 brands and over 225,000 devices, you can be confident that your remote will work with all your devices from yesterday, today and tomorrow.

Once your remote is up and running, you can finally enjoy home entertainment easily and intuitively. For example, the “Watch TV” button lets you turn on or off up to three devices – such as your TV, cable/satellite box and speakers – with the press of one button. The large buttons are easy to find and recognizable by touch, even in the dark.

The Logitech Harmony 200 Remote is the newest edition to the award-winning line of Harmony remotes that includes the Logitech Harmony 300 Remote which replaces up to four devices; the color-screen and rechargeable Logitech Harmony 700 Remote, and the flagship Logitech Harmony One Remote with its stunning touch screen display.

Got the Logitech Notebook Riser N110 from Challenger VivoCity for SGD$37 for my office use. It is to raise my MacBook Pro so that the screen can be placed beside my future monitor for dual screen purposes. In the mean time, it gives me a good elevated viewing angle.

Bought my Logitech 2.4 GHz Cordless Presenter at PK Computer at VivoCity for SGD$132. I have no idea why presenters are so expensive. Even those non-branded one cost about SGD$80. But I must say a presenter is a good investment, I can use it for presentations in my school as well, save me the hassle from clicking the mouse to change slide. I love the Logitech Presenter because it has a built-in countdown timer which many presenters lacks!
