Logitech Harmony users... how do you use voice search?

by irishtexmex

This is my biggest hangup when it comes to switching to a Logitech Harmony remote.

I used a Harmony back in the day when 17-year-old-me bought the Harmony 525 for my parents. I digress...

I want to switch to a Harmony to control my TV, Nvidia Shield, stereo receiver, Chromecast Audio (for music listening through the receiver without turning the TV on), and some Philips Hue lights. But I absolutely do not want to give up voice search, which I use all the time.

TL;DR Is there an elegant way to keep all of my remotes/controllers in a cabinet somewhere & use only the Harmony whilst keeping voice search?

I have a Logitiech C270 Webcam hooked up to my SHIELD, when I hit the search button on the home screen/in an app - I can talk to the SHIELD via the webcam's mic.

I bought a PS3 camera off Amazon and plugged it into the USB port. Works great.

I don't, and I've never missed it. The few times I've tested it with the stock remote, I've been disappointed with the results, and I don't want to talk to my tv anyway.
