Harmony Remotes

[lkaufma1]

Hi All - 

Just picked up this tv and can't seem to get the Harmony One to recongize the "Home" button.  This is the new Magic Motion remote from LG with no numbers on it.

That's probably because that remote uses it's own RF and Bluetooth as well as IR.  I would guess that the Home button is probably the button used to activate the RF or Bluetooth mode for the remote.  Cover the original remote's front end and press the Home button and see if the TV responds to know for sure.

When you set up the TV with the software, it automatically pulls down LG remote settings.  Do those not work?  I have the same TV on order from Amazon but if the Harmony won't control it, the TV is going back.

Please update when you can.

P.S. I believe the comment above is correct and the magic remote is Bluetooth.

Same problem with the 47LM6700, no way to get the "Home" button.  Sure hope to find a solution as the LG Magic Remote is really a pain.

Dont use the Magic remote to teach the Harmony the Home button code. Use the other regular remote - it also has a Home button and it has the same functionality. Works fine for me.

90% of the time it is RF and thats why it will not work, You can always contact your TV manufacturer and see if they have an IR  HEX code for your HOME command, if they do give logitech a shout and they can put it into your account

Solution:

As soon as you pair your remote with your TV, some of the commands cease being sent out via Infrared. 

You can "Un pair" your remote by holding down the Home and Back Buttons at the same time  for about 5 seconds. 

You know your remote is not paired when the cursor does not appear on screen when you shake the remote.

After un Pairing the remote, Teach your Harmony remote the IR command in the way described in the manual. Test your new command.

Once you're able to reach the home page using your Harmony remote, you can again pair the magic remote (push the OK Wheel) and BOTH remotes will work.

Professor0 you are the man!  Just purchased my LG55LM7600 smart TV and the harmony one and was about to send back the remote for the harmony 900 with RF capabilities, but after simply unpairing the remote, (this disabled the RF function) and began sending IR again for the "Home" and "My apps" buttons so I could program them to other buttons on the Harmony remote. I can now simply toggle around with arrow buttons in the LG home menu and get to Netflix and Hulu etc.  Its not the magic curser, but a fair IR compromise given no RF capabilities with the Harmony one.

Cheers brotha!

To give you a little more information in reguards to the 900 and RF abilities, the 900 cannot control RF devices, it can only control it's own RF Blaster, which in turn sends IR to devices.

For those who paired the harmony wand with the magic wand, which keys did you assign for the home, 3D, and my apps buttons? Thanks.
