The harmony elite remote communicates with the shield pro via bluetooth as you add the remote as another controller in the shield settings afaiaa the pro does not have an IR port only the supplied remote control does for controlling your tv/other IR devices

Got it. Forgot about bluetooth in Harmony Elite. I am still treasuring an old Harmony model that still had the Picture and Sound buttons to access a whole different set of commands. So it's IR only for me (and I have an extra model in storage, never opened...).

I so wish I had purchased a second Harmony remote before Logitech bailed on us. Now the prices for used devices are outrageous.
