Game over. There is no replacement for what harmony is leaving behind. Fuck.

That fucking sucks. I'm still using my first Harmony One and have even bought NOS ones that come up periodically.
Fuck
Can’t say I’m surprised as they clearly have been getting almost 0 attention for a while.
At least I still have 1 working ultimate and 1 working elite set.
I don’t see how “steaming services” means I don’t need a universal remote. What do they think I use them for lol

I wonder if they price is gonna go up or down. I'd buy some hubs for backup legacy use with Google/Alexa.
That's shitty. I got a broken one from an outlaw that I tried to fix, but failed. They really seemed to be a superior device.
Not the same, but remember when I was buying a cheapo tv? Ended up with a Roku tv? Turns out I can use that one Roku TV remote for all my streaming services. It's a very good system. Doesn't access my Telus box, obvs.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I feel like I'm sold on Roku tv.

Probably down, as eventually they will discontinue the ability to program these things. I have an old Harmony 800 in a box that I had for sale on Kijiji forever, noone wanted it, so it still sits here collecting dust. I use a newer Harmony Ultimate One myself now, hope it continues to be of use for a while longer.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Bought one for parents when their old TV died. They used standalone Roku boxes before so the switch to a Roku TV was very easy. I like how the inputs are just another tile so it's easy for them to know what's what, with live preview within the tile.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Built in streaming apps are the worst way to stream.
I use the ones in my frame and the bugginess is terrible. Need to get another Apple TV for it to fix that.
I do 80%+ of my streaming with a separate box hooked up to cable boxes, AVRS, Music sources, TVs. Nothing even out there in terms of a complicated home theatre. If I didn’t have a universal remote I’d have to go open my media closet every time I need to change the volume.

Geez, doesn't even seem like there's one to panic purchase in Canada...
Stock has been gone for a while. I’ve been trying to replace my aging 900 that’s on its last legs for months.
I’m trialing my simpler setups to a single Apple TV remote using cec but changing inputs are a fucking pain. For a home theater with 6 devices harmony is the only solution.

I lucked out and got 2 companions with 2 hubs for basically pocket change a couple weeks ago. Needed them to run MAG emulation on my google TV and Nvidia shield because of their crappy remotes, and no other remotes do bluetooth control. Super finicky to program like every Harmony device I've ever had but once it was up and running they're irreplaceable. Really big market hole being left! Was surprised to read this this morning

Wicked.
I'm going to start my own line then. There's a huge market for proper remote controls.
Fuck I need to find a replacement just in case the one I have ever breaks haha
Ultracrepidarian
Shit. Damn good products. Doubt any other company will take over to fill the void.
Saw that this morning too and spent an hour looking for a possible replacement with no luck . Could rig something up with an IR blaster and a phone app... but that'll be terrible.
Just bought an extra battery for my harmony remote. Here's hoping it never dies
The remotes are well built, last a long time. I’ve only had a 900 die on me, and that’s from a spilt drink. Not surprised they weren’t making money on them when we rarely buy new remotes.
A monthly sub model would’ve worked maybe, but I’m sure everyone would balk at that. Since there are no other options they might’ve gotten away with it.

Wow that's a bummer. Funny I was just thinking of how I need a universal remote last week.... So what are other options?
Control4?
