How to Set Up Your Logitech Harmony Hub

Easy 15-20 minutes

What You'll Need

  • Logitech Harmony Hub
  • Power adapter
  • IR mini blaster (included)
  • Smartphone or tablet with Harmony app
  • Wi-Fi network

Step 1: Position the Hub

Place the Harmony Hub near your entertainment devices in an unobstructed location. The hub uses IR, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi to control devices. If your equipment is in a closed cabinet, place the hub inside and the IR mini blaster outside to control your TV.

Step 2: Connect Power

Connect the power adapter to the Harmony Hub and plug into a wall outlet. Wait about 30 seconds for the hub to fully power on.

Step 3: Connect the IR Mini Blaster

If needed, connect the IR mini blaster to the back of the hub. This extends IR coverage to reach devices that don't have direct line of sight to the hub.

Step 4: Download the App

Download the Harmony app from the App Store or Google Play. Open the app and select "Set Up New Hub."

Step 5: Pair via Bluetooth

Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your phone. The app will search for and connect to your hub via Bluetooth. Once connected, enter your Wi-Fi credentials to connect the hub to your network.

Step 6: Create an Account

Sign in to your existing Harmony account or create a new one. Your device configurations and Activities will be stored in the cloud.

Step 7: Add Your Devices

Harmony will scan your network for compatible devices (Sonos, Roku, Philips Hue, etc.). Tap "Add Device" to manually add additional equipment like TVs, cable boxes, AVRs, game consoles, and Blu-ray players.

Step 8: Create Activities

Harmony uses "Activities" instead of controlling devices individually. The app will suggest Activities like "Watch TV" or "Play a Game" based on your devices. Customize what each Activity does when started.
