Custom Activities
Most Activities should fit into one of the Activity types offered. The Custom Activity type is recommended only for
home appliances such as light controllers, fans, climate control devices, etc. The Custom Activity does not provide
optimized defaults such as button customizations, Activity icons, and Favorite Channels as the other predefined
Activity types do. These may be configured manually from MyHarmony once setup is complete. Refer to How to
map buttons to your remote for additional information.
Special Devices
Some types of devices require that you change or manipulate some aspect of them in order for them to be
controlled by Harmony Ultimate. If you have an RF-only device, a device that understands multiple IR languages, or
a device that does not accept IR input at all, you will be notified of this during setup. Look for that flags it.
Examples of these devices are:
RF devices: some devices, such as DirecTV or Dish Network cable boxes, are controlled using RF (Radio
Frequency) signals. If your device’s original remote can operate from a different room, then it is likely using a
RF signal. Some of these devices allow them to switch into an IR (infrared) mode that allows Harmony to
control them.
Multi-Code devices: some devices may be controlled using multiple different IR (infrared) signal versions.
MyHarmony will use the most common version. However, if it does not work you may return to MyHarmony
