Unfortunately, at the moment, no. The instructions claim that it can, but when I tried it, it will only work with one remote at a time. Logitech claims that they are fixing this issue.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can use more than one remote - especially since your iPhone or Android smart phone can run the Harmony app.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I use multiple instances of the remote app on a single unit. Not sure about 4, as this setup has been tested with 3.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can pair up a lot of remotes and Smartphones! Each TV will need its own Hub though. I have one Hub for my bedroom and another for my living room.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The smart control can be used to control 4 TV's and the cable box. The channel will be the same on all 4 if connected to the same cable box. The TV's can be controlled separately, depending on the brand and signal codes of the TV's.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Technically speaking, this can be done. But, it would take a ton of work. First off the TV would need line of sight with the HUB in order to receive it's IR blast. However, it does come with two ports for you to run IR sensors to devices that are hidden from view. This would be your first problem because you want to control 5 devices that are not in close proximity with the hub (4 tv's and a cable box). You could purchase IR splitters, so it's technically possible. Next, you would have to do a ton of programming on the remote to be able to control all of the different TV's and the cable box. The remote has 3 "activities" buttons and 4 other "favorite" buttons and they are also short and long press programmable. So you can program a button to turn on TV 1 with a short place and TV 2 with a long press. All of this is possible, but incredibly time consuming and almost more cumbersome than just having a remote in every room. Hope this helps.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'm not sure exactly what you're asking. If the 4 remotes control the 4 different TVs then there should be no problem using the one harmony remote (although it's capability is somewhat limited) or the smartphone / tablet app to control each TV. You might have to get a bit creative in terms of defining what button(s) on the remote or app controls what TVs.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I would think as long as the devices are in range a custom activity can be setup to control a total of 15 devices at one time
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.As long as the phone or tablet is connected to the wifi you can use it to control your channels. Use the macro function to set up each TV so the Harmony will power it on and off.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It should work so long as the 4 TVs are located in the same room.
