New Harmony Living Home Lineup Sits at the Center of Your Smart Home
NEWARK, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Today Logitech (SIX:LOGN) (NASDAQ:LOGI) announced it is bringing its
expertise and leadership in universal remotes to the home control market
with new home automation product compatibility and four new products.
The new Harmony® Living Home lineup gives you easy access and
control over a wide library of entertainment and home automation
devices, all from one centralized control system.

"Harmony led the path for simplifying home entertainment, and now we've
taken that expertise to also simplify home automation," said Chad
Thompson, senior director of worldwide marketing and product management.
"As more connected devices such as the Nest Learning Thermostat™,
Philips® hue lights and August™ Smart Locks come to market and enter the
home, there's more of a need than ever before for a centralized way to
simply control all of the home's devices - the Harmony Living Home
lineup does just that."
With just a few easy steps your remote, tablet or smartphone can now
control your TV, set-top box, speakers, lighting, thermostat, door
locks, window shades and other popular devices. Plus, you can easily
combine multiple devices into Activities to trigger at once so you can
power on your TV, dim your lights, adjust the temperature and open your
window shades all at the same time. You can start an Activity with one
touch of your remote or mobile device, automatically on a custom
schedule, or by passing a sensor. You can even trigger Activities from
the Harmony Mobile App when you're not at home.
Highlights of the new lineup include:
Logitech Harmony Home Hub
The Harmony Living Home experience is made possible by the Logitech
Harmony® Home Hub. It uses RF, IR, Bluetooth® and Wi-Fi
to relay commands from Logitech Harmony Living Home remotes or the
Harmony Mobile App to the wide array of home entertainment and home
automation devices. The Logitech Harmony Home Hub is included with the
Logitech Harmony Ultimate Home and Logitech Harmony Home Control, or it
can be purchased separately for a suggested retail price of $99.99.
