When watching TV:
Assign Previous Channel to F1.
Guide to F2
I assume you are using the default Harmony page on your remote that auto comes when you link Harmony (ie you haven’t tried to create your own custom remote scenes?)
Im going to go out on a limb and say it’s likely the existing “keep authenticated” strategy Allonis is using.
I also get an unresponsive or very very slow Harmony response if myServer is running and I attempt to use a real Elite to check something. I need to shutdown myServer and I can then use the Elite.
I proposed a different method a while ago using a timed authenticate method. That way myServer isn’t constantly authenticating with the hub when it doesn’t need to.
Go into the Designer and on edit the Harmony page.
On the F1 button set the short press command to be AV|{{harmony_active_device_{{clientname}}}}~Press~{{harmony_active_activityid_{{clientname}}}}~PrevChannel
On the F2 button the short press command is AV|{{harmony_active_device_{{clientname}}}}~Press~{{harmony_active_activityid_{{clientname}}}}~Guide
The two sets of server variables are tracking which Harmony hub is active and what activity is running.
Save the page and then on the remote reselect the Harmony so its page gets refreshed. The F1 and F2 buttons should be active.
To see what all the commands would look like just watch the myServer event log as you press the virtual buttons on the remotes screen.
