Lets all jump in our time machines and get one

This reply is getting so old it makes the Onkyo joke look like cutting edge wit.

If it's been £60 before then it is quite likely to be £60 again, so it's worth knowing.
Personally I couldn't stomach paying £30 more... so I'm glad when people say the price it's been previously...it means I'll wait for it to drop again.

Responses about time machines make people less likely to post previous prices...and makes this site that bit less useful.

Got it for £60 last week. No time machine sorry :stuck_out_tongue:

I sent the ultimate back as it reset itself next day. Decided on trying the elite. Can't seem to get my favourites to sync. Set up for TV and SKY 401 to come on works ok, then TV and BT to come on to 430 as separate activities, however it keeps saying i haven't set favourites up even though sky and bt are different boxes.

Do you have a link for the bundle, for the ultimate?

I ordered mine last night at £90 then noticed the price had dropped again so cancelled and reordered at £83.

Went back in my time machine and missed the deal then to :disappointed:

I got my time machine from the same deal but missed out on the £60 Logitech remote to power it :disappointed:

Actually had this on a camel price watch for £90 and seems like I was too late for the £83.46 price. After reading some comments I think I'll see if I can hold out for a decent price on the Elite

Got a time machine for 60 quid last week in 2046

Was about to vote cold when I saw £90 for a remote control, then glanced at first couple of comments about it working with alexa and now its in my basket.

What does it do exactly? Not used IFTTT yet but can I get it to do something like 'alexa, activate morning mode', so switch upstairs hues off, open downstairs curtains, turn on TV cbeebies, read out news and set my hive heating to 20 degrees etc?

The elite has all the physical buttons below the touch screen, the ultimate has the play/stop/rw/ff etc buttons above the touch screen, these can be quite awkward to press without the side of your hand touching the touch screen accidentally activating some other function and just feels a bit of a stretch at first but you soon get used to it.

The Elite also has some extra physical buttons that can be mapped for 'home automation' use, light bulbs etc.

Good luck to anyone using these, especially if you want it to work with Alexa, or a PS4.

Hi all I have the Logitech Harmony Companion Remote Control and wanted to know if I bought another one of these can you use two hubs on one app as I am thinking of putting one in the spare bed room for my tv and gaming systems ?

I love how the hub works with all my stuff. a couple of stupid problems with the hubs and inputs on the devices but there are work arounds as I had to program in the av inputs again even though the input selections where already in as the software would not let you put av input commands in the device start-up lists after a delay. some options are abit weird to figure out as there worded. sky would not come on sometimes and had to change the power delay by 1ms and its never done it again.

just remember there's a lot of testing involved to get some things working right, it took me a few days to get it right but once done I never touched it again and everything comes on.

and I use alexa to, I only use this to turn on and off things and use the sky remote to change channels to long winded using alexa

You make valid points. Being advised of a previous lower price can be useful especially if there is context, i.e."I bought it for £60 last week from xyz co. in a flash sale/ with vouchers/ with a discount code that is no longer available/ using staff discount/ etc." A comment like "Cold because I bought it for £60 last week" invites the time machine comments and is likely to put a valid deal poster off.

I think this site is primarily about the deals although the comments are very important

Back up to £129.99 now.

Are there really no apps that can now do what this remote can do? i find it hard to believe we still have to buy a remote to control things especially things over wifi?

I would advise people to avoid this model and wait for a good deal on the Elite instead.

just dropped to 83 quid

See comment #22

It's been around this price and lower in past few weeks. I bought 3 at £65 recently so mabey wait and see if it reduces again.

Sorry but it's cold. Got it for 60 quid last week

Hahahha. I love this

Cheers just seen a bundle deal for the hub and dot for £115 which i'll go for, Q&A on there states the difference is just the latest firmware is pre-installed in the v2, though v1 will update to it anyhow.

Same place same link. Amazon

I what does this do and why wouldn't I just use the sky remote? I have amazon echo.. should I invest in this?

Not a reason to make this cold but it's good to know how much it's been in the past, we could see it at 60 again soon

The Ultimate is an ergonomical nightmare. Feels so wrong in your hand. The Elite is worlds apart.

Not a bad price for the Ultimate, but the Elite is infinitely better.

I like to know how cheap items have been. Not everyone needs to buy now, I'd rather wait, no time machine required for that. :smiley:

Received mine yesterday from the 65 quid offer. Set up in no time and so much better than the 700 it has replaced. The button placement is going to take some time getting used to and why I was originally looking at the elite but the price difference was just not worth it.

Got it for £60 last week. No time machine sorry :stuck_out_tongue:

would this allow me to switch on a few devices at once with a single press?

Got both in the last deal. Hub 1 updates to latest firmware as part of setup and works great with Alexa

i'm looking for just the hub so i can control tv, etc via the echo dot. It states in the description this is a v1 hub, anyone know what the latest version is?

Hot, this is less than the hub alone retails, I bought this at £115 last week which was a good price, wish I had waited now!
