I love Logitech Harmony remotes, especially the new hub-based remote called Harmony Smart Control. I've used 1 for my master living room entertainment center for a long time. With all of my electronic hidden in a closet behind the Telly, my Harmony remote can command everything without any issues. I fifty-fifty have my Google Habitation integrated with Harmony so I tin tell Google to turn activities on and off.

If the Harmony device won't appear or won't pair, you might have paired your phone to the hub which is not necessary. Forget that Bluetooth connexion on your telephone and then information technology will be complimentary to pair from your Fire TV.
Make sure yous've successfully saved your settings and synced your remote.
