About the device

The hub works with almost all modern models of phones and tablets, as well as devices based on Android 4.0 and above. After connecting the hub to the network, you need to download the mobile application and then do the whole process of setting up with its help.

Setting up the device is simple, although the application will be a bit hard to understand. If you want to use a smartphone to control the smart home, it is better to use the mobile version. Once the hub is connected to the Wi-Fi network, it automatically recognizes all compatible devices connected to that network. Everything else can be added manually by entering the company name and model number.  You are able to  connect even devices absent from the Logitech database.

Troubleshooting the Logitech harmony hub

Here are the first things to consider when trying to fix the device:

  • Very often, a problem can be solved by rebooting completely. Try turning it off, waiting, and then turning it back on after 15 seconds and checking everything.
  • Also, a frequent problem is an inability to connect. Often this is due to problems with the Internet; check your password; it should not contain any smiley faces. If everything is okay, try restarting your internet or turning it off from power at all, wait and turn it back on.
  • The harmony remote control does not connect or does not work at all. Try holding down the red button at the top and then turn it back on. Check that there is no external damage. Also, if it was dropped, the internal parts might be damaged. This might not work at all.
  • The LED will light red. It means the device is synchronizing with the site when updates are being received. A firmware or user configuration update may have been initiated by the remote or reset harmony hub. The LED will blink red during firmware installation.
