The Harmony app also recognized the hub at this point and the MyHarmony software directed us to complete setup in the app. These are basically the actions you designate to certain one-touch buttons on the remote. We connected the hub to our computer via the provided Micro-USB cord and were able to connect to our Wi-Fi network, enter our Harmony account info, and move forward with the steps to start adding devices and what Harmony calls activities.

We plugged in our hub and visited the App Store to download the app, but when we tried to connect to the Hub it hung for about five minutes.Īt this point, we decided to try the desktop software for Mac and that did the trick. Simply plug the hub in near your entertainment setup and download the Harmony app.
Lifewire / Yoona Wagener Setup Process: Not lightning quick and a little clumsyĪt first blush, it seems that setting up the Harmony Companion will be a breeze. It connects with the remote through RF signals and communicates with specific equipment through Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or infrared signals, depending on the type of device. The hub is the primary liaison between all devices and the remote. In the bottom center of the front of the hub, there’s an LED light that indicates whether it’s connected, powered on, pairing, or syncing with the remote or mobile app. There are several ports in the back: one for the USB cable for set up via a Mac or PC or the power adapter, and two IR mini blaster ports for extended coverage to devices behind cabinets. There’s also the Harmony Hub, a black and glossy square that measures 4.16 x 4.88 x 1 inches. The buttons are responsive and don’t require a lot of fussing over, although the short- versus long-push actions are sometimes difficult to discern. It measures 7.25 inches in length, and has a nice ergonomic arch, which makes it easy to cradle in your hand. First, there’s the remote itself, which is lightweight at 4.2 ounces and quite slim at just. While it lacks a touchscreen or flashy design elements, the Harmony Companion is still pretty sleek.
