Logitech Harmony® One

$275.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
when you pick the remote up it automatically lights up, a feature that is obviously great in a dark room.
from www.amazon.com
where the significant improvements are in the harmony one over the harmony 880 are the feel of the device in the hand, the improved backlit hard buttons that are easy to see in the dark, and a dock
from www.amazon.com
the remote rests easily and snugly in the cradle, which also has a pilot light with adjustable brightness so that it is easily found in the dark, a thoughtful touch.
from www.amazon.com
* compared to the 800 line (880 in particular), it is much easier to find the right button in the dark, and it's easier to tell if you're holding the remote backwards.
from www.amazon.com
another nice feature is how the remote lights up; each button is backlit so you can use it easily in a dark room.

from www.bestbuy.com
i'd rather see it turn on whenever you pick it up, that way you wouldn't have to search for the glow button in the dark.
from Moman from CT, www.circuitcity.com
removing the aggravation factor of fumbling with multiple remotes in the dark is worth a lot.
from www.amazon.com
i've yet to change the batteries...and the coolest secret function is that in a dark room if you pass by it the remote will glow.

Logitech Harmony 360 LCD

$96.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.bestbuy.com
the remote can even sense movement around it, so when you're looking for the remote in the dark, it lights itself up as soon as it feels something.
from www.amazon.com
there are several different styles and textures of buttons, making it easy to find the right button in the dark without looking.
from www.amazon.com
but that is not a problem cause once it is set up, your 8 or 9 other remotes can be thrown in a dark corner of your closet.
from www.newegg.com
glow in the dark is great.
from www.amazon.com
when its dark and you press the glow button, you cant tell the difference between which colors are which with the red, blue, yellow and green buttons.

Sony RM-VL600

from www.amazon.com
only thing i can think of to make it better would to have all the buttons backlit so i could see it better in the dark.
from www.amazon.com
don't mind if it's not lighting up because i've never watched tv in dark.
from alan7834, www.shopping.com
cons: buttons are hard to see in dark or slightly lit rooms.
from www.amazon.com
i am fortunate enough to have a true-blue, home theater (big projection screen, hd front projector, 5.1 dolby/dts av processor with a separate 5 channel amplifier, totally dark room) with a harmony
from www.amazon.com
my only complaint is that it is not backlit, which means you have to navigate by touch in the darkness.

from www.tigerdirect.com
my only complaint is that it can be hard to find in a dark room since the remotes is near black in color, would be nice is the base station had a page button on it that would make the remote beep or
from www.amazon.com
the keys are backlit if you can find the 'glow' button in the dark and press it or if you press one of the buttons to the side of the led screen.
from www.amazon.com
the back light is a plus, though it would be helpful if the "glow" button that turns it on was bigger or easier to find in the dark.
from www.amazon.com
here they are: the actual glow button doesn't glow in the dark so it's hard to find.
from www.amazon.com
1) the buttons are all the same size so you can't feel your way around the control in the dark.

$32.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the layout is also intuitive enough, that you can operate this remote in the dark after a few days of getting used to it.
from kagehoshi, www.newegg.com
one thing that could be improved though would be to add lights to the remote, since most people would watch tv in the dark.
from aylarja, www.newegg.com
i do find that the lack of a backlight (or some other visibility mechanism) is a problem in a dark room, which is how i typically view dvds and blu-rays.
from ucjuicy, www.newegg.com
other thoughts: my fingers took a week or so to memorize the new button placements (tv watching happens in the dark).
from Nobbler, www.newegg.com
cons: the remote has no illumination, so using it in a dark room can be frustrating.

Intermatic HA101K

$99.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
it also needed to be reset every time the sunrise and sunset times would shift far enough that my lights were either going on in the sunlight, or not going on until late after dark.
from www.amazon.com
the logitech harmony one advanced universal remote i just received, the intermatic does not have an external power adapter, nor is there an internal light source to allow easy usage in the dark.
from www.amazon.com
for instance, i could set the main lighting to turn on at 4 am so i don't have to stumble downstairs in the dark.
from www.amazon.com
keep in mind that the system is battery operated, and unlike the logitech harmony one advanced universal remote i just received, the intermatic does not have an external power adapter, nor is there
from www.amazon.com
nevertheless, having even these 2 lamps go on automatically when it becomes dark would offer some protection as they'd be visible from the sides and back of the house.

from DanH from Baltimore, MD, www.circuitcity.com
buttons could be a bit easier to read in the dark.
from www.amazon.com
the remote control is very good: when set up it's easy and convenient to use, has light to see display in dark, etc., but the radio frequency power bluster is not as powerful or sensitive as my
from www.amazon.com
i do wish the remote used a brighter color than the dark red for the backlight.
from fredjwalsh, www.shopping.com
cons: (small con) lcd backlighting could be bit stronger in dark, and color other than red the bottom line: great remote, with intuitive lay-out.
from www.amazon.com
my only complaint is the backlighting - it is there, but it is pretty faint, so it is a bit more difficult to navigate in a darkened room.

from www.amazon.com
the buttons light up when the remote is touched which is nice in a dark room (for watching movies).
from www.amazon.com
all criticism aside, at least it glows in the dark due to its back lighted buttons (once pressed).
from www.newegg.com
the back lit green buttons are nice in the dark.

Logitech Harmony 890 LCD

$411.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.bestbuy.com
it even lights up when you pick it up so you can see it in the dark withough having to find a button to turn on the remote backlight.
from www.amazon.com
i haven't set it up for rf control of my home lighting yet but plan to also have it control future power shades for room darkening.
from www.amazon.com
-i like the darker color of 880 better (there's a pro version of 890 in that color, but it's more expensive and hard to find)
from www.amazon.com
the only design issue i find it that the small buttons are hard to find in a dark room and hard to push one-handed.
from DCB, www.newegg.com
anyone who needs to turn on the lights evidently does not have the backlight option turned on, because every key and the display are clearly readable in the dark.

>>all the buttons (in each section)are the same exact size & shape (forcing you to look at the remote to see what you're doing in the dark) -- *especially* the buttons on the bottom 1/3 of the remote
from www.amazon.com
you just drop it in near the spot, and give it a slight push until it clicks in the trough, and watch the lcd create a gold light, with a new picture; you can do it easily even in the dark.
from www.amazon.com
ironically, if i cover the lcd display, i can see the buttons in the dark.
from www.amazon.com
the blue backlighting is worthless i was in a near dark room and could barely read the keys even with the charger set to its brightest setting.

its full of neat features from recalling your preset light level, to fade out when you leave a room, so that its not dark in the room till you are out of it.
from www.amazon.com
every change to the light-level is faded, giving your eyes iris just under 2 critical seconds to adjust before getting blasted by the full intensity or plunged into darkness.
