Yes, without an Harmony, one needs to avoid (don't buy)
"discrete-challenged" devices (Toggle/Cycling-Only Actuated
devices (TOAD)).
Here we go again... You guys should have stopped when the dust settled the first time.
RC lurkers...: A Harmony is no better than any other remote in the market for controlling "TOAD"s. There is however a build in "Help" button that will aid you in determining whether or not the apropriate devices are powered up for whatever you are trying to control. This of course can be done by pretty much any other programable remote on the market, in one shape or form. Such a function is more easily set-up with a wizard based remote such as a Harmony or a URC MX-810. Mainly because it's done for you, but don't let statements like the one I have quoted above, lead you to believe that a Harmony is the only option for controlling "TOAD"s.
