My setup:
Yamaha receiver
Panasonic plasma TV
Frontier Fios cable/dvr
Xbox One (also used for DVD and Blu-Ray)
Raspberry Pi with Kodi
Raspberry Pi with Retropie
Nintendo Wii
Nintendo GameCube
Nintendo N64
Note that the GameCube and N64 are not programmed as devices. You can’t control them with IR anyway, you have to use the game controllers and you will have to manually turn on the power switch. But you can still use the remote to set up the custom activities “Play GameCube” and “Play N64”. These activities will power up the TV, power up the receiver, and switch the receiver to whatever AV connection you are using for the game. Thus in this way you can sort of use more than 8 devices.
This remote also can operate the Xbox One menus for non game stuff like watching Youatube and it also nicely runs all functions of Kodi media center on the Rasberry Pi with a Flirc controller installed. Nice!
Amazingly this same remote is still in the Logitech product line all these years later, and thankfully so. This is about as good as you are going to get and the price is great compared to the far more expensive new models. It’s simple and it’s effective. It gets the job done. Just read all the reviews on those expensive new models and see if you think people are getting a better experience for hundreds of dollars more. Even after all these years and with all of the brains and technology in the world, it seems no one can solve the riddle of the universal remote. Spend all the money you want, none are perfect and there will always be frustration with the setup and operation. Some of this has to do with the zillion different things out there that need to be controlled, some has to do with the lack of comprehensive standards, and some has to do with the inherent limitations of the technology. At least with this one you won’t spend a lot of money, and in my experience it will work fine if you understand the limitations.
Basically, as others have said, you simply must keep the remote pointed at your system until everything has had a chance to turn on and switch to the correct settings. This can take a few seconds, but this is an eternity for people who cannot manage the task and start waving it around as soon as they press a button. You can avoid 90% of all your problems if you simply keep that remote pointed towards the equipment until it is done! It really is as simple as that.
If you mess this up, things will “get out of sync”. For example, the remote might think the tv is on when it is really off. So things won’t work right. You can press Help and the built-in wizard will extract you from your mess, MOST of the time. If not, just manually turn everything off and start over, and this time, you got it, KEEP IT POINTED RIGHT, and then it will work.
Seriously, I can sit my bloated fat butt on the couch, day in and day out for months on end, using this remote hundreds and hundreds of times to watch TV, watch movies, watch YouTube, play video games, and on and on, and it will work flawlessly every single time. Then I hand it to someone else to watch TV, and after they inevitably ask me “how do I use it to watch TV?” I say “press the button that says ‘Watch TV’ (DUH) and keep it pointed at the TV until everything is on”. And they inevitably mess it up and holler “it’s not working! What do I do now?”. And why is this so? Because they did not keep it pointed at the TV, that’s why.
Note that this is not a limitation of this particular remote, this is due to the inherent limitations of the technology. When you want to do something like watch TV on a full theater system, you are using a macro in the remote to accomplish this. A macro is nothing more than a series of IR commands sent out to the different parts of the system, such as: 1) turn on the tv, 2) set the tv to the correct input, 3) turn on the receiver, 4) set the receiver to the correct input. These have to be done one after the other, not all at once, in order to make everything work right. It doesn’t take long, but it still does take a few seconds, and those few seconds are just a bit too long for all those people who cannot manage the simple task of keeping the remote pointed in one direction until it is done.
The other limitation of the technology is that there is no “state awareness” for the remote. All this means is this: the remote has no way to “know” if the power for your TV or other device is ON or OFF. This is true for any IR remote. In the case of the Harmony remotes, they “assume” that the power is off for everything in your system when you are telling it to turn things on, such as when you want to do something like watch TV. If the remote assumes your TV is off when you press Watch TV and it is actually turned on then it will send the power toggle command and turn your TV off. Now it’s off when it should be on, and you are scratching your head staring dumbly at it and wondering why you cannot see your American Idol. The wizard in the Logitech remotes at least tries to bail you out by using a logic tree and having you press some buttons and answer some questions so it can get everything where it should be.
Even the All Off button is not guaranteed to turn everything off. Because if something is ALREADY OFF when it thinks it is ON then the All Off button will turn it ON! Got that?
