The center OK Button is not working for me. Direction buttons do work. I have no idea why, the actual Harmony remote control or if I remote control with the Harmony App, the OK Button is working. Ive checked the harmony.conf, there is “OK” present.
I am using the Microsoft MCE Type (“Microsoft Remote Control 1040”) of IR Remote.
set the command in the config
Thanks for this card. Would be great if in command: we could also call HA services/scripts/etc. and not only commands in harmony’s config file. Hope it’s something you already thought about.
When i select the CenterPad button OK isn’t sent to the device, i see no activity on the Harmony Hub LED which normally flickers when a command is received. I have tried adding centerPad: OK in the config of the dashboard card, no change at all. any ideas what i am doing wrong? I have created a button to send the command and it works fine. Also cant seem to turn off/on d-pad with your show command.
show_pad: false does not seam to do anything (also tried showpad: false)
whoops it’s showPad but ill change that in the next release to show_pad

Since version 1.7.1 no Pad is shown at all. See Since update 1.7.1 issues with showpad · Issue #9 · ljmerza/harmony-remote-card · GitHub

I just upgraded to 1.7.3 from 1.7.0 and the pad was gone. I have added
‘show_pad: true’ and it now works.
On github in the closed issue it is suggested to add showPad: true. This does not work though.

hey,
on the harmony remote card for HA, i was wondering,
my firestick center button, requires the “Ok” command on my harmony configuration,
but my virgin vivo box requires “Select”,
is it possible to fire out both commands or change the config to accept both ?
thanks in advance,
stuart 
Update to 2.0.0 and HA says custom:harmony-remote-card doesnt exist
Cleared all the cache but still no worky :(
Also having issues with 2.0.0 custom:harmony-remote-card doesnt exist. Had to rollback to 1.7.3 in order to make it work again.
I am having a problem with activities. I can’t see them on the remote.
I can see the devices and commands.
I am on v2.0.11.
Here is a shortened config:
type: custom:harmony-remote-card
entity: remote.harmony_hub
activities:
- activity: OTA
icon: mdi:television
hide_icon: false
devices:
- name: LG TV
icon: mdi:television-box
hide_icon: false
commands:
- Mute
- Info
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
- 5
- 6
- 7
- 8
- 9
- 0
- name: InputHdmi1
command: InputHdmi1
show_pad: true
type or paste code here
You did see this note (see post at top of this thread): “activity string Required the name of the activity. Must match the exact name in the harmony.conf file” ? Does it match?
Not sure.
I have Tried OTA, the ID, and the ID : Name
"50698278": "Watch Fire TV",
"50698279": "Watch Roku",
"50698280": "OTA",
"50698281": "Watch a Movie",
"50698282": "Watch TV",
"50698598": "Chrome Cast",
"51947664": "Watch Cubs"
OK. I figured it out.
I was missing the activityEntity entry.
Thanks.

I have a problem with the centerPad entry.
5 of the 6 activities (devices) have OK commands, and they work.
The Watch TV activity device is a Dish Network Hopper 3.
I has a Select command, but not an OK.
Is there a way around that?
I think I am having the same issue, devices work but activities do not show up. Here is a super simple card config that is not working:
And here is my harmony.conf to show that activity matches:
Any idea what is going on? Thank you.
Possible issue: Your harmony.conf file has a space in “Watch HTPC”, but your named activity in the yaml does not.

activityEntity: select.harmony_hub_activities
activities:
- activity: OTA
- activity: Watch Roku
You need to add the activityEntity: select.harmony_hub_activities.
