Question 1

Why does this keep getting delayed PDP? Seems very shady that it keeps getting delayed by 3 months on the day it's supposed to be released.

Accepted Answer

Agreed. This thing has been on Amazon preorder for over a YEAR now. Every time it gets close to release date, they bump it out 4 months. The worst part is a PDP rep answered a question on this on 6/30/17 yet no updates on when it will actually be released. Amazon should just remove it from the site until PDP can actually deliver. At this speed, we will see a PS5 before this is released.

Question 2

Can this be put in a cabinet or is it required to have line of site

Accepted Answer

If you use a Logitech Harmony remote hub, it only needs LOS (line of sight) from an IR (infrared) repeater. Then you can put this in a cabinet - out of sight.

Question 3

Why I need these? I already pair my harmony control with my PS4 as a Bluetooth device.

Accepted Answer

Harmony only pairs to the PS4 as a bluetooth keyboard, which is fairly limited in what it can do.  This device pairs itself as a bluetooth remote.  Not quite a controller but still much more functionality.  Many apps (Spotify, Bluray/DVD, Plex, and others) won't work with Harmony by itself.  You need this device.   And as others have said, this device allows you to power on the PS4 with the remote.  You still need the PS4 controller for a couple of things.  Some apps/games (example: Share Factory) require a controller, not a remote.  Also there is no programmable "options" button provided with this device.  If you do anything on the PS4 cross media bar environment, this device is well work the price.

Question 4

Can this be used with the harmony 880?

Accepted Answer

The PDP IR Receiver has been fully tested and is certified compliant for the following Logitech products:  Harmony 350, 650, 700, 950, Elite and Ultimate. There are close similarities with the different models to assume that the IR Receiver will work for the models not listed however, it cannot be guaranteed
