each device included in your Harmony remote configuration. To access Device mode you do not need to
be in an Activity. However, you should never need to use Device mode during normal use of your
Harmony remote. This mode should only be used to send a specific command to a specific device.

Harmony remote will only control the device features for the device.
Example
If you choose Television as the device, the number, volume and channel buttons will all control
your television.
