No it doesn't but that doest matter as much any more.
The reality is that over time more manufacturers are providing
discretes for most functions even when they have toggle
selects.
It may not matter to you but it does matter to those that want to control older equipment that does not respond to discrete codes.
Harmony doesn't use magic to determine the on/off state
- I presume its user synchronized state tracking.
I don't know how they implemented it exactly, but eventually it boils down to a bunch of persistent variables.
Can you suggest a remote can do that? Preferably in the 9200 price range (and with lots of hard buttons).
You might consider downloading the software and checking
out the 1Remote download to see if discretes exist for
your components.
I've been asking about discrete commands for my components for a while. Got some suggestions, asked the Harmony support to program them in, never got the equipment to respond as expected.
As I understand it, a lot of the devices in the same line use the same IR "language" but not every device responds to every command.
Thats too vague to respond to but most likely. Name something
specific that you think the 9200 needs to do. Keep in
mind this like a structured programing version of the
Pronto Series until the Pro series.
Sorry, I am not familiar with the terminology.
Again a little vague, its 7 out of 10. If you want animated
icons it wont do that.
How will animated icons help control my equipment?
Basically, what I am looking for is something like the Harmony but with macros, off-line programmability and the ability to program myself what currently can only be done by the Logitech tech support on their end.
And yes, "synchronized state tracking" or suchlike is important.
Thank you,
Alex.
