But, as I described above, the direction pad buttons would not function, though everything else worked fine. I believe I went into: *Device (Chromecast) *Settings. The Elite remote would send the prompt, вЂњYou must use the Harmony app to pair this device,вЂќ anytime I pressed a button. I figured out the BT pairing, after fumbling through the Harmony app on my phone. I cured this by adding a USB-C hub with Ethernet, which gave me Gigabit connectivity along with external USB storage. The only problem I had was poor Wi-Fi reception as it was hidden behind my AV Receiver.

The new Chromecast is an amazing little device which I definitely recommend.

However, it seems to send those commands over Bluetooth as the Harmony couldnвЂ™t pick them up.

The front of the new Chromecast remote looks like it has an IR sender, so I tried to teach the commands for Netflix and You Tube to the Harmony. It will appear as a Harmony Keyboard, so choose that and connect. Start the new Activity on the Harmony and follow the prompts. You will see that the Chromecast is searching for accessories. Scroll down to Remotes & accessories and choose Pair remote or accessory. To pair the Harmony with Chromecast, go to your Chromecast account name on the top right and choose settings. You should then be able to setup an Activity with the device. Tap on + Device and then choose Entertainment Device.ДЇor Device Manufacturer enter вЂњGoogleвЂќ and for Model Number enter вЂњChromecast with Google TVвЂќ - without the quotes. Open the Harmony app on your phone or tablet (this doesnвЂ™t work with the Windows program), tap on Devices and Edit Devices. It uses Bluetooth to communicate, so the hub needs to be in range of the Chromecast. Logitech has added support for the new Google Chromecast with Google TV on Harmony Hub remotes.
