Logitech Harmony discontinuation
editIn March 2025, Logitech announced that they would drop support for the older models of the Harmony remote that used the Harmony Remote software, making them unable to be reprogrammed.[1]
In the discontinuation notes, Logitech stated the following:
After careful consideration, and more than 10 years of dedicated support, we have made the difficult decision to discontinue support for our Harmony First Generation Remote devices. As technology continues to evolve, we recognize the challenges in maintaining our services to the standards we strive for.
Effective May 28th, 2025, users will no longer be able to create new accounts or access existing accounts for programming, updating, or reconfiguring the following list of Harmony remotes.[2]
Consumer response
editCustomers were understanding of this change since the remote was between 15-25 years old, but were still disappointed that Logitech did not add an option to make local changes.[citation needed]
Some customers are accidentally buying the older models on the second hand market, and therefore buying an unusable remote.[citation needed]
