Adding additional features to your Harmony 1100i
It’s possible that a device’s commands are not recognized by your Harmony 1100i. Maybe you have a very rare device? Or a new one? Although we update our device list regularly, there are always new devices in the market. To remedy this, you can teach your Harmony remote how to control this device by using the device’s original remote.
Teaching your Harmony 1100i new commands using your old remote
With the Learn IR feature of the Harmony 1100i and the Harmony Remote Software, you can use your device’s original remote to “teach” your Harmony 1100i. You should need to use this feature only when Logitech’s

configuration. | |
To use the Harmony 1100i learning feature, from the
Harmony Remote Software:
1. Select the Devices tab.
2. Click Learn IR located next to the device you want to control.
3. Follow the online instructions.
Naming a new command your remote learned
When you teach your Harmony a new command, you have to give the command a name. This way, you can refer to the command by name in various locations in the Harmony Remote Software.
Logitech recommends you use the default names listed on the Learn IR page. By using the default names, you minimize the chance of a button being assigned incorrectly on the Harmony 1100i.
Naming conventions
When naming a command for which there is no default name on the Learn IR page, use the following naming conventions to make button assignment easier:
•Don’t use spaces or special characters such as /, & or * in the command name.
•Capitalize the start of words (for example, NextDisc, ModeDigital).
•Start the command name with its main function (for example, VolumeRearUp, VolumeRearDown, VolumeFrontUp). This helps group related commands in lists.
