The Harmony One’s Remote Assistant guides you through starting Activities. It also gives 
you more information about the status of your remote and the Activity you selected. 
For example, when you select the Watch TV Activity, the Remote Assistant asks you if the 
TV is on and if the other devices in the Activity are configured properly.
You can turn this feature on or off from the Harmony Remote Software or from the 
remote. The Remote Assistant can be turned of permanently only by using t\

The Harmony one is always learning new tricks!
Adding additional features to your Harmony One
It’s possible that a device’s commands are not recognized. Maybe you have a very rare 
device?  Or a new one? Although we update our device list regularly, there are always 
new devices in the market. To remedy this, you can teach your Harmony how to control 
this device by using the device’s original remote.

Types of delays or speed settings
If your device doesn’t react to a command from the Harmony One, it may be because 
the delay setting needs to be adjusted. By default, different devices take different 
amounts of time to react to a command from a remote control.  To accommodate these 
differences in your devices, the Harmony One uses several types of delays, or \
speed 
settings, to control your devices.

The Power On Delay is the amount of time that a device needs to “warm\

Adjusting the delay between IR commands (speed settings)
If you find the delay between IR commands is too long, especially when changing 
channels on your TV, you can change the delay time for a device that is reacting too 
slowly.
The Harmony One uses several different delays to control your devices. For more 
information on which delay you need to adjust, see Types of delays or speed settings.
To adjust the delay between IR commands, go to the Harmony Remote Software:
Click the Devices tab....

Maintaining your Harmony One
Your Harmony One contains internal software, called firmware. The remote’s firmware is 
similar to your computer’s operating system. 
Logitech updates the firmware for your remote to ensure you’re always getting the most 
from your Harmony One. Generally, when you connect your remote to your computer 
the Harmony Remote Software updates your remote automatically if new firmware is 
available. 
However, sometimes you may need to update the firmware manually.

The On Demand command isn’t on the Harmony One for the Watch 
TV Activity.
You can map the command to any unused button on the Harmony 
One or on the remote’s screen. The command is likely in our 
database, but wasn’t mapped to the Activity. If we’re missing the 
command, the Harmony One can learn it from your original remote.

commands using your old remote.

Figuring out which inputs your system uses
One of the most important parts to creating your Activities for your Harmony One is 
determining which inputs your system uses for each device. This chapter gives you some 
suggestions on how to figure out which inputs your entertainment system uses if you’re 
not sure.
Inputs are how the devices in your entertainment system are connected. For example, 
your DVD or cable box is connected to your TV through an input. If you use an AV Receiver 
to control the...
