Power Settings

Using the power settings allows you to decided how your devices behave, these settings can be adjusted using the MyHarmony desktop software, or Harmony mobile app.

• Power Setting
  Description
• Turn off when not in use (default)
  This option will power on a device when starting an Activity that includes it, and power off the device when you stop the Activity. This is most common for televisions or AV receivers that you only want powered on when in use.
• Leave powered on all the time
  This option means that Harmony will never send the power on or power off command. This may be valuable if you have a media center or set top box that you want to leave on all the time.
• Keep this device on when switching Activities
  This option will power on the device the first time it is needed, but keep it turned on when you switch from one Activity to the next. The device will be powered off when you press the Off button on your Harmony remote indicating that you want everything turned off. This is useful for game consoles that you may want to pause and leave on when switching to watch TV, and return to later on without having to stop your game.
• There are no power buttons
  This option should be used for devices that don't have power buttons at all. This is common on older AV equipment that may not have come with a remote control.
