Am I wrong? Noticed yesterday that my scripts for harmony hub end with an error, on both hass.io and pip3 installed versions (got both).
Error ends with:
voluptuous.error.MultipleInvalid: must contain at least one of entity_id, area_id.
Before this, things were working fine
I can give the answer myself, entity-id needs to be added now:
Hi Han, glad you worked out the entity-id requirement!
I have not got anywhere near as far as you appear to have with the harmony controlling my SamsungTV.
Would you mind sharing your customizations for this… would save me a lot of head scratching if I could copy yours and change a little for my setup.
It consist of a few items.
First when your harmony hub is connected to HA it makes a file harmony_living_room.conf (living_room depends on the name in configuration.yaml).
Basically it contains all items you learned to the harmony hub.

Awesome, thank you !
I’ll have a play with my setup, I also use a settop box, so this helps a lot!
Merry Christmas !
