Harmony Elite and XMC-1 set to InputArc

[jpm2112]

Hello,

I'm stuck trying to figure out how to configure my Harmony Elite remote to power up both my LG 65C8 and XMC-1  and have switch to InputArc.

Under Activities in the Logitech app, I don't see the option for InputArc. But, under devices, I can find InputArc. Has anyone been able to set this up? Any input is greatly appreciated!


Thanks in advance,


JP

Can’t you choose the
“My input isn’t listed”
Option and then select the arc input that way ??

Have you tried setting the XMC-1's Turn on Input in the Preference settings? Menu ---> Preferences ---> Turn-On Input ---> HDMI ARC

Thanks for the suggestions.

Hi emofrmcgy,I can't find the input under "My inout isn't listed" and when I try to add it; there are too many options for me to make sense of!

Thanks for your idea LCSeminole. What I've done at the moment is set the XMC-1 to start up on the ARC channel and tell the Logitech remote not to select a channel.

So is this working for you? My Harmony 950/Elite simply turns on my XMC-1(w/turn on input set for cable box), LG OLED(HDMI input 2), and Comcast/Pace cable box. I don’t set any delays and whatever channel I was last watching is now on after the XMC-1 65sec boot up time.

I don't know the setting by hard but configuring the activity worked out of the box while audio of TV was set to ARC.
I can't check it anymore as currently I'm using an optical cable for audio. Due to the ARC problems of the XMC-1.

Thanks, I'm having ARC problems was well.

I did find a work around for my idea though. There's a way to assign one of the inputs, include the HDMI ARC to one of the buttons on the Emotiva remote. So, I set the XMC-1 HDMI ARC to button 1. Then in the Harmony remote activity, I added that button number to the sequence.

Now, I have to discover the my Wifi and Dirac issues are! But, that's another thread!
