Logitech Harmony 665 Advanced Remote Control, Universal Entertainment Remote, Replaces up to 10 remotes with Guided Online Set-up and Interactive Help (Renewed)

I was nervous buying this remote from this buyer because the remote is no longer manufactured by Logitech. But even though the remote didn't come in the original packaging, the remote was in pristine condition, properly wrapped and works flawlessly. They even included an extra long USB cable that works with the remote so that I could set up the remote through the MyLogitech web app. I was very happy with this purchase especially since buying one off of another site would've costed me 2 to 3 times as much. As for the remote itself, it has excellent range for what I need, it feels to be well-made and the buttons operate properly. I am sure the battery life will be normal. Very happy with this purchase.

Several buttons on my old remote (same model) stopped working. Logitech no longer makes these universal remotes. I ordered a used replacement, logged in, downloaded the settings (wised for the old remote), and it works like a champ with all of my devices. Used device cost much less than a new replacement—and I’m not sure where new ones are coming from anyway since they aren’t being manufactured by Logitech anymore. The remote is nice because it can create activities (to start and configure multiple components with a single button—like watching TV/cable by turning on the TV and stereo receiver, setting the correct TV and stereo inputs and configuring the remote to work both devices with the rest of the remote buttons. Same for watching DVD/BluRay discs, listening to CDS OR USB (MP3’s), etc…. Sad to see Logitech no longer making them (or newer models).

I had the exact same remote for about 8 years. Worked great, which is why we purchased another. I understand there are problems with refurbished products but this one lasted less than a week before the screen went completely blank. This remote is useless without the screen. Contacted Amazon in hopes of an even exchange, no help there. Awaiting a response from the business I purchased this from. If they're able to do a swap, I'll update the review.

My old Harmony 550 owed an out of date control software incompatible with the New 665. Even though within the old software was a button suggesting one touch transition to the new 665. Ultimately, I downloaded the newer operating software (My Harmony) made the transition by importing my equipment specs from the old software by care fully reading the sparse information provided. Next was software confusion in names of ports. Once corrected, all worked well. Installing my old 550 was easy and worked the first time,BSI I expected the same with my upgrade.

I've been a fan of the Logitech 665 remotes for years. The remote itself is a dream to use and the "My Harmony" app makes programming the remotes a breeze. Unfortunately, Logitech has discontinued this model and replaced it with less capable and more expensive models. Go figure.... I was a bit cautious to buy "renewed" (AKA Refurbished) ones but I took the plunge and bought several. I'm very happy with the results. Other than the packaging and my comments below, they might as well be new. Comments: 1. These remotes are motion-activated. By that I mean that they sense when they are picked up and turn on at that time. Therefore shipping them with batteries installed means that the batteries will be worn down a bit when they arrive. I'd suggest two uninstalled AA batteries be put in the box along with the remote and the connecting cable rather than having the batteries installed in the remote itself and thereby running down a bit every time the box is moved or touched. 2. I did have one of the several remotes I bought show up as DOA. That wasn't a big deal because with a quick return online and a short stop by the UPS store, the defective one was on its way back to AZ and I had a replacement unit the next day. Net: Great remote (my vote for one of the best ever) and great service by AZ to take all of the worry out of buying a used version. Side note: Shame on Logitech Harmony for discontinuing one of their best products.

The backlight on the LCD screen remains on all the time. There is no way to turn it off, even when going through all the settings in Logitech Harmony setup software. A search on Google shows that this issue is common. I found no way to fix the problem. Information on Google suggests that updating the remote's software can fix it. I have no idea how to do that. This situation will run down the batteries more quickly than normal. I likely cannot use this remote. Other than the backlight problem, the remote works.

Logitech has decided to get out of the programmable remote control biz, even though there is a thriving need for these devices. Not sure who convinced them to bail, but they are wrong. The good news is that they still support the online Setup tool called My Harmony, and that is the heart of this system. This device came in like a brand new unit, with the plastic covers over the display and front panel, no sign of previous use. It is working great on our fourth cable box. These remotes allow you to set the components to be controlled up by just entering the make and model of the TV, DVD, cable box etc and as long as it is supported (virtually all modern devices are) the remote works as well as the OEM version. And, it allows you to program complex functions like turning on the TV, setting it to the right input, turning on the DVD player, turning on the stereo and setting up for Watch Movie, as we call it! Really the best of its kind and I was happy to find this for $100. A steal these days as they are very hard to find unless you go used, and even those are hundreds. Buy this if you want one remote for many functions.

Gran producto, funciona bien solo hay que bajar la aplicacion y toma tiempo en hacerlo funcioanr, pero es muy bueno, no funciona el Fire Stick en este control.

replace old remote/broken. works perfect

This unit has such a very weak signal that it will not work at all if more than 3 feet away from the TV. Even then it is hit and miss to get it to preform any functions. It is so useless and frustrating to use that I switched back to the old unit (which even though is old and sometimes will not work up to par, is far superior to this unit) I have given up on its use altogether and it is now stored in my cupboard with the batteries removed.. Complete waste of money. Extremely disappointed in Logi, they previously had a very good product and is why I bought this one but they seemed to have diluted the quality to the point of not working properly.at all. Very disappointed!

First time buying "Amazon renewed" but went ahead anyways. Although no retail package, the remote is in pristine condition, no scratches and even had the sticker to protect the display! Came with the USB cable, setup was a breeze once I installed the software. Just copied my existing settings and sync. To keep it new, I heat shrink wrapped it.

I bought this as a refurbished product to replace my older Harmony 520 which had served me well for many years but was finally showing its age. The new remote arrived before the promise date and in like new condition. The setup and configuration, once I finally figured out how to do it, was fairly simple and intuitive. The trouble is that, I guess because this was a refurbished product, the software needed for setting it up and configuring it wasn't provided nor was there even a mention that software IS needed let alone any direction as to where to get it. I first tried using the software that came with my old model 520 but it didn't work at all because the 665 needs updated software. There was also no help or instructions of any kind provided - no user manual, not even a quick start guide. The package included only the remote and a very short USB cable. That's it. In short, I was on my own. If this had been my first universal remote purchase or if I had been less tech savvy than I am, I would have been totally lost. Even so, I did experience some minor frustration until I finally found the software that I needed on Logitech's support site.
