    Does that one include the hub? Can't see it on the page. UK version does although obviously more expensive.

    Quite tempted by this as I have a tonne of remotes in my setup now.

    Is it possible to get free delivery from Amazon.de as it is only giving me the standard option?

    Delivery might be less if using PW/PM, it was with a Philips hue light set.

    Don't think the Hub is included with this!

    The hub adds a lot of extra features that a basic harmony remote can't do. A basic harmony remote can only control devices via flaky IR, the hub can:

    - Allow you to hide away all your devices in a cupboard or another room. The remote connects to the hub via wifi and then the hub sends the IR commands to the devices in the cupbaord/other room via three separate IR blasters. Even if using IR, it ends up much more reliable then just using IR on the remote. You don't have to be careful about where you point the remote, just hit any button and it all works once setup.

    - The hub can also connect by bluetooth to devices that support it. Bluetooth being far more reliable then IR E.g. PS3, PS4, Fire TV, Android TV, etc.

    - It allows you to use bluetooth keyboard with devices that support it.

    - It allows you to control devices that support commands over IP (probably the most reliable method). E.g. Roku, Now TV boxes.

    - It allows you to use an app on your iphone/android phone to control your devices.

    - It allows you to connect to philips hue lights and other home automation devices.

    - It can allow you to control your devices with voice via Amazon Echo (sort of works at the moment, better support currently in beta) and other home automation apps.

    This Harmony Ultimate One remote is great, but I definitely wouldn't get one without a hub IMO.
