Harmony and emulated hue

Configuration
1

Hi all

Having a little trouble getting my Harmony hub connected to emulated hue so I can use with Alexa.

I have added my hubs successfully to HA, set up scripts and buttons to control in the front end, but cannot figure how to connect these into the hue for use with Alexa. My .yaml integration as follows

emulated_hue:
  listen_port: 80
  off_maps_to_on_domains:
    - script
    - scene
  expose_by_default: true
  exposed_domains:
    - light
    - switches
    - scripts

Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong or missing

TIA

Remove the listen_port: 80 from your emulate_hue: configuration.

Harmony Hub works with the defaults as far as listen_port configuration.

As far as working with Alexa, I would suggest you look at Nabu Casa and the Alexa integration there. Emulate can work with Alexa, I think, I haven’t used it and do not have a Amazon Echo device.

Thanks for the quick repsonse.

I do already have lights and switches working with Alexa/ emulated_hue, but cannot get this going. Have removed the line as you suggested and she is not discovering either new devices or scenes. I inserted the listen_port line as that is in the config and without this nothing responds in Alexa.

At the risk of sounding tight, I do not want to use the Nabu Casa and pay per month for something that will only get used once a day, maybe twice. i know there are plenty of people doing this way so I must be missing something else here.

There is a local integration with the Amazon Echo, check out the section on Manual setup.
