Why is Logitech discontinuing Harmony?

What Happened to the Harmony Hub? – For years, Logitech ruled the market for universal remote controls with its Harmony line of remotes. The company’s product line culminated with the Harmony Hub, a product designed for both home theater enthusiasts and owners of smart home devices. The Harmony Hub, introduced in 2014, is a small puck-like device that connects to your other home theater equipment using Bluetooth and IR technologies. The Hub then connects to your home network via Wi-Fi and can be controlled via the included remote control hand unit, the Harmony Hub smartphone app, or an Amazon Echo device via the Alexa voice assistant.

In April 2021, Logitech announced that it was discontinuing all universal remote controls, including the Harmony Hub.
The company officials stated they wanted to focus on the core business of computer mice and keyboards, which were flourishing in the work-from-home environment of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Users worldwide were shocked and disappointed, as Logitech remotes were the most popular units out there.

Can I use Harmony remote without hub?

IR Control Method Harmony Hub-based remotes allow you to assign devices to be controlled by a specific IR port or the Harmony handheld remote itself. Assigning a device to a specific IR port will help isolate it from other devices so you can precisely control the commands that your devices get.

The Harmony mobile app can only communicate with the hub, so devices assigned to be controlled by “Remote Only” cannot be controlled using the app.
The Harmony remote must still remain within range of the hub, regardless of if all devices are configured to be controlled by the remote.
The Harmony remote must be pointed directly at any devices assigned to be controlled by the remote. This includes when starting or stopping an Activity.
Devices controlled using Bluetooth wireless technology, such as the PlayStation 4 must be controlled using the hub.
The Harmony Companion and Harmony Smart Control remotes do not have IR emitters and rely on the hub and IR mini blaster(s) for all IR control.

Do you have to use the Harmony app to pair this device?

r/logitechharmony – “You have to use the Harmony App to pair this device” after adding Nvidia Shield Pro Using Myharmony with my Harmony Elite Remote and hub I was able to add my new Nvidia Shield Pro and the activities associated with it and then sync everything.

Everything looks good until I go to the shield activity. First strange thing is the harmony touch window comes down when I go to the Shield activity. Then when I push a button I get The message “You have to use the Harmony App to pair this device”, However the remote is paired with the hub as it works with all other devices.

None of the harmony buttons are programed for the Nvidia Shield. I am able to go to my other activities and the remote works fine so it surely is paired with the hub. I synced and re-paired the Harmony Elite remote multiple times but still the same issue when on the Nvidia Shield activity.
