That does seem odd. The only time I've had trouble with the sync between
devices and the remote is when commands get missed - usually due to
putting the remote down behind something when it's sending a long
sequence of commands.

Unless there's some oddity with your setup (it may be worth setting up a
second account on the harmony website and redoing your setup - using the
standalone app as it's quicker), it does seem likely that you have a
faulty one.
