But that's the same thing that would happen with any Harmony
remote if your equipment has discrete on/off and input
selection. What's happening is when you select an activity
or OFF on the second remote, it's attempting to start
or end the activity but because it's using discrete commands
it appears as if nothing is happening.
If the second remote actually KNEW that you had started
an activity on the first remote then it would change to
the activity screen.
Your scenario would not work if your equipment did not
use discretes. The remotes do not communicate with each
other.
All my components use PwrToggle commands, none of them use discreete on/off commands. Therefore the 890 Pros do keep track of what's on, at least.
Also I can tell by the LEDs on my TV that after I turn off everything with one remote, when I press off on the other remote no IR signals are being sent to attempt to turn off the TV again.
