Harmony Remote

[Bob_99]

Can someone tell me what the major differences are between the Harmony 880 and the 890? I checked various sites, including Logitech, but couldn't seem to find anything that really distinguished the two.

Thanks for any information you can provide.

They are identical except that the 890 includes an RF-based repeater. So the 890 handset can be used throughout your house, and to control components that are perhaps in a closet. You never have to point the remote at the device, etc.

I have the 890, and it's been quite nice.

Thank you, Otto. For some reason I thought that the RF repeater was an additional purchase so I wasn't seeing that as a difference. I appreciate your response.

No problem. I guess I could also clarify a bit, and your response made me think.

The 890 came with the RF repeater and everything you need for the entire system, as far as I can tell.

I don't think the 880 supports any RF, so you couldn't buy it and then add the RF repeater later if you decided you wanted it.

Anyway, FYI.
