Customizing buttons in the Harmony app

The Harmony app allows you to customize device commands that appear on your screen, each of these customizations are unique to your Activity.

For example, you may want to see the Eject and Subtitle commands on your screen when using your Watch TV Activity, while having your stereo system's sound modes appear when using a Listen to Music Activity.

Customizing app buttons

There are several commands to choose from depending on the Activity and device(s) you wish to modify. Each device you use with your Harmony account may be customized with a unique set of button assignments.
