The Harmony remains confused as to the Power state, and the Activities no longer work properly. However, this setup still won’t help you if you turn the TV OFF with any other remote. Then it will allow you to enter discrete Power ON command (Under separate Power On tab) and Power OFF command (under Power Off tab). which makes it look like the Activity macro is not working at all! (And pulling the battery as I did, resets the Power status, which makes it appear the macro only works after pulling the battery!).Īfter much experimentation, I discovered you can teach the Harmony discrete power commands, like so:ĭevices -> Change Device Settings -> Power Settings -> “I want to keep this device on when switching Activities and only turn it off when I press the ON button….” And since the TV is already OFF, nothing happens. So if it thinks the TV is still ON (because I haven't turned it off via its own remote), then when the Activity is initiated, it will attempt to turn it OFF. I believe this makes the Harmony confused as to what state the TV is in - probably because it is operating it via a Power Toggle, rather than a discrete Power command. ![]() But if I use my TV's original remote (or any other remote) to turn the TV off, then the Harmony activities will not work. ![]() If I use the Harmony to power off the TV, then the TV Activities will work afterward. That in fact appears to be the heart of the issue. Well, then I guess it’s good to know the Harmony’s aren’t all this faulty! The TV does indeed turn off, if I use the Harmony's power button.
