• Watch TV
• Listen to Music
• Watch a DVD
• Play a Game
To create an Activity, you need to know some basic information about how your devices interact with each other in
that Activity. For example, to create a basic Watch TV Activity, you need to know:
• Which devices you will use. In most cases, you need at least the following devices:
• A TV set
• A video source, such as a cable or satellite set top box
• Which device is used to control the volume
• Which device is used to change channels
• Which input is used on the TV set to view the video source
Inputs determine how your devices are connected. For example, if your DVD player is connected to the Video 2
input on your TV, then the TV must be set to Video 2 to display the DVD’s picture. More information is provided
about inputs in the instructions for Adding a Watch TV Activity.
Favorites
The Favorites screen allows you to view your predefined Favorite Channels and station icons (where available). You
can select up to 50 television channels to display on the Harmony App. Selecting a Favorite Channel will start your
“Watch TV” Activity, if it’s not already started, and tune directly to that channel. Using the mobile device screen,
you can add, remove and reorder your Favorite Channels. The Harmony App on your smartphone allows you to
customize Favorite Channels unique to each smartphone.
Harmony App
The Harmony App communicates with the Harmony hub and mini blasters to send commands to your devices. The
app also sets up and communicates with your MyHarmony account, which saves your configuration information in
the cloud so that once the Harmony App is set up, you can use the Harmony App on all the smartphones in your
household to control the Harmony Smart Control system. In addition, the Harmony App can be customized on each
smartphone so that each person can set up and save their own individual preferences.
MyHarmony
http://myharmony.com is a website where you can access your Harmony Smart Control configuration information
and make changes to your setup if necessary. When setting up your Harmony Smart Control system for the first
time with the Harmony App, it sets up a MyHarmony account for you on MyHarmony. You can return to
MyHarmony any time to change your configuration, although you can make most changes with the Harmony App.
There are minimum system requirements for using MyHarmony on your computer. The following operating
system/browser combinations are supported:
