As soon as i heard Dead Pres.... i have never hit a sub button so hard in my life. LOOL. Dope content!

[brassclaw]

Thanks Chris!  I have to get one of these now.  You covered all my questions and concerns I had about this device before purchasing.  Hope Logitech is taking care of you because you're the best advertisement for this device I've seen so far.

[wilfordgray]

Thanks for the straightforward how to.
I never even thought to have my lights automatically dim as part of the routine but that's a great idea.

[VoodooGTR]

Great video man. I always watch these when they are posted. Hell I give them a like before I even start the video. But your videos give me ideas on my home project. So many projects and ideas and your videos help me set them up or plan ahead. Thanks!

[SLE]

Thank You. The Harmony website could not answer my questions. You did answer my questions.

[RedeemedManOfGod]

You are the absolute best YouTuber out there doing stuff like this. You deserve more subs, and you've definitely earned mine after watching some of your smart home videos!

Great video, I was trying to void to buy this remove thinking that it must be hard to program this advance remote control but watching this video changed my mind, Thank you for great turorial video.

[debbieh]

What a great tutorial you did a great job! I just have one question for you will it prompted me on how to set it up with my direct TV remote so I don't always have to use my phone? Thank you for any advice it would be greatly appreciated

And do you run ir extenders to your other rooms to control those rooms like your basement?

Hi, Nice review. clear and concise.
I have a Harmony Elite and Denon x3600h as a receiver. On the populated device buttons, is there a visual clue to tell you the DynEQ/VolOn/Off is on or off (other than listening)? Same with DynEQOn/Off.

I started following ur channel a little bit ago already so knowledgeable n broken down in a simple understanding sence on how to do without being over whelming in any sence that said, from what ive watched it seems u might have the knowledge to help. So heres the scenario. I got a 4k uhd firestick Vizio tv 4k hdr. Etc. n vizio sound bar 5.1. but everytime i go to play play music thru my fire stick for the surround sound audio speakers it switches the input to the sound bar when I launch a song with say a echo dot as n example n it wants to play but it switches input causing me to manually switch the input back to the the fire stick input where it is playing. My sound bar is in my arc port also. Be very great ful if u could looking at hubs also of they help

Setup prompts slightly diff on my iOS app, but after getting it dialed in & settings tweaked to work well for my devices, I then synced, opened Alexa app, enabled the skill & boom! All works well! Loving this... thanks again for all your videos. So far I’m controlling TV, AC (Honeywell WiFi), & Hue lights (super expensive, but sweet!), all without any hubs! (Beside hue bridge ofcourse).

Next I’m going to add front door lock... hopefully HomeKit would suffice, going to see how far I can go without spending money on a physical hub.

I have an upcoming home improv project looming; getting 13 LED recessed fixtures(downlights) installed in my great room (kitchen/dining space/living room). Will need smart switches to control them.

Any switches that run on HomeKit or Alexa directly? (Again, trying to avoid buying a hub).

Great video! I have the elite and pro and I’ll never go back.
I just got the FB Portal TV...can Harmony control it? What about PC wake/sleep?

[mohamedacyl]

Does harmony work with philips hue bridge 2.0 ?? I'm having trouble pairing it with my harmony elite remote

[jojomekkattil]

Dude got awesome background music...go from Dead Prez, to Fugee, to Pharcyde...awesome would you be willing to help me out with some of my setup?

[nigelpottinger]

Great informative video one big question ok u need wifi and the smartphone to setup the harmony remote initially the remote now function as a normal remote if u lose wifi or the phone will the remote still function with the made setting or do u have to always have to have wifi

[MIND]

New to your channel and I'm really digging it! Also, the background music is top notch, NAS, Pharcyde, Dead Prez, classic stuff! I do have a question in regards to something I have not been able to figure out within the Harmony app. How do I set up a power off activity that will not only power off all of the AV equipment but also my Hue lights as well? Do I have to have the hue lights as part of the startup for each activity in order to have them turn off when I say "Turn off the TV"?

[assistologyllc]

This was great. Using an Echo Dot - Once favorite stations are set up, do you just say "Alexa, turn on espn"? Also, do you have a video that shows which skills to enable in Alexa to access streaming services on a Smart TV? TV is a Samsung smart TV and client needs to be able to say "Alexa, play Netflix" and have it launch on the tv. Also, if Netflix launches, can Alexa then control this by voice? Thanks!

Hi Majestech. This video was very helpful. Thanks for sharing. I have a question to clarify;

I have my home theatre system (incl amp, cable box, Apple TV etc.) already nicely tucked away behind the walls. I am running an IR extender to control all the devices but have to use individual remotes to switch among the devices. Hence I am looking to get this Logitech elite remote to control everything with one remote. My question is as follows;

1) given all of my devices are already connected to an IR, can I not directly control the devices using my existing IR emitter with this remote instead of using the IR Blaster supplied with the remote. If this doable, do you think I can still use the other home connect services (philips hue, nest etc.) without the IR Blaster supplied with the remote?

2) alternate option could be that I add my Logitech hub to my existing IR emitter (by attaching the IR eye to the LED screen of the hub). Do you think that is the better option than the first one?

What I don’t want is that I spend $250 only to find out that this will not support my existing IR setup. Unfortunately I cannot change my existing setup for obvious reasons.

Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Awesome video! I wanna use the hub for my who house with Alexa. Do I need a hub for each room or can I just use one hub?