For anyone still reading this far, this situation is due to the common use of the single “toggle” power button, that is, the button you press on your TV, receiver, or whatever to turn the power on and to turn the power off. This translates to an IR remote code that simply toggles the power to the opposite of whatever state it is in. Now some components also use what is called “discrete” IR signals. This is a fancy way of saying there is one code to power off and a different code to power on. If the component is on and you send it a discrete on code, it simply ignores it and stays on. But if you send it a discrete off code then it turns off. This is a much more nifty way to turn things on and off with a remote, because now the All Off button could be 100% reliable to actually turn everything off, and this would give you a foolproof bailout if you mess it up (by now, you should know how you messed it up right?). If things aren’t right you could just hit the All Off button and everything would go off and then the remote would have a known starting point for you to try again. Sadly, many components don’t use the discrete power codes, only the toggle codes. Which means, if you messed up and didn’t get something turned on then when you press All Off you will actually turn that one on. Then when you press your command which will logically send the power toggle command to turn on, it will promptly turn OFF! Now, you have truly descended into madness and have thrown your remote through the TV screen.
30 years of consumer electronics and we are all still stuck in this same boat. We’ll have flying cars before this gets solved.
Update August 24/2015
Since using the remote since August 8th I have discovered it suffers from some very, very annoying bad habits. It will always confuse programmed device inputs. As an example, if I select "Watch TV" it will turn on, select the correct devices and inputs. If I turn all off via the "All off" command and then select "Watch a Movie" It will turn on all devices correctly but select the HDMI input for the TV, not for the Blue Ray DVD player. If I correct this and then turn off this function via the "All Off" command and then reselect "Watch TV" it will then select the HDMI input for the DVD player, not the one for the Samsung set top box! Now you can use the "Help" command right! Well, when I do this to correct this issue it changes the audio input on the receiver from "Aux" to F-Aux which is a front panel Aux input on this receiver which of course is wrong! I have reprogrammed it 4 times trying different device sequencing with no change. I have carefully reviewed all sections and they are correct. It is rather easy to program the required device/input selections but and when you try to "Sync" the device it will take 2 - 3 try's as there seems to be some software conflict between the remote and the provided Harmony programming software. This replaced a $20.00 six years old remote that was beginning to fail which never ever had this state of confusion! I have tried to call them but after a long, lonely wait gave up! I had E-mailed for technical assistance but if I do not hear back soon will return it as defective. 5 stars to one star! I write very few negative reviews! I will keep you informed.
Update 09/09/2015
I have been working with Logitech customer service since the last update. My contact has been a person by the name of Paul. I must say that he has been working hard to resolve this issue via about a dozen or more emails. To date, I am sorry to say the issue is yet to be resolved. The HDMI input selection remains to be an issue in that if the watch TV selection is shut down via power off the next time the Watch a Movie selection is made the TV HDMI input is incorrectly selected and visa a versa. I will nevertheless say that my contact, Paul, has been trying hard and has been quickly communicating with me on a daily basis via email. My compliments to Paul!
Update 09/23/15
I have continued to work with Paul at Logitech all this time and after many emails, a video, and even a photo of the OEM remote we have reached success as of this day. I was at one point ready to throw in the towel but chose to hang in with Paul. I came to view the issue as a real challenge and resolved to provide as much feedback as I could. I also have come to the conclusion that this older Dynex TV (Best Buy private label) may have been a significant contributor to the entire problem. The OEM remotes command sequence appears to have been the source and Paul, the Logitech rep had to find an atypical workaround. I am changing my rating to 5 stars to recognize Paul, the Logitech customer service rep for his dedicated effort in bringing this to a successful conclusion. Do understand that Logitech must find the thousands of command sequences for thousands of various products both new and old. I would guess this becomes an even greater issue when dealing with private label devices like my now ancient Dynex Best Buy private label TV. Hats off to Paul!!!
