your switches are miss spelled and they need to be case sensative: In your first switch: Regarder la TV is missing the r at the end. In your second switch: Android TV the v in TV need to be lowercase.

    Regarde la TV:
      value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('remote.lgtv', 'current_activity', 'Regarder la TV') }}"
      turn_on:
        service: remote.turn_on
        data:
          entity_id: remote.lgtv
          activity: 'Regarder la TV'
      turn_off:
        service: remote.turn_on
        data:
          entity_id: remote.lgtv
          activity: 'PowerOff'
    
    # Android TV
    Android TV:
      value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('remote.lgtv', 'current_activity', 'Android Tv') }}"
      turn_on:
        service: remote.turn_on
        data:
          entity_id: remote.lgtv
          activity: 'Android Tv'
      turn_off:
        service: remote.turn_on
        data:
          entity_id: remote.lgtv
          activity: 'PowerOff'

thank you i have corrected switches.yaml
but same result

i just view harmony hub but 0 activity

petro · September 13, 2018, 6:52pm

Are you placing them in the switch category inside your configuration.yaml? Are you looking in the switches group on the default view in the Home Assistant interface?

Dejan · September 13, 2018, 7:01pm

i have placed file switches.yaml in CONFIG_DIR folder
and in configuration.yaml when include ```
switch: !include switches.yaml

i have error in confirguration : 
Invalid config for [switch]: required key not provided @ data['platform']. Got None. (See /share/CACHEDEV1_DATA/.qpkg/Home-Assistant/CONFIG_DIR/configuration.yaml, line 102). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/switch/

and when i add platform - template i have this error : 
Invalid config for [switch.template]: [Regarder la TV] is an invalid option for [switch.template]. Check: switch.template->switches->Regarder la TV. (See ?, line ?). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/switch.template/

You’re missing the -platform.

Your switches file contents should look like this:

  - platform: template
    switches:
      Regarde la TV:
        value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('remote.lgtv', 'current_activity', 'Regarder la TV') }}"
        turn_on:
          service: remote.turn_on
          data:
            entity_id: remote.lgtv
            activity: 'Regarder la TV'
        turn_off:
          service: remote.turn_on
          data:
            entity_id: remote.lgtv
            activity: 'PowerOff'
      
      # Android TV
      Android TV:
        value_template: "{{ is_state_attr('remote.lgtv', 'current_activity', 'Android Tv') }}"
        turn_on:
          service: remote.turn_on
          data:
            entity_id: remote.lgtv
            activity: 'Android Tv'
        turn_off:
          service: remote.turn_on
          data:
            entity_id: remote.lgtv
            activity: 'PowerOff'

seconde error :

Invalid config for [switch.template]: [Regarder la TV] is an invalid option for [switch.template]. Check: switch.template->switches->Regarder la TV. (See ?, line ?). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/switch.template/

petro · September 13, 2018, 7:11pm

bah, you need to follow the yaml rules. No capitals, no spaces for section keys
