Logitech says that support will continue.

We shall see.

Bummer. But not unexpected. I’m hoping that when they do pull the plug they just open source the platform and allow existing users to connect to a different IR code DB.. but I doubt it. The problem with cloud services…

As of May 2024, it looks like support continues.

We made some hardware changes while preparing to show our cable company the exit and I was able to update our Harmony 950 with little trouble. It appears that the support for Roku Channels may have waned. The remote is just showing buttons with the channel ID rather than icons. We didn't use those shortcuts anyway so it's a pretty small sacrifice.
