Logitech Harmony remote

I am an harmony user too…
You can have a screen where the entire screen on the Elite remote become a touch pad for gesture control. Perhaps this could be used for scrolling? The further the finger the middle of the screen, the faster the scroll?
Otherwise, yes, the harmony can learn IR code from any remote…

I use my Harmony companion remote on Netflix app on my Android TV box without any issue (so no “AirMote” in that case too). Up/Left/Right/Down/Ok/Back provide all the navigation required.

What would be the difference here causing it to not work in Netflix app on PPX?

AFAIK Netflix on PPM can only controlled via AirMote, not the Cursor Buttons. Because it is the Tablet Version of NetFlix.

Update: It can be controlled also with the D-Pad, but with the default Colorsettings it is pretty hard to see where the current selection is.

For the Harmony Hub products there is the Harmony Smart Keyboard ( Harmony Smart Keyboard ). The Harmony Hub has an option to pair via Bluetooth to devices and with the keyboard it should at least give users who have it a mouse pad (providing it is setup through Logitech this way).

Update here: we found the right contact at Logitech and they are asking now the HEX files for our remotes. To be continued…

Hi @Philips_Support_P and @Philips_Support_N. Can the PPM be turn on only by ir? Is the ir on the PPM only on the back of the device? I’m positioning my harmony hub correctly to turn on the ppm. I was wondering if connecting the harmony using bluetooth could be an option.

yes the PPM is turned on only via IR

I can turn on and off my PPM by IR using Broadlink Mini installed in front of it.
By the way, the IR signal for on and off seems to be different. (Long press for off?)

just finished a meeting with Logitech. We will send them the HEX code for our remote control and they will implement it asap in their database.
Second step will be to use the Harmony with Bluetooth HID.
Will keep you posted asap!

@Philips_Support_N has there been any updates about this?

We continue to work with Logitech on this. We’ve dropped off our samples at their office, now they’re looking for all the IR codes. Due to offices in China being closed this is taking some time. But the project is moving fast and I think soon everything will be operational.

By the way, @Philips_Support_P let’s create an documenting for:

a) Are all Remote Buttons using Infrared?
b) Are there other buttons than power which are not able to be used in Bluetooth mode?

@Philips_Support_N

Any update on this and also the Logitech Integration ?

I would like to order a Harmony also for my PicoPix/FireTV Room, to get rid of the two remotes :wink:

Yes with the exception of the mouse button which enables mouse mode and simulates clicking.

In BT mouse mode, the OK button is disabled.

In progress on Logitech side. Should be done soon.

@Philips_Support_P Any news on this Prashant? Or is it already in place? It’s a bit of a clunky process to check via Logitech remote set up so thought I’d ask you first.

Thanks

We are still waiting for Logitech. Samples of our remote were already delivered to their office last month.

I just tried to setup my PPM but the Harmony software doesn’t recognise it as a Philips device. That is, typing in either ‘PicoPix Max’ or the model code brings up nothing in the Harmony software.

We’re still waiting for Logitech to include our remotes in their database.
