Smart Home Automation


Logitech Harmony Home Hub

29 January 2020

Harmony Hub turns your smartphone or tablet into a universal remote, giving you control over your home entertainment and smart home devices. You can change channels and volume, program favourites, control lights and other smart devices and build multi-device experiences called ‘Activities’. Plus, you can do it all even when you’re away from home.


The hub works with over 270 000 entertainment and smart home devices, so you can enjoy single-touch control with your favourite brands, right out of the box. From TV sets and gaming consoles to AV receivers and Roku media players, all the way to smart lights, locks, thermostats, and even Alexa, Harmony Hub works with practically everything.

Control your entire home entertainment experience without lifting a finger. With Harmony and Amazon Alexa or Google Home, you can enjoy easy, hands-free control of all the things you love. Turn on your TV, change channels, control volume, or start an Activity like ‘Good Morning’ to play a favourite music playlist, raise the blinds, set the lights and warm the house temperature. With Harmony Activities, you can enjoy single-touch automation to trigger limitless experiences. Harmony automatically suggests everyday Activities, or you can create your own. Time for bed? Tap ‘Good Night’ to lock the door and turn out the lights before you head off to sleep.
