Logitech Harmony 665

Setup: Roku Ultra streamer (2020 model) TCL R635 tv Yamaha RX-V4ABL receiver Harmony 665 universal remote (including since I have Watch Roku Box activities set up). Have had this issue periodically where when I open up an app on the Roku Ultra, it will be zoomed in, and if i tried to open a video, the video will be black (but with audio). When this happens, I go on the Roku Ultra to Menu>Display>720>OK>Looks Good, then immediately Menu>Display>4k>OK>Looks Good. This fixes it.

Using the provided software and integrated compatibility lists, I am able to run "macro"-like tasks whenever buttons are pressed. IE: I press the TV button and it turns on my TV, changes to Input 1, turns on my receiver, and turns on my cable box. From there, the Volume buttons control the receiver, Channels, List, Guide, etc.

Controls my Xbox and stuff like my Apple TV with no issue. Being able to customise the remote with button mapping helps a great deal (the harmony actually has 4 coloured buttons that match perfectly to the face buttons on an Xbox controller).

I also want it to work if the internet goes down too. The Logitech remote is the most obvious thing that still relies on "the cloud" but I've made peace with that as it's one of the few that works really well.

I like to sleep cool, but go to bed warm, so I let HA control all my thermostats, or even make smart thermostats for dumb heaters with a smart wall outlet and a temp sensor. works great!.

Simplest, best and cheapest solution is get a Logitech Harmony 665 remote for $60.00 from Best Buy. It will have every command and you can put them in the order of most importance to you.

Best Buy still stocks the Harmony 665 which will allow you to control everything in your setup via IR including your Apple TV 4K. Setting up certain activities will allow you to power everything on/off together.

Stopped playing nice with my Logitech Harmony - it once was perfectly fine. Since the move from GPM to YT music it is terrible at media lookup and commands. Won't even default to using Youtube Music as the source and defaults **instead to regular youtube** for often-crappy fan-made covers of popular songs or worse, pulls the videos for these up and plays them on a screen in another part of the house. Iand I have set the default music service to YT Music and set up rooms inthe house so wtf.

(If you have a printed out instruction manual that came with your cable box and remote for it, a list of codes *might* be included on that also, but an online version of that list is likely more up-to-date. A better solution would probably be to just buy one of the **Logitech Harmony universal remotes** (like this one, the model **665**, at the link below), because those Logitech Harmony universal remotes can control absolutely any device (new or old), and you can custom set each button on the Logitech remote to control any function of any device that you have, for example, if you want to set the volume button on the Logitech remote to control the Roku soundbar's volume (instead of the TV set's volume) when the Logitech Harmony remote is in the watch TV mode.
