“We designed Harmony Express as an entirely reimagined Harmony
experience for an entirely new kind of Harmony user,” said Rory Dooley,
general manager of Logitech Home. “Harmony remotes are renowned for
managing complex entertainment setups and merging the capabilities of
multiple remotes into one. Our loyal users love this flexibility.
Harmony Express simplifies the experience with a remote that harnesses
the power of voice to make it easy for everyone in the household to
access the entertainment experiences they want. Whether Harmony Express
is the first Alexa in the home or one of many, this will be simple
enough for every user. And we mean everyone.”
Alexa At Your Fingertips
Harmony Express is a streamlined remote featuring the most frequently
used entertainment controls, as well as a prominent Alexa button you can
push to easily engage the voice service. Compatible with major cable and
satellite TV providers and popular media streaming platforms, Harmony
Express and Alexa work with your television, cable box, gaming console,
sound system and more, with voice commands that let you:
-
Turn your entertainment devices on or off, even devices inside closed
media cabinets -
Go straight to your favorite TV channels, whether by channel name or
channel number - Launch streaming apps, including Netflix or Amazon Prime
-
Utilize popular Alexa features, so you can ask when TV programs are
scheduled, hear the latest news, control smart devices around the home
and more
“We’re thrilled to see Logitech simplifying the home theater experience
by bringing the convenience of Alexa to its Harmony Express remote,”
said Pete Thompson, VP of the Alexa Voice Service. “With Alexa built-in,
you can easily search and navigate content, control smart devices,
access thousands of skills and more – all you need is your voice.”
But what good is a remote if it’s lost in the couch cushions? The new
Harmony Express mobile app includes a remote finder, which triggers a
tone on the remote to help locate it. Or, owners with existing Alexa
devices can simply ask Alexa to find their lost Harmony Express.
