How to Set Up Your Logitech Harmony Elite

Easy 20-30 minutes

What You'll Need

  • Logitech Harmony Elite remote
  • Harmony Hub (included)
  • IR mini blasters (included)
  • Charging station
  • Smartphone with Harmony app
  • Wi-Fi network

Step 1: Set Up the Harmony Hub

Place the Harmony Hub near your entertainment center in an unobstructed location. Connect the power adapter and wait 30 seconds for it to boot up. Connect IR mini blasters if your devices are in a cabinet.

Step 2: Position the Charging Station

Place the charging station in a convenient location. Connect its power cable and plug into an outlet.

Step 3: Prepare the Remote

The Harmony Elite remote comes pre-paired with the hub. Place it on the charging station to ensure it's fully charged before setup.

Step 4: Download the App

Download the Harmony app from the App Store or Google Play. The app is used for initial setup and adding devices.

Step 5: Complete Setup via App

Open the app, enable Bluetooth on your phone, and select "Set Up New Hub." Connect to your Wi-Fi network and sign in or create a Harmony account.

Step 6: Add Your Devices

Harmony will discover networked devices automatically. Add additional devices manually by searching the database or entering model numbers. Include all your TVs, receivers, streaming devices, game consoles, and smart home devices.

Step 7: Create Activities

Set up Activities like "Watch TV," "Watch a Movie," or "Play Games." Each Activity configures multiple devices with a single touch - turning on the TV, switching to the right input, and powering up associated equipment.

Step 8: Customize the Remote

Use the touchscreen to customize favorite channel icons, adjust button functions, and personalize your experience. The remote syncs changes automatically.
