The phone app works just fine on al hubs. The other two
remotes were actually controlling the Shields through IR still
(before Logi added the BT support for the Shields). Once I
deleted them and added them again, they were BT and the
virtual keyboard was added, and they work exactly like Logi
says they should.</div>

the paired device. Both hubs and all 3 remotes behave the
exact same way, so I am wondering what is different.</div>

<p>Well I have it working so I'll try to help. I have 6 activities.
some are simple like blueray, music on the AVR and SmartTV and AVR
sound. But I have the Shield TV and an Intel NUC running Kodi on
ubuntu. <br>
</p>
<p>On the Ubuntu system I did add the NUC as a Windows PC and paired
the bluetooth. So that went as expected with using the non
bluetooth wireless keyboard and having the Harmony send the
keyboard commands. No surprised.</p>
<p>On the Shield I did this, but it makes no sense. I added a
device to the activity of a new windows PC and changed the name of
the device to windows keyboard. No pairing. Then when setting up
the activity I included the windows keyboard device but nothing
else.</p>
<p>When it came time to pick custom buttons on the activity. I chose
a button and when picking the device I just selected the Windows
Keyboard device then the key to send. i.e. 'p' for both pause and
play. Normally you are picking the device to receive the command
not send the command, and that's what through me.</p>
<p>It works. It may help to set it up after a whiskey or two. :-)<br>

although the software gets update every time you use the phone
app to change a button.P/N 815-000101</p>
