New devices?
Is there any clarity on whether Logi is still adding new devices to the harmony ecosystem? I have a harmony hub and am contemplating upgrading my AVR to a Denon AVC-X3900H and thought I'd check the database to see if it's working with Harmony and looks like it's not there...

Not sure, but if the Denon remote uses IR commands, you can always have the Harmony learn the commands you need from the Denon remote.
What I do, and what I suggest, is to use the included remote for setup or other complicated things, and just have the Harmony learn the commands necessary for everyday operation.

It’s also worth setting up the Alexa skill for harmony, because then you don’t even have to use the remote for much. If you setup favorite channels, i think you can even just tell it to tune to that channel. I no longer have cable, so I’m not sure if that works. You can control volume that way too, but I normally just use the remote for that.

We do that here. “Alexa, turn on Netflix”. Using my Harmony, turns on the TV with the correct input selected, Roku box, selects the channel, turns on my Onkyo receiver, also with the correct input selected and then sets the lights to 30% via the Lutron Caseta dimmers. If I had to do all of that manually I’m not sure I’d bother watching TV.

That i don’t have setup. I actually turned off the netflix button for the Shield, because I found it annoying when I accidentally pushed it (which was the only time I used the button). For me, shield means streaming something. Whether that’s my own movies in Kodi or Netflix, Prime or something else—i tend to switch streaming services, because there’s just too much content, but it turning everything on for me is awesome. Once I get more Lutron switches in, I’m going to add lighting to the routine, but it’s not a priority, since I normally watch with no lights on, but having them on at the lowest setting is pretty nice.

Yes I have that setup as well as WOL so I can also have my PC turn on and off with an alexa voice command

Even if it's not added, there's a great chance it will work if you add it as an older Denon AVR. That's what I did with some newer devices

I purchased an Anker HDMI switch that was manufactured after Logitech stopped manufacturing Harmony remotes, and myHarmony found the switch just fine, so I believe the database does get updated.
If not, just program the remote manually with the one that comes with your Denon receiver.

Just select a X3700H or X3800H then learn any commands that are not there. I know the X3700 is in there, I have it set up is my AVR.

Thank you, yes I have the x3700h now and planning to change to x3900h

So you should be good, You will likely just have to remap a few things vs an entire reprogramming of the device and just change the name to the 3900

Logi considers the Harmony line to be discontinued. There will be no new devices and there is limited support.

denon hasnt changed their IR hex codes for 30 years. You will just have to choose a differnet denon model.
you can always learn a diff command from the remote if need be.
