Re: Anyone using the Pronto RU990

["Dave" <dave_mclaughlin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul

I like the idea of programming it and I recall my old Pronto was great
but you are right, it was time consuming and you never really have it
finished. I want it for more than just the TV/DVD etc and could use
this with my aircon units and home automation too.

I did look at the Harmony 895 and the fact that this has ZWave does
kind of interest me too.

Out of interest, can you change the graphics on the Harmony remotes
and which one would you recommend a look at?

Regards
Dave...

time are you willing to spend programming it? I've had various other
Pronto's and whilst good, never really finished programming any of
them as they do require a LOT of time to get right if you have a
reasonably complex setup (mind you - I was programming lights,
heating, garage door etc etc along with AV kit, switchers etc).

macros etc, the Harmony isn't anywhere near as flexible although there
are ways around most problems I've encountered so far.
