The other problem with harmony remotes is that you cannot
setup true macros. Everything is activity based and activities
cannot be run independently of whatever else you are doing.
In other words, you couldn't run a "turn on kitchen lights"
activity while watching TV because the remote would then
power off the TV activitiy devices and then turn on the
kitchen lights.
True but even from an activity, you can press "Device" and select the 543 device to adjust lighting. It would be nice if there were a true macro mode, though, so you could press "Device" then "Watch movie". Perhaps a future upgrade will permit that or perhaps if I look further into the remote there is a way. In the meantime, you can at least set up the 543 as a Device, and when you enter "Movie" activity for instance, it will automatically turn off the lights.
