I currently am using a Harmony controller but dog chewed at it and now doesn't work. Does a new controller have to be programmed? null

Question

Based on the fact that you already have the same model remote setup you should be able to log into my Harmony and transfer the settings to the new remote. You may have to still turn off remote assist and things like that but all of your accessories components and activities should transfer to the new remote with no issue

It depends on how old your controller was that no long works. I had an old Harmony One and replaced it with the 650 and I had to reprogram it on the Harmony website. Once you program it and save it, it will be available for updating if you add new devices or activities you want to control or if for some reason you lose the programing on your current remote. The programing process is straight forward, just follow the prompts on the Harmony website or get the geek squad to help you.

Absolutely. It must be programmed as the first one was. Sorry about the dog issue.

if you sycn'd it to the program it should pull from internet and reset up this remote, like the old one

Yes, everything you want to control has to be programmed. And, it is so cumbersome to be pushing too many buttons every time you need to adjust the volume, change the channel, or even to power it down. Very Frustrating, indeed.
