You can't use the built in Kinect IR Blaster if you're using the adapter. It's a limitation of the adapter. You'd have to buy an additional IR extender and connect it to the back of the console.

You could also do what I did. I bought the little peel and stick IR blasters if you don't have line of site to all of your IR equipment.
Important: If you do this, you will need to adapt the 2.5mm jack on the back of the Harmony Hub to 3.5mm like most IR blasters use. So buy one (or two) of this 2.5mm to 3.5mm Mono Adapter.
> IR emitters are like $10 and aren't compatible with the Xbox one
Did you mean "are compatible"?
The Xbox One has IR blaster output on the back. Like you said, emitters are cheap enough.
> As for the mic, you'd need some 360 degree mic solution, perhaps Microsoft will sell one.
Take the Kinect, remove the cameras, and leave the mic array with its beam forming support, noise cancellation, etc. In terms of correctly identifying a single voice among noise without generating false positives, I've not found a better mic.
Thanks for the comment. Trying to not sound dumb here. Is that what I'm looking for?

The idea is to have the IR blasters hooked into the cable boxes, then the harmony hub can connect to the boxes throughout the house, even if it doesn't have a line of sight, right? Then I should be able to control them through the echo --> harmony skill.
That's one way - it's what I do. The other way is to put the Harmony Hub in a media cabinet and run an IR emitter/extender cable (that plugs into the Harmony hub) to a position where it can see all the components that need to be controlled. Here are reviews for an IR extender cable being used with the Harmony Hub.
