Not as slick as just hitting the on button on the harmony remote, but I don't need to get up to manually do it, or use the PS4 controller. I ended up just going back to the instant HDMI input, then I added an input select button to the harmony remote (blue button) to manually reselect the PS4 input which turns on the PS4. I could get it to switch inputs and sometimes get the PS4 to come on, but it was pretty unreliable, with the harmony remote someitmes not pressing input button enough, or some times too many times. I spent a couple of hours trying different input methods in the Harmany setup, different delays etc.

Ended up adding an input button to remote to change to PS4 input manually to turn on PS4.Īs expected adding just the TV and switching to HDMI port did work sort of, however my TV (Vizio e series) switched to the HDMI port too quickly and wouldn't trigger the CEC to turn on the PS4.

I plan on trying that tonight when I get home, I'll update this post.ĮDIT: TLDR HDMI-CEC did function as expected (turning on PS4) but was unreliable. So I think the solution is to set an activity that just turns on the TV and selects the PS4 input (but don't include the PS4 in the activity), then I think the PS4 will power on and I can use the logitec IR blaster to mimic the vizio remote and control the PS4. Once I did that I could control the PS4 basic functions via my Vizio remote, to include TURNING IT ON when I select the HDMI input the playstation is connected to. Having said that, I've have HDMI-CEC turned on for about a month. I got pretty frustrated messing with it yesterday and this morning before I read that. Logitech site specifically says they can't turn on the PS4, and that 'no remote other than a game controller can turn it on'. I just got one of these yesterday and have been playing around with the PS4. (If you would like your sub listed please contact the mods!)

Home automation may include centralized control of lighting, HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning), appliances, security locks of gates and doors and other systems, to provide improved convenience, comfort, energy efficiency and security. It is automation of the home, housework or household activity. It never hurts to make sure your power settings are the way you want them to be.Home automation is the residential extension of building automation. Click your TV and then choose Power Settings & change it to something that better suits your setup. In the Harmony app, switch from the Activities screen to the Devices screen. In fact, you'll often need to (my TV is part of my Watch TV activity, my Watch a DVD activity, my Watch Apple TV activity, but it isn't part of my Listen To Music activity since I don't use the TV when listening to music). Remember that you can add devices to multiple activities. Make sure you've added your TV to all of the activities you want to use it with. You have two options - you can do either or both (I'd recommend both): You definitely want your TV included in any activity that needs it to be powered on. It sounds like you haven't added your TV to your new activity. When my Xbox one activity is turned off, it turns off my TV. HOWEVER when I start the PS4 activity it turns OFF my Xbox one activity.

I set up a new activity that turns on my HDMI switch, and changes it's imput to the PS4.
