If you want a button to do something specific, or there’s a function on your device’s
original remote that’s not on the Harmony 900, you can create your own buttons that
appear on the Harmony 900’s screen.
You can also change the name of buttons on your remote’s screen to help make them
easier to find.

Naming buttons that appear on the remote’s screen
When you create a custom name for a button, remember to think about how the
name will look on the remote’s screen! We recommend keeping button names to 10
characters or less.
When you use your Harmony 900 to control devices one-by-one, you can customize the
commands that appear on the Harmony 900’s screen to make the functions you use
easiest to find.
You can even add the commands you’re missing to your Activities so they’ll always be
easily accessible.
If there’s a button that you don’t use, you can remove buttons that appear on the
remote’s screen using the Harmony Remote Software.
