If you are sure the information entered is correct, then you may still add this device by teaching Harmony IR commands from the original remote. It's important to review these carefully as different model numbers often means the device will have different IR commands or input/source lists that may cause your Activities to start incorrectly. If the manufacturer and model number you entered was not found in the Harmony database, however similar matches were, those similar matches will be presented. ![]() View this support article for more information: Understanding devices with multiple IR versions. By default, Harmony will add the device into your account using the most common version however if that does not work you can change the version. Most devices respond to a single type of IR signal however some devices have multiple versions of those IR signals and it's important that Harmony understands which one to send. There are different versions of this device It's important that you review this as changes may have to be made to your device before it can be controlled. With the setup out of the way, let's take a closer look at the remote itself.When adding a device to your account, Harmony looks for information that may help you in controlling this device and will display that information if anything's found. With a properly configured Harmony Elite, your kids, babysitter, significant other, visiting in-laws, and anyone else can easily operate your complex A/V configuration - they just need to tap on the desired activity and the remote will handle the rest. This is not only a time saver for your home's entertainment captain (you, presumably), it's a godsend for less tech savvy people in your household. There's no fiddling with inputs, and because it asked during the setup phase, the Harmony Elite knows to send volume button commands to the surround receiver and channel commands to the DirecTV box when I'm watching TV. Let me reiterate, it does all those things with a single tap. For example, after creating the Watch TV activity for my particular setup, a single tap turns on the TV, switches to the appropriate input (HDMI 1) that's connected to my surround sound unit, turns on the Onkyo receiver, switches to the correct audio input, and powers up the DirecTV satellite box. When you create an activity, you end up with one-touch operation for tasks that would normally require multiple button presses and remotes. ![]() You can do this by plugging the remote into your PC via the included micro-USB to USB cable or through the aforementioned Harmony app. Once you plug the Harmony Hub into a power source and place it in your A/V rack, you're ready to configure the remote. Cool stuff.Ĭonfiguring the RemoteSetup here is pretty simple. If you're watching a sporting event and the crowd goes wild while you fetch a beer, you can press pause in the kitchen (provided you brought the remote with you) and catch up on the action when you return to the living room. This means you don't need a direct line-of-sight when controlling your A/V or smart home gear, nor do you even have to be in the same room. Though it uses IR for your gadgets, the Harmony Hub communicates with the Harmony Elite remote through RF signals. It's essentially a super IR blaster, and Logitech includes two mini wired IR blasters that plug into the main unit to extend its reach in your A/V rack - perfect for multi-level setups. It takes commands from the remote control or your mobile device (using Logitech's free Harmony software for iOS and Android) and passes them on to your electronic gadgets via IR, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth wireless signals. What you see here is the included Harmony Hub, which is sort of the command center. ![]()
