Harmony Hub

Third party integrations

Followed the steps above and finally got it working. Thanks a lot for the support.

no problem man!

I am running HA in a RP3 using the all in one script. Could you please provide a more detailed guide on how to install the harmonz hub control in order to be able to issue commands? Many thx in advance

81

I have a question for those running Homebridge. Using the method above, do you find it more reliable than the current Homebridge plugin? For me, the harmony-hub homebridge plugin crashes so often it forces me to restart it daily, which is more annoying than the convenience it should add. Also, if it’s reliable, has anyone integrated with homebridge using the homeassistant plugin? Thanks

Ok so I managed to get Maddox’s Harmony API working and set up MQTT using CloudMQTT. I can read the active states of my Harmony hub but I can’t seem to change an activity using Home Assistant. Anyone have any experience with CloudMQTT and know what I can try to troubleshoot?

@mefistofelis

everything is here:

just make sure to install build-essential before all the steps (sudo apt get -y install build-essential
)

I lost my config due to this:

I might have it stored somewhere but will have to look for that, first I want to resolve my broken hass … :frowning:

THx for the reply, is there any way i can take a backup just to be sure that if something goes wrong i can restore it?
Or is it enough if i just backup the sd card of my pi???

85

Thx a lot for your help p0nts, i managed to get the commands working through the command line.
Your configuration from above (switches etc) is unfortunately not accessible, could you please repost it?

86

Yeah, will do this tomorrow because I am not at home now.

activity ID’s are of-course different for everybody, you can find them by running “list_activities”

How can i change that?

89

Same problem as someone else above, you forgot to build. please do the following:

sudo apt-get -y install build-essential cd /home/hass/.homeassistant/harmony make HarmonyHubControl

Make sure to change the paths to where your HarmonyHubCotrol make file is

90

When i am logged in to my pi and run sudo apt get -y install build-essential i get the following error>>

E: Invalid operation get

91

There’s a typo in the command try this:

sudo apt-get -y install build-essential

92

thx i figured it out!!!
Just one last question: how can i turn an activity off?

93

You can use start_activity -1 (its in the switches code)

94

Thx for the tip but if you have 2 activities active then only one can be closed…Is there a workaround for that?

95

Sry I dont have that, always have just 1 activity open and when I want to stop it I close it with -1. But yeah i guess when you have multiple activities you have to just activate the same activity one more time to close it? Not sure, never tried.

96

Has anyone figured out how to map one of the buttons to a HA command? I would like to control a few z-wave switches with my remote.

97

that would be the most awesome thing…
