Here’s another Father’s Day gift idea – this time for the A/V-loving guys. The new Harmony Ultimate remote from Logitech is the ultimate remote control. The Harmony Ultimate can control up to 15 devices, including the TV, cable boxes, media boxes, game consoles like PS3, Wii, or Xbox (with the remote’s Bluetooth functionality), and even your Phillips’ Hue Lights. You select your devices from the library of 225,000 home theater devices and customize your remote for your setup using the online setup utility. You can program the remote with activities (like watch Netflix, listen to music, or watch a DVD) and your favorite channels and control everything from the customizable touchscreen. The remote uses Logitech’s “patented Smart State technology, which remembers your devices’ power and input settings and automatically adjusts them based on what you want to do.” You can even control devices through cabinets or walls. The remote has a rechargeable battery and a charging station, so the Harmony Ultimate is ready whenever Dad is ready to relax. It’s available now at Logitech for $349.99.
