Thanks for your answer!
When setting up an activity, harmony choose by itself the “off” command. I can add additional “step” but then no “off” command is not listed in the available commands to choose from.

FWIW I have no issues with a Harmony Elite remote powering off the RME ADI-2 DAC from all activities using the hardware “Off” button at the top of the remote. The ADI-2 DAC is in all my activities so there never is a case where the unit would be powered off when switching to another activity.  So in my setup, it must be sending the correct hold-for-2-seconds on/off command to the ADI-2 DAC when powering off everything with the hardware “Off” button on the remote.

All the commands work fine for me except one. The only issue I’ve run into with the Harmony database for the ADI-2 DAC is the Setup 8 command; it seems to send the Crossfeed 2 command instead.

Thanks MC. I am actually on firmware 33, but your comment that Setup 7 and 8 had problems made me realize I had Crossfeed 2 on my Setup 7. So I rechecked and when I select Setup 8 on the Harmony remote, Setup 7 is actually loaded. The Setup 7 command on the remote works as expected.

Edit: MC, is this a Harmony database issue, or will it require a firmware update?

Cheers,
Mike

Edit: actually, I had used Remap Keys to remap a remote button to Setup7 (that had Crossfeed2 set) and used the code for the remap key on the Harmony remote which made my troubleshooting incorrect. [see Post 9 below].

Sorry for the confusion. The reason I thought Setup7 worked on the Harmony was because before Firmware release 30 with all the new IR codes, I had remapped Setup7 to a remote button on the old remote and used the IR command for that (Remap Key 2, Hex 27) on the Harmony but I had also renamed the soft-button in the LCD screen on the remote so I thought I was testing Setup7 when pressing that button.

It is an interesting workaround though to remap Setup7 and 8 to a remote button 1,2,3, or 4 (Setup -> Remap Keys / Diag -> ) and then use those “Remap Key x” commands on the Harmony until they update their database.

BR,
Mike

P.S. I’ve edited my post above about Setup7 working.

@satx, I wish I could be more helpful, but I didn’t do anything special when setting up my activities. I just added the ADI-2 DAC to all the activities. I did however just realize that I made the following change when adding the DAC as a device: I modified the RME ADI-2 DAC device settings -> “Power Settings” to “KEEP DEVICE ALWAYS ON BUT SWITCH OFF WHEN OFF BUTTON IS PRESSED”.

That setting may not be appropriate for you, but that could be why mine powers off with the hardware off button and it doesn’t for other people.

Cheers,
Mike

What remote are you using? What configuration software are you using (i.e., desktop, iOS app)? I’m using a Harmony Elite with Hub; I use both desktop and iOS My Harmony software. If you have similar, I can probably help further telling you where to look.

Edit:
On the iPad version of the iOS app “Harmony Control”, click the three-line menu (top left). Tap “Harmony Setup” -> “Add/Edit Devices & Activities” -> “Devices”. Tap the RME ADI-2 DAC. Tap “Power Settings”. Select “KEEP DEVICE ALWAYS ON BUT SWITCH OFF WHEN BUTTON IS PRESSED”. Then tap the top-right arrows to save the setting change. Then sync the remote.

You're awesome Mike! That worked. I use the RME for everything, so it should be good for my setup. In the commands section there is a place to add a duration to the commands.

For anyone else having the same issue, I set it up as follows- device settings> power settings> leave device on when switching activities, power off only with off button> I press two different buttons for on and for off> Power commands> on to power on- default duration, off to power off- 2 seconds duration
