This seems very easy but 2 days of programming and re-programming
and speaking to 2, second tier tech supports the problem
in their opinion cannot be resolved.
The trouble is I cannot map the Leviton Vizia controllers
(2) to turn off when I end the watch TV activity (push
off on the harmony). I have the RF controllers mapped
to turn lights on when I start the TV activity and to
dim lights 50% when I change to watch DVD activity and
these work flawlessly. It seems to me they would include
the ability to turn off lights using the off button. After
the easy on, I'm required to press activities button,
press page 2, Press RF control and then press All Off.
There must be an easier way?? I have attempted to add
a all off command within watch TV without success, it
will not turn off the lights. The only way I have found
to control the lights is to map from the scenes tab, both
turn on and turn off are listed under a drop down tab
and you can select only one option or to push through
the above process. Any suggestions?
As unbelievable as it is, the harmony software does not have a feature to select a scene at the end of an activity. I have spent quite some time with the Harmony Support folks and they told me that they will be adding this to their software *some time*. It has been over 3 months since I asked this and they have not yet delivered it. The following is taken from the official FAQ about scenes:
"Note: It is not possible to map a scene to the end of an activity or when you press the OFF button."
Logitech's software has such a basic flow and they can't even fix it in some decent timeframe. This says a lot about the poor quality of software development for these remote controls. Does anyone at Logitech actually use the software that they produce on a daily basis?
