Logitech Harmony remote (setup guide to replicate the Apple)

[CaliforniaMini]

Great info here, Thanks!!!
I just picked up my second Harmony tonight - a 720. I have a 520 for the bedroom and love it. The 720 is similar, but with a color screen and a couple more activity buttons and more customizable. I should like it just as much.
Followed the original directions here and got everything to work except sleep. It just toggles between play and pause, but no sleep. But its now 1am and I've been up since 6am yesterday. I'm going to toggle myself to bed and put myself to sleep. I'll play with it more later.

I think Logitec has the Mini in their Database now... I was able to do it with the serial number.

It has the tv in the database althought it really is just the remote. So you can use it for both the mini and tv. The tv is under media pc.

I tried to use my harmony with my Bootcamp installation running Windows Media Center, but it seems that the remote is unresponsive. Could it be that the remote only works under the OSX operating system?

The AppleRemote does work with Windows, but in a limited capacity. Since Boot Camp 1.2, the remote would launch iTunes. You could then control system volume, play control, tracks etc. The IR sensor will only pick up these apple remote commands.

Because your using the harmony to replicate the apple remote, I assume these are the only commands that you will get to work. I have not seen anything about having the apple remote work with WMC. You may need to get an IR receiver to increase your harmony's abilities in WMC.

Finally got my Logitech going now, but had to learn most of the IR codes. Oh well.

Anyone know how to do a button hold for 3-4 seconds? According to the FAQ, I should be able to learn the IR in RAW mode and hold it for as long as I need. But when I do, it tells me that there's poor IR quality and I should try holding shorter times.

I'd like to use that for putting the Mini into sleep mode.

Rob,

I was trying to do the same thing. I never could get it to take anything for the 'long press'. I eventually gave up and had my logitech swap the inputs of my LCD and the mini falls to sleep at its own pace.

Are you guys able to set your inter-key delay small enough? For my Logitech, I can only go as low as 100ms and that's still waaaay too slow between button presses.

For instance, in either the EyeTV menu or the Front Row menu, if I press and hold the up or down arrows of my Logitech, it takes several seconds to get from the top to the bottom of a menu.

With the Apple Remote, I can get from top to bottom in under a second.

If I press any Logitech button repeatedly, I have to wait at least a second for them to register. It's way more than the 100ms that I've got it programmed for. Hmm.

I just found this thread on the Logitech forums, and they recommend learning the Apple Remote IR as "raw format".

Trouble is, in my Harmony software, there is no option to learn as raw IR. Only buttons on the Learn IR page say nothing about raw or formats.

Bottom right on the screen you've got a button called "customize" or something like that.

If you press it, you will have a new column on the Learn IR page with the raw format learnings
