Logitech's remote control business was on the brink of being sold a few years ago but today the company has launched a number of new devices, capable of controlling more kit than ever.

As well as new Harmony universal remotes, for which Logitech is arguably most famous, you can also now take control of selected smart home devices, such as Sonos, and use a dedicated app on your smartphone or tablet.

The Harmony Hub (£100) is the box that turns your phone or tablet into a remote control for your AV kit, and can also control wi-fi-connected lights, thermostats and other smart home devices.

The Harmony Companion (£120) kit gets you a Hub and one of Logitech's basic remote controls, should you want the option of an actual handset alongside the app.
