As a whole, it's hard to kvetch <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2008/01/06/logitech-harmony-one-gets-reviewed/">too much</a> about Logitech's Harmony line of universal remotes, but as a devout hacker once told us, there's always room for improvement. Phil Dibowitz has been pursuing this project for months, and it looks as if a final release is at long last ready for mass distribution. Put simply, Concordance enables the Harmony family to be programmed in UNIX (which Logitech's software doesn't support) as well as in Windows and Linux. Furthermore, Phil states that the goal is to be "cross-platform," so Mac users should keep an eye out for future updates. Currently, the software supports every model save for the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2005/09/05/logitech-harmony-890-advanced-universal-remote/">890</a> and <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2007/03/03/logitech-harmony-1000-review-roundup/">1000</a>, though both will hopefully be added in soon. Go on, give the read link a tap and get started -- just don't come crying to us if your "Watch TiVo" command starts opening the boss' garage door.<br /><br />[Via <a href="http://www.hackaday.com/2008/05/04/hacking-harmony-for-linux/">Hack-A-Day</a>]<h6 style="clear: both; padding: 8px 0 0 0; height: 2px; font-size: 1px; border: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0;"></h6><a href=http://www.phildev.net/harmony/>Read</a>*|*<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/05/concordance-enables-logitech-harmony-programming-in-unix-linux/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to this entry">Permalink</a>*|*<a href="http://www.engadget.com/forward/1186551/" title="Send this entry to a friend via email">Email this</a>*|*<a href="http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/05/concordance-enables-logitech-harmony-programming-in-unix-linux/#comments" title="View reader comments on this entry">Comments</a>
