Last year Logitech announced that they would be bricking its Logitech Harmony Link, which basically turned our smartphones and tablets into universal remotes of sorts. Given that it was launched in 2011, we suppose it’s not surprising that eventually its time would have come to an end.
The good news is that to make up for this, Logitech announced that they would be giving Link customers the Harmony Hub as a replacement. However it should be noted that this free offer only came after there was a ton of backlash following the announcement. Logitech had also initially offered customers a 35% discount, which once again did not sit well with customers, ultimately resulting in them offering a free replacement instead.
The Harmony Link is still in operation but as per Logitech’s announcement, it will cease to work come March 2018, so if you haven’t upgraded yet perhaps now’s a good time to do so.
