Intrigue Technologies Inc. has announced support for its Harmony Remote Control SST-768 and SST-748 devices. The company plans to show them off working with Macs at this month’s Macworld CreativePro Conference & Expo in New York.
Harmony remotes are programmable devices aimed at the home theater enthusiast market. The devices let you program series of actions to occur with the pressing of a single button, resulting in a series of commands being sent to your home theater devices. “Watch a DVD,” for example, will switch your TV to the correct video input, switch your receiver to the DVD audio input, and cue up the DVD itself for playing.
As of macOS 10.15 Catalina, 32-bit software such as MyHarmony and Logitech Harmony Remote Software will no longer run and will require an update for it to work. If you’re using a hub-based remote, you will need to use the Harmony App on your iOS or Android device. Logitech Harmony is a line of remote controls and home automation products produced by Logitech.The line includes universal remote products designed for controlling the components of home theater systems (including televisions, set-top boxes, DVD and Blu-ray players, video game consoles) and other devices that can be controlled via infrared, as well as newer smart home hub products that can be.

Harmony universal remotes were popular among consumers seeking one remote to rule them all— cable.
Intrigue Technologies CEO Bryan McLeod explained that Mac users are a natural extension of the company’s target market, because of their affinity for new technology. “We have been receiving a tremendous number of requests for this development and are expecting strong support from Macintosh users,” he said.
These two Harmony Remote models feature USB interfaces, and that’s where Mac support comes into play. Using the Web Wizard on Harmony’s Web site, you can program your remote to perform activities like the ones described above, or program it to understand how to interface with new stereo equipment you get. As a result, you don’t have to program in macro sequences to the remote control itself by hand.
You can also use programmable data from the Harmony Web site to display TV listings on the Harmony Remote’s built-in LCD screen, with up to 14 days of programming available.

The SST-768 model retails for US$299, and the SST-748 runs $199.
A reader who wishes to remain anonymous writes in with a question about an answer.
In a recent Mac 911 you mentioned that Logitech’s Harmony Remote Software was behind the times in regard to modern devices. And while that’s true, the company created the MyHarmony app that replaces that software on newer Harmony devices. I’ve found it much better for dealing with newer devices.
I’ve now added the hashtag #mybad to that article (and have updated it). You’re correct, the MyHarmony app is the way to go if you have a modernish Harmony remote (meaning a Harmony Ultimate; Harmony Ultimate Hub; Harmony Smart Control; Harmony Touch, Harmony Ultimate One; Harmony One+; Harmony 700, 650, 600, 300, 200, 350; or Harmony Link). For those who haven’t discovered it, here’s the gist.
Adobe cs6 dll. Download your copy and make a USB connection between your Harmony remote and computer. Launch MyHarmony and you’ll be prompted to enter your user ID and password. (If you have a user ID created under the older Harmony Remote Software you’ll have to create a new account. Don’t worry, you can copy settings from the old account.) You’ll then be prompted to add devices. Under the new scheme you need only enter a device’s brand and model number rather than pick a particular kind of activity (“Watch a DVD,” for example). The software supports a couple of hundred thousand devices so it’s a good bet that your device will be found. (And if the model number you enter doesn’t exactly match, the software will make suggestions for models it has in its database.)
You then create activities by ganging together devices—add your TV, receiver, and Roku box, for example—and then choose which input to use on your receiver or TV. When you choose an activity on the remote, all the appropriate devices should switch on and play as expected. Choose a different activity and the needed devices switch on and the unnecessary gadgets switch off.
Note that MyHarmony can’t bestow features to your remote that it can’t support. For example, although the software will allow you to add devices that can be controlled only via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi—your Mac mini or Nest thermostat, for example—something like a Harmony One does you no good as it supports only IR communication.

If you have an older Harmony remote, you’re stuck with the old software. Then again, if your remote is that old, it may be time you upgraded to take advantage of the new models’ broader range of features.
