Your Harmony Smart Control uses "activities" to turn your devices on and off (ex. Watch TV or Listen to Music).

When starting an activity, your remote will power on the devices needed and set them to the correct input. MyHarmony also lets you send other commands known as "sequence steps" when you start or end an activity.

There are two types of sequence steps:

• Start — sends an action at the beginning of an activity

• End — sends an action at the end of an activity

Examples of what you can do with sequence steps:

• Open the disc tray on the DVD player to accept a disc when selecting the Watch a Movie activity.

• Switch the cable box to Channel 749 when selecting the Watch TV activity.

• Dim the lights with the infrared dimmer switch when selecting the Watch a Movie activity, and raise them when ending the activity.

To add a start or end sequence step:

1. Log in to your account on myharmony.com.

2. Select your Harmony Smart Control remote from the Welcome screen.

3. Click Activities.

4. Select the activity you want to modify.

5. Click Customize this activity.

6. "Activity startup commands" is displayed showing the devices used in the activity.

   NOTE: To add an action to the end of an activity, select "Activity shutdown commands" first.

7. Click + Add Step.

8. Select the device you want to add an action for from the Select Device drop-down list.

9. Select the type of action from the Select Action drop-down list.

10. Enter the value or select the command you want to add.

    NOTE: You can also add delays between commands by clicking Add Delay (ex. open the disc tray five seconds after the DVD player turns on).

11. Click Save.

To update your smart device with these changes:

1. Log in to your Harmony app.

2. Tap Menu.

3. Tap Settings.

4. Tap Sync your Harmony.

NOTE: You can also sync your changes on the PC:

1. Connect your hub to the PC.
