Logitech Harmony Elite
You name it and Logitech’s Harmony Elite universal remote can control it, everything from your home theater to your thermostat.
The Harmony Elite, $350, is truly the one remote to rule them all. It can control every device in your entertainment center and also manage an unlimited number of connected-home devices. Create a “date night” button and with one touch your Philips Hue bulbs will cast a soft red hue and your Sonos speaker will start playing your most romantic playlist. Movie night?
