    I just checked and my three aren’t on the list, thankfully (two 665s and a 650). Best remotes I’ve ever had, hands down.

    Has anyone come out with an equivalent spiritual successor product yet? I’m gonna lose my shpadoinkle if one of mine dies and I have to go back to remote hell or some janky universal remote and codebook.

      There are a few, the sofabaton is probably the closest to the cheaper harmony remotes, but it’s configured via an app that requires login so not sure how long that will last.

      There are other companies that are targeting the high end remotes too ($300+) but they all appear to be based on android and get very poor battery life.

    Logitech has gone from one of the best tech brands to essentially garbage. The hardware might still be ok, but their software is crap, and those comments about selling a mouse subscription…

    I desperately wish they would make a new harmony remote or someone else would make a full featured universal remote. I know I am in the minority there I am sure.

    I’m bummed about this, but it’s not a shock given they retired the brand back in 2021. So much for “we will support these devices for as long as they continue to be used” however. This will generate a lot of e-waste.

    I have an 880 that my family use regularly with the TV/AV/etc. I don’t mind so much navigating the three remotes and several buttons to get movies or TV running, but it’ll be annoying having all the extra remotes out on coffee tables all the time now, and repeated instructions to the rest of the fam on how to use them 🥲
