I’m also seeing similar issues with my harmony hub lately. My config is similar to yours, and the IP is correct, but I do have XMPP enabled. The .conf file is being created, but the following errors show up in the log:
2020-01-16 19:56:14 ERROR (MainThread) [aioharmony.hubconnector] 192.168.1.85: Exception on post: Cannot connect to host 192.168.1.85:8088 ssl:None [Connect call failed ('192.168.1.85', 8088)]

Let me chime in here. 4.15.250 on the Hub here. Tried with XMPP enabled and now disabled. Conf is being created with all actions but no entities are created apart from an “unavailble” one in developer tools. Logs are similar to @cvilledave’s. The populated conf somehow tells me the connection works so where’s the culprit?
I am still having the same issue, now running 0.108. Behaviour for me is that the remote.harmony* does not show up at all, not even in developer tools.
