Frequently Asked Questions
Does the IR mini blaster work without the Logitech Harmony Smart Control hub?
No, it is a passive IR emitter that must be connected to the Harmony Smart Control hub (model 915-000194). It does not function as a standalone device.
How does the mini blaster physically connect to the Harmony hub?
It plugs into the IR output port on the Harmony Smart Control hub via a wired connection, and the emitter end is placed near or on the IR receiver window of the device you want to control.
Can I use multiple mini blasters with one Harmony hub?
The number of IR mini blasters you can connect depends on the available IR output ports on your Harmony Smart Control hub. Each blaster covers one device or a small group of nearby devices.
What is the advantage of this mini blaster over the hub's built-in IR?
The hub's built-in IR broadcasts in a wide pattern, which can cause interference with nearby devices. The mini blaster delivers a focused IR signal directly to a specific component, which is essential for devices inside closed cabinets or in setups where multiple IR-controlled devices are close together.
