The answer posted by "Logitech" that the hub can be controlled only by a device on the same wifi network, is incorrect. I have now verified that after enabling the "Cloud" option in hub setup through the Harmony app, the hub can be controlled by the harmony app running on a smartphone that is not on the same wifi network.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Absolutely! You would simply have to download the app and program your smartphone to their system. I do it all the time to mess with my wife and son.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.According to the Harmony Hub app, the answer is yes. There is a "cloud access" feature which should permit access from a remote location. I have not tried this myself, but if it works as described, you should be able to issue commands from locations outside the local network. There is a procedure to set this up. By default, it is turned off.
