This blueprint allows you to choose actions for every emulated harmony command.
I map buttons from my logitech harmony remote to emulated roku, this blueprint then allows them each to be assigned to actions.
Now i can control my lights and chromecast (and anything) from my harmony remote.
Currently you have to type the name of your emulated roku, i couldnt get the selector working. If anyone has any info on how i can do this please let me know.

Backspace should be renamed to BackSpace to trigger
you can add the undocumented button PowerOff which is available on Harmony remotes.
I donāt know if you are also using this with Harmony, but I couldnāt find how to map the button āEnterā using the Harmony mobile app on my 950 remote, did you ?
PS: I couldnāt find a way to activate the Roku selector either
Thanks, Iāve corrected BackSpace.
I wasnāt aware of power off, Iāll look into that.
I have a harmony hub and remote, I seem to remember using the web app to select a button and assign any Roku command to it
@samnewman86 Still new so thank you very much for this blueprint, lighting control via Harmony was my primary goal. Question for you when setting the commands, is there a way to include conditions where these commands are only triggered for specific activities and not others? I have a flat screen that is my daily driver then a screen that comes down in front for movie time and I would like to set it up so that only those projector driven activities control the light. I have taken a shot at that and have so far been unsuccessful, any help is appreciated.
and just after typing this I decided to give it one more shot and I think I have it working. To help anyone else (and verify I did indeed do this right) that got to this topic with a similar use case please see the screenshot for what mine looks like and seems to be working.
So brand new to home assistant so please be gentle. Have home assistant running as a vm on my unraid nas. wanted to incorporate my tp-link wifi lights into my logitech harmony hub based remote and saw your blueprint.
I was able to upload the blueprint and get to the create automation page, I put my emulated roku down, and have āsearchā mapped on my harmony remote. When i select my bedroom lights toggle from the drop down menu and hit save, nothing seems to happen.
When i look at my automations tab, nothing is listed. When i try to use the search button in logitech, it doesnāt toggle the lights. How do i get the automation created from this blueprint to show up in the UI?
Where did i go wrong?
Edit:. Sorted it out. Must have inadvertently messed w configuration.yaml. Restored old backup and itās working now.
Can this ākey mappingā work for the smart home buttons? Like the light bulb and outlet buttons on my Harmony Elite remote?
I just found this post and I donāt know how to make an āemulated rokuā. Iāll search for that and hopefully find it. Or if you can tell me how to find it, would appreciate it greatly.
Thanks in advance. This looks like just exactly what I want because I have an Insteon Hub that was working with the remote until Insteon bailed.
ā¦ moments passed ā¦
Ah, I see the emulated roku is just another integration. Iāll see if I can spot the smart home buttons in that.
ā¦ time passes ā¦
Rats. I read this in the document:
Home control buttons cannot be assigned to emulated Roku on the
Harmony Hub Companion remote as they are limited to
Hue (and possibly other APIs) within Harmony.
Running this I get an error. Trace shows
Error:UndefinedError: ādict objectā has no attribute āeventā
Canāt figure out if this is stopping the automation working but I canāt get it to run. Iām trying to run it with harmony hub and I have got the emulated Roku in Harmony and made a sequence to a button I want but nothing working as this above error happens.
