“Can I use this to control lighting and open a door? I have a German door that can be operated electronically. I want to be able to unlock my door and turn certain lights on from my Apple iPhone just before arriving home. Does this system do that and how does it work? What do you need to make it work?”

If your lighting and door opener currently have an IR (infrared) remote, then yes. In fact, I have my remote controlling my Lutron light switch. The Harmony series remotes can learn any command that another remote sends out. However, it does not work with RF (radio frequency) remotes. The software walks you through the process, but basically, you point the other remote at the back of the Harmony remote, press the desired button when the software tells you to and the remote learns the signal. The software lets you program just about any button to do whatever function you want. -- Micheal

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Unfortunetly, this system is not capable of turning on lights or unlocking doors (unless the door or light uses infrared as it's communication medium, which is very unlikely.). However, you can look into a system like Vera which has those kinds of capabilities and you can control it with your iPhone. You can ever add geofencing capabilities so when you are arriving home it will do what you want it to. I would look into Vera or SmartThings for what you are looking for. I will say that this device is a nice addition of the Vera, so it's definitely something to consider.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No. Assuming your lock is z-wave compatible, what you need is a z-wave hub such as a Samsung SmartThings Hub.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes it can. I would check on Logitech's website to see if their inventory of over 200,000 devices is compatible with your lighting and door system.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I believe if you have a remote for the door, yes. If if it is IP controlled and not found when searching for devices, I would say no. If has a remote it can read the commands and you can save those commands.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.No you will need separate hardware for that, this system only works with home AV equipment.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can use this device with over 5,000 Bluetooth-enabled, Harmony Hub-compatible devices.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Sorry but I don't know. Get make, product number, etc and go to HHarmony.com to see if it will control it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It does work with multiple home automation systems. You would need to do some research on their website to see if your devices are supported.