Up Date 10/22/15
Well, so far the remote seems to be working OK. However, if you accidentally select an incorrect function the remote may become stupid until you turn all devices off by selecting each device independently of the master off key. I have also observed that you need to have a large selection of new batteries. I have thus far had to replace the batteries 3 times. In my view, this is excessive even after reducing the screen turn off time to the fastest. I have found that if the battery drops to 1.37 volts vs. 1.5 at least when they are new the remote will sporadically shut down and reboot. When this occurs it will then select incorrect inputs on various devices. To correct this you may need to sync the remote again as you did the first time. While the remote works in a fashion it has continued to be less than perfect. This remote replaced one I purchased through Amazon several years ago for $20.00! That remote always performed very well but was failing after so long in use. If you have a basic system like I do I would suggest another more simplistic remote that may not cover every function but will at least turn your equipment off / on and select the correct inputs consistently. By the way, this much more expensive remote does not provide access to all the functions the original equipment remote provided by the device manufacturer.
Up Date 05/30/2016
Well, I just reprogrammed the remote again adding a Kinivo 3 device HDMI switch and all is working extremely well. Adding the Kinivo HDMI switch solved many problems and as of now the remote handles multiple source selections, HDMI input selections, and the Kinivo HDMI switch selections with ease and without fail! A real pleasure and a powerful remote. I intend to upgrade to the five device Kinivo HDMI switch and be able to handle a total of 7 source devices with ease!

I like its activities function a lot.For example by simply pressing movies button,everything needed to watch a movie like TV ,Av amp,bluray player get switched on and all the relevant HDMI inputs also get selected.
you can program every button according to your choice.It remembers all the favorite channels on Tatasky.It does so many other things.
I love this remote.I don't know how I survived all these years without this.Highly recommend.It is worth every rupee we pay
Surprisingly I am able to control some features of amazon firestick attached to my sony tv
Este te permite generar secuencias de comandos entre muchos dispositivos y poner pausas por lo que pude configurar secuencias para prender TV con amplificador con Apple TV e iniciar netflix. Se configura esto en un software en la computadora.
TIP, algunos comandos por alguna razón no te deja agregarlos a secuencias de comandos pero ahí lo qué haces es que tomas el control remoto original del dispositivo y lo apuntas al Harmony para que aprenda el comando y los comandos que aprende el Harmony si te deja meterlos en secuencias entonces si no te aparece la opción que quieres al armar una secuencia pues grabas el comando.
No es el software más amigable del mundo para configurar pero pues ya que te queda funcionando ya no lo necesitas.

パソコンに専用ソフトをインストールし、USBでつなげないとリモコン情報を学習できないようです。その際メールアドレスでアカウントを作る必要があるようです。
・メジャーなメーカーの情報は登録無用
DELLのディスプレイやヤマハのアンプはリモコン情報が既に存在していて、機種名を入れて同期するるだけで操作可能になりました。ただ、DELLのディスプレイは実際のリモコンには無いボタンが大量に登録されていて邪魔でしたが。
・学習修正の操作が良く分からない
アイ・オー・データのディスプレイのリモコン情報は無かったので、手動で学習させる必要がありました。パソコンから指示されるがままに操作をすればいいのですが、学習するボタンを間違えた場合に、その場で訂正する方法が分からず、最初からやり直しました。それとDirection Upの意味が分からず、とっさに学習をスキップしてしまい、方向キー上の事だと気付くも、スキップを取り消す方法が分からず、また最初からやり直しました。英語が分かれば、恐らく何も問題は無い筈なのですが。
・画面が貧弱すぎる
この機種は画面に4つ分のボタン操作しか割り当てられず、5つ割り当てられるRC1400に比べると貧弱です。RC1400と違いカラー画面になってはいますが、そんな事はリモコンにはどうでも良い事です。
・機器切り替えが貧弱
RC1400はディスプレイやアンプ等の機器の切り替えには専用ボタンがありました。この機種は切り替えも画面ボタンなので、一旦機器切り替え画面に戻る必要があり、操作ステップ数がRC1400に比べると増えてしまいます。
リモコンとしての完成度はRC1400の方が上でした。この機種が勝っているのは、海外でメジャーな機種の場合は学習操作が無用なこと程度です。まぁ、画面付きの学習リモコンが1万円未満なのはとても珍しいので、贅沢は言っていられませんが。
