Since almost all Macs have a Bluetooth adapter these days, no USB adapters are needed in most cases, either. The duo also gets the basics right: thanks to the use of Bluetooth, the connection between the Mac and the Harmony Smart Control is rock solid, button presses are received almost instantly and no line of sight is needed. Together, Remote Buddy and the Harmony Smart Control form an elegant, powerful solution for the deep integration of a Mac into a home entertainment setup. More than 100 Mac apps supported by Remote Buddy (including Plex, EyeTV, iTunes, Rdio, Spotify, DVD Player, Mac Blu-Ray Player, iPhoto, Lightroom, XBMC, Movist and VLC) can then be controlled with the same remote that can already control other devices like TV sets, beamers, game consoles, the Apple TV and even Philips Hue lights.

Once the Bluetooth pairing has been established, Remote Buddy is available as a device to the Harmony.

The Harmony Smart Control can now be paired with Remote Buddy on the Mac.
