That sounds like it’d suffer from the same problem a TV App would: if your network is having problems you suddenly can’t control your devices. The less intermediary connections between the controls and the device you’re controlling, the better.
I mean that’s still kinda cool though, it just doesn’t sound like it’d solve this specific problem.
Harmony remotes use RF to communicate with the IR blasters, so no, there’s no network issues. As for the Harmony app…I never used it, because why would I pay a couple hundred for something that I could do with a free app that uses infrared so no network issues? That, though, would probably have network issues because I don’t think cell phones do RF other than Bluetooth and WiFi.
