Having same issue. The problem is compounded by the fact the included remote is Bluetooth and not IR so you can’t create the new device and “teach” the Harmony the new IR codes.

If it isn't paired with box doesn't it work in IR mode ?
I actually prefer BT1 remote to Harmony (now that's opened a can of worms LOL)

I wonder if the GTV box has an equivalent device in the Harmony database. Perhaps the Formuler people here have an idea for us?

OK I have solved this!
1) Change the mode of the BT remote to IR by holding down the STB button for 3 seconds. The first time you do it the LED on the remote will flash red. Do it again. The second time it will be Orange which means it is in IR mode - see instructions here:
https://support.formuler.tv/kb/article/158…te-quick-guide/
2) In Harmony Device setup, choose Manufacturer: FORMULER, Model: Z8
3) It wont work yet. Final step. In device settings, choose CHANGE VERSION. It will ask if you have the remote. Click YES. Then it will direct you to press the POWER TOGGLE on the remote (use the POWERT TOGGLE button - Top Right) 3” away from the Hub. Once it accepts the signal, it activates the Harmony for the device and the Harmony remote will work perfectly!
4) BONUS: In Harmony Device setup, add IR commands for the 2dot, 3dot, 4dot buttons at the bottom of the BT-1 remote.
DONE! Working perfectly. Let me know if you have any questions on the above.

Thanks EnR for the Harmony programming instructions! Is it safe to assume that once you switch to IR mode then the BT1's voice command feature no longer works?

I'm having no success...I'm assuming you mean the button on the left instead of the one on the right. I'm in ir mode (orange) and when asked to press the power button I press the left one and nothing happens. I looked further....after pressing the left button for 3 seconds to put it in ir mode and then press the left button to do the power with the Harmony hub, it turns off or on the TV but does not register on the hub. I noticed that when I press the button it is showing a red signal from the remote not orange (even after making sure its orange before doing it).

I'm having so success...I'm assuming you mean the button on the left instead of the one on the right. I'm in ir mode (orange) and when asked to press the power button I press the left one and nothing happens.
Sorry, I edited the instructions in my original post to reflect the following:
- Hold STB three seconds to change modes. Once you are in Orange mode the remote is in IR.
- When in CHANGE VERSION on device setup in Harmony setup and it asks for the POWER signal to program the hub, use the POWER TOGGLE (top right). If you see the LED flash orange when you hit the button it is sending the IR signal.. If it’s flashing red or white - you didn’t set the BT-1 remote to IR mode.
Sorry for the confusion.

Correct.

Put your GTV remote into IR modes and Make your Harmony Learn commands.

You can use 'Formuler Z8 Pro' codes on GTV.
'Formuler Z8 Pro' is a registered device in the Harmony setup app.
