Home Assistant Android remote clashed with Harmony Hub

Hardware
1

I have been controlling my Nvidia shield using my Harmony Hub for years. I just enabled Android Remote to control my shield via Home Assistant and it appears to clash/block the Harmony control. When I disable the shield and android remote in home assistant, the Harmony hub control works again. Has anyone else come across this and/or know of a way both can be used?

I use both the Android remote and a harmony and have not seen any issues. I am using the Onn 4k boxes though not the shield.

I have a Nvidia Shield and Harmony Hub running on my Home Assistant instance.
I use NodeRED to control my Harmony Hub Not Only Activities but Device Buttons as Well.

NodeRED Flow
The Button Press entities mentioned above are generated in NodeRED.
The Flow detects what Harmony Activity is Active and then will Re-Map the button Press to the right device.Harmony Hub Button Mapper & Home Assistant

I agree I do not believe ADB commands sent from Android Remote or Debug Bridge interferes with the (most likely bluetooth connection) the Harmony Hub has with the Nvidia Shield.
