Neue Logitech-Fernbedienungen mit Apps & Bluetooth-Hub

Logitech präsentiert zwei neue programmierbare Fernbedienungen, die mit einer Smartphone-App für iOS & Android ergänzt werden und über den "Harmony Hub" auch in der Lage sind, nicht nur Infrarot-Geräte sondern z.B. auch die Playstation 3 via Bluetooth zu steuern. Der "Harmony"-Hub setzt die Befehle der Smartphone-App um und sendet die Codes via Infrarot und Bluetooth weiter. Die Fernbedienungen lassen sich aber auch ganz ohne App nutzen. Die Logitech Harmony Smart Control ist die einfache Ausführung für 129 EUR ohne eigenes Display, die Logitech Harmony Ultimate für 279 EUR verfügt darüber hinaus über einen eigenen Touchscreen, der z.B. Sender-Logos und Fernbedienungsfunktionen anzeigt. Über eine Online-Datenbank sollen rund 225.000 Geräte unterstützt werden, also auch solche, für die es vom Hersteller keine eigene Smartphone-App gibt. Der Verkaufsstart ist für den Mai geplant.
