check your logs.
The harmony configuration requires an ip address of your harmony hub unless it’s automatically discovered:
yeah i followed that
i have the discovery
and the harmony_living.conf is created too (with activities in it)
not sure whats wrong, i look at logs but cant find anything
Check the date on that. harmony_living doesn’t match what you named it. If it’s creating that you’d have remote.living as the entity_id.
the date is yesterday evening
first i entered the discovery in my config file
then i got a
harmony_harmony_hub.conf
then i deleted the “discovery:”
that was a month ago
yesterday evening, i saw, i had to keep discovery:
so i entered it again
it created a second file harmony_living.conf
so i had 2 of them
i deleted the harmony_harmony_hub
and tried again, so like it is now…
BUT
when i enter the harmony hub app on android, it says connecting to harmony hub
i just did an adjustment
i changed this:
remote:
- platform: harmony
name: Harmony_Hub
activity: Tv kijken
into this:
remote:
- platform: harmony
name: Harmony Hub
activity: Tv kijken
See if that helps
You have to have keep discovery on if you intend to use harmony without entering the IP.
yeah i do know that now 
my change doenst resolve it
should i rename the conf file?
to harmony_harmony_hub?
renaming it isn’t going to do anything. It’s for you to use to create scripts and automations.
how do i get the remote then?
Use discovery or hard code the ip in the integration.
i am using discovery since yesterday noon 
Donno then. I don’t use discovery. I hard code the IP.
i tried that too
with entering ip in my secrets
but that didnt gave me remote either
im not sure about the name
It has nothing to do with the name. The system is not seeing your remote. Verify that the remote is on the network and verify the IP address.
the hub is indeed on the network; i got the ip
im deleting discovery again and will do it your way again
ok i got the remote now
step further

Firstly, I just wanted to say thanks for the card/idea. I have used your picture card and then added a conditional card below if the harmony is on with a small/basic remote control.
I just wanted to know if you had any ideas how I could add a power button on the left of the activities? More so for not me, so it is clear how to turn it off when it is turned on.
For anyone interested, here is how mine look being on and being off:
The first item you add will be on the left of all your buttons. So just make a PowerOff switch, that just powers off for turn_on and turn_off. Then add it to the list first.

For your custom volume slider, if you go from 2 to 7, does the volume go up one level at a time? One of the issues I have with calling Harmony and pressing the volume down button is it’s a pretty slow process so if the volume is really high it may be a while to get it down thru HA.
Sliders only produce an event when you stop moving the slider. So if you go from 2 to 7, it would be 1 event, unlike a button which would be 5 events.
