Good news PS4 and Harmony remote owners! Today Logitech announced that in addition to bringing home control capabilities to all hub-based products, their most recent software update also makes PlayStation 4 control possible for these hub-based remotes.
According to the Logitech Blog, with this new functionality, you can now navigate menus on your PlayStation 4 using your Harmony remote or the Harmony app.
“We know many users rely on PlayStation 4 for more than just games, so now you can use your Harmony remote or app to control Blu-Ray movies and streaming apps streaming apps including Netflix, YouTube, Amazon Instant Video, and more. And in many cases, you can use the Harmony mobile app to enter text to find your favorite show or movies or when using the PlayStation 4 web browser.”
The only downside is this new update does not allow you to power your PlayStation on directly. Unfortunately Sony doesn’t allow this, so you are stuck using your controller to power on the console. But, once powered on, Harmony will automatically use Bluetooth to connect and enable control of your PlayStation. Pretty cool stuff!
