Does anyone know if there is a way to program the Harmony 890 remote control to dim lights when you press the play button for your video device? I want to manually start the movie by pressing the play button and then have the lights dim but NOT make it part of the activity!

I used to do just this but they changed the software to no longer allow two commands to be sent with one click. You can try to learn teach the two commands in quick succession to the remote in raw mode. Supposedly there will be an update to the Harmony software soon that will allow macro use.
