I'm planning on scrubbing my current Harmony remote integration and starting over. Basically, I only use the Harmony to control EyeTV, but I'd like to add a much more feature rich experience. Since there isn't any way to decrement remote IDs I've discovered the only way to expand on my current set up is to add additional virtual remotes and have the Harmony learn the commands. But I feel this is clunky since I have unused virtual remote buttons on my current setup. So, I think I'll start from scratch.
My question is what do most users do to start? I'm thinking I'll literally count the number of buttons on my Harmony remote (including the soft buttons which I believe they allow up to 8) and divide that total number by 6. That will tell me the maximum number of virtual remotes needed. Then I'll have the Harmony learn each command all at once so that at any given time as I incrementally expand I can assign out more buttons as needed.
What does everyone else do? I've seen lots of spreadsheets and what not online, but that is because only certain buttons are used on each remote and learned by the Harmony leading to all kinds of confusion. But I'm curios what other people do.
