Seems like you deleted the custom macro we just created...can you not use the system while we try to recreate it?

When I select Roku from the main screen, the channel page on the remote opens. None of the channel icons are responsive. It does not navigate to the Roku start page on the TV, where I could use the hard buttons.

This is what I'd like to accomplish from the Smart Remote start screen.
  1. Use Roku.  We'd like one icon to start and the ROKU and AVR.
  2. TV: One icon the start and control smart TV and AVR
  3. Blue Ray: One icon to start and control blue ray
I will discontinue Harmony once the above is operational. I will probably keep it as a failsafe but not use it.

I am so sorry. I was watching the game. I turned everything off and will stay out. Again, my apologies.

i don't want to mess you up again.
Is it okay if I lower the TV volume?

Hi Jim,
We have things working again. You can use it as normal. Please don't modify things in Dashboard (like dont' rename things or delete devices etc.

So, we looked at our purchase records and didn't see that you bought a IP2IR (at least from Allonis). So, we assume you are using the Harmony Hub IR output to control your BluRay player. So, we are using the Harmony Hub to send Infrared to the Bluray. Click on the BluRay icon and the user interface is same as what the Harmony Hub driver was using. The rest of your devices are using native myServer IP drivers.  myDesigner could be used to customize the "Harmony.html" webpage to be focused only on the BluRay supported buttons (call that "bluray2.html" so it doesn't overwrite the standard bluray.html webpage).  That's a more advanced topic for you, or Allonis can do that for you for incremental customization hours.

Which means: Don't unplug your Harmony Hub. You can put the Harmony handheld remote control in a drawer now. If you want to be completely divorced of the Harmony Hub, then purchase a IP2IR and we can easily move the IR support over to that hardware. I will be updating the Harmony Hub Driver documentation on how we did this so it can help someone else do same as a step off of Harmony ecosystem.

Thanx
David

Circling back on this since I have been away. Selecting the Roku icon from the menu brings you to the Roku start page. However, none of the commands  or hard buttons on the Smart Remote work to select a channel, and I can't get to the Roku home screen. The directional arrows on the remote don't do anything.It's a dead end. There is no way to power off the devices.I'vebeen using my Smart remote to access My Harmony hub where I can at start the Roku and AVR.Then I use my Roku remote to control everything but the volume which is what I use the Smart Remote for.  I also use the Smart remote to turn everything off through the Harmony hub.I'd like to be able to use the Smart Remote to control everything and ditch the Roku remote.
Best solution.
1. One button start the Roku and AVR.
2. I'd then  then use the directional keys and icons on the SmertRemote. 
3. Volume controlled on the Smart Remote
4. Macro to power off everything.
