Harmony mobile app notifications

The Harmony app supports starting and controlling Activities from the Today view in iOS, or the Notification drawer and lock screen in Android. Once an Activity has been started, there’s no need to launch the Harmony app for simple control.

Start up to six Activities from your device's Today view in iOS, or the Notification drawer and lock screen in Android. Harmony app notifications are available whenever you're connected to the same Wi‑Fi network as your hub. You'll also be notified whenever an Activity starts or ends.

You're never more than a swipe away from being able to pause your show.
