Harmony Remote launches H655 Internet- Powered Universal Remote Control at CEDIA Expo 2004 (1/6/2004)

Universal Remote Control H655 offers direct access Activity Buttons, integrates up to 15 components and is compatible with SKY.

Intrigue Technologies, a leader in intelligent remote control technology will unveil their latest handheld device, the Harmony H655 Universal Remote during CEDIA Expo 2004, at the ICC in Birmingham from June2-4th, 2004.

Intrigue Technologies has pioneered a new type of intelligence - Smart State Technology which achieves the goal of remote control design by removing the barrier that exists between the average family and their entertainment system.

Offering a sleek and intuitive design, the H655 integrates up to 15 components, is teletext ready, boasts a fully backlit keypad, interactive display and is compatible with SKY.

While all other universal remote controls offer device-by-device control, the Harmony Remote provides user-friendly, "activity-based" control. The H655 is custom configured on a personal home page accessible by both PC and MACs. Users simply answer a series of online prompts about his or her A/V system.

The remote is configured by downloading all instructions for each user's unique mix of components, via the supplied USB cable. After the remote is configured, users simply select an activity, such as "Watch Television" or "Play a DVD," from the remote's LCD screen. This configuration is always safely stored on the user's web page so they can make changes any time they want with their web browser. This simplified and groundbreaking approach eliminates the need to perform complicated programming required of other universal remotes.

The Harmony H655 not only controls every conceivable A/V component, it also controls game box devices, music servers, curtains, lights and much more. The suggested retail price of the H655 is £150 including VAT.
