mbee: does somebody have access to the harmony database
(maybe I could get an access if nobody can), and next step : does
someone already look at a Harmony file and managed to convert it in a
Beo5 file?
The short answer: I don't think so.
The
long answer: I was curious about this myself. I use Logitechs in
several rooms. As I see it... (and I would love to be proved
wrong!) the way it (the software) functions is akin to a web portal. You
basically have several logins, each one representing a room/remote.
When I added a new room recently that was very similar to another -I
thought that it would be easier to search through my computer for any
backing data to the config I was about to nearly duplicate. My intent
was to use it as a template and save my having to recreate a lot of
work.
I found nothing -that doesn't mean it is not there, but led
me to believe that all the data is stored remotely, and accessed via
your login. Even when logged in, there is no access to the hard data.
So,
not as "granular" as one might hope for, but not a bad thing for
typical consumers. Logitech's take on it is quite different than
B&o's Beo5. YOU can program your own remote quite easily. I
am sure that 90% of their user base is satisfied w/ the way the software
works. The last 10% (you and/or me) will be OK with it, but left
wishing for more.
Now, as the hard data resides on a server(s) somewhere... it does
also exist in one more place -your hand! A savvy hacker could likely
jack
the remote itself and pull down the config.
