Programming a remote control to open PLEX

I have a TCL Roku 75" TV. I have the original remote, a Anderic RRUR01.2, and a new Harmony 950…
I am trying to get my Harmony to open PLEX with the ‘yellow’ key. It keeps telling me to put the remote in learning mode…but all my remotes dont program PLEX to a one-touch key…
Can anyone help me?

I have not done this myself so someone can feel free to correct me but, if I am not mistaken you can’t really do that with a Harmony 950. I believe that is only an IR control remote and I do not think the Roku supports any kind of IR code set to launch a specific channel (beyond the hard-coded buttons). A Harmony Hub can do things like this because it communicates IP to the Roku not IR. Not positive if you can map a channel to the yellow button but you can do it for sure with an activity. I believe you can pair the 950 to a harmony hub and then you could likely accomplish this.

If you’re not attached to the Harmony, check out the new Enhanced Voice Remote from Roku:

I think this is the same one that ships with the new Roku Ultra. The 1 and 2 buttons are voice shortcut buttons. So you hold the voice button down and say “Launch Plex” then hold the 1 button down. Now the 1 button will launch Plex. Works great.

Excellent. Thank you!
