Some of our older remotes, such as Harmony One, 880, 900, 1000, and 1100, use the Logitech Harmony Remote Software v7.x to add devices and get everything set up (see list). You can also use the software to make configuration changes in the future. Harmony One, 600, 650 and 700 remote users may upgrade to MyHarmony if they previously used remote software 7.x to set up their remote.
Regarding to control all of the smart devices that is connected to the software. There is a lot of aspect that you can do with this Logitech software since it is design to bring better life. With only one remote to control everything.

You can make sure if you do not need more remote control on your coffee table with this software. You can select which device that you want to control and you can easily adjust the setting based on your need.
All Harmony remotes are set up online using an external configuration software. For all models this can be done using a computer running Microsoft Windows or MacOS to which they need to be connected via USB cable; the Elite and Ultimate models can also be configured wirelessly using a smartphone app for Android or iOS.
Early versions of the remote software required a web browser; newer versions are Java-based. The software requires constant Internet connectivity while programming the remote, as remote control codes are downloaded from Logitech. This method allows updates to the product database, remote codes, and macro sequences to be easily distributed. This also allows Logitech to survey their market in order to determine products for investigation and research.[citation needed] Harmony control software is available for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. A group of developers was working on Harmony Remote software for the Linux operating system; as of February 2012[update] the latest available release was dated August 2010.[6][7]
While it's marketed for the Xbox 360 segment, this remote must be said to be part of the 5xx series. It runs the same software. The Harmony 360 is pre-configured to be used with the Xbox 360 console, and has special buttons, X, Y, A, B and media center control, correlating with the same as found on native Xbox controllers. It has a back-lit LCD screen and uses four AAA batteries.[12]The hardware layout is mostly the same as the 550. The extra up/down arrows of the 550 is removed to make room for the colored X, Y, A and B buttons beneath the play and pause rows. This would make it the remote in the 500 series with the most hardware buttons, 54 (counting the four direction arrow keys). It can control up to 12 devices.
The Harmony 510/515 is an entry-level remote that is essentially a replacement to the 500 series and the Xbox 360 version. It has the same number of buttons as the 525 and features colored buttons typical on most satellite boxes. It has a four-button, monochrome LCD display. This remote is software limited to controlling up to five devices. Like its mid-range cousins, the 520 and 550, it has no recharge pod and uses AAA batteries instead.[13] Unlike previous 500 series models, these newer models have been limited to 5 devices in software, yet sell for the same prices.
The harmony 550/555 remotes are variants of the 525 remote. Compared to the model 525, the 550 and 555 have two extra buttons, and are made of higher grade materials with different colors. The 550 and 555 models both have a sound and a picture button that changes the button mapping on the remote, allowing for reuse of the same physical buttons for different set of functionality. 52 buttons.
I have got basic functions working from Logitech 525 IR remote as well, and also using Mobile Airmouse Pro running on iPod Touch (via wi-fi). The Airmouse software is quite good, e.g. for simple surfing to find and run online video.
Previous Harmony remotes like the Harmony Elite work directly with smart home devices through the Harmony app. The Express instead offloads all smart home control outside of your home theater to Amazon's Alexa voice assistant. Alexa's list of compatible smart home devices is just as impressive as Harmony's list of compatible home theater devices. The Harmony Express acts as a standalone Alexa device, so the hub still ultimately controls your smart home just like it controls your home theater, but that control is performed through Amazon's software instead of Logitech's.
I took the easy way out on my Harmony 650. Bought a $20 FLIRC USB dongle from Amazon, loaded the Kodi profiel on it and paired my Harmony to it. Done. Beauty is I can use the FLIRC interface to map functions to the remote and vice versa with Harmony software. Basically acts like a keyboard paired to the Harmony. 2ff7e9595c
