Yeah gotcha… Was more thinking of the original question in first post… Totally understand other use cases like yours.
@tom_l, Here the remote control after some modifications that were necessary for my environment. Thank you again.

Thank you all for your help with this I would like to share what I have done
Heres my Code, I’ve used a combination of Vertical Stack, Hosrisontal stack, Buton Cards and Custom:button-cards, Hope this helps all
A couple of quick pointers too
RM pro 4
initially created a bunch of switches (using remote.learn_command) and copying learned commands from .storage/broadlink_remote_xxxxxxxxxxxx_codes
here’s an extract from my configuration.yaml
switch: !include switch.yaml
# remote control

My implementation of a “universal remote” in Home Assistant, was simply to use a picture of a Harmony Classic Remote device, and assign actions to each button:
The YAML code associated with this card is too long to paste here, but you’ll find on Pastebin; Harmony Remote YAML - Pastebin.com
In addition, it require a script.yaml that takes care of adapting the key presses dependingon the chosen activity at any time (TV, Radio, Media Libray, Apple TV, etc.). This script is also on Pastebin: Media selector Script - Pastebin.com
Note: I have expanded the code somewhat since this early version, but the principle is the same throughout once you understand how it works.
I have had this for several years now, and never ever had any issues with it. It also works fairly well on a Mobile phone screen - even though the buttons are a bit too small.
Nobody in my household ever bother to look for the remote control anymore. They’ve all got their own copy

The last one is a topic for sharing Broadlink IR and RF codes, so feel free to add your own Broadlink codes.

So i made remake of someone’s from there remote, ad made it kind of easier.
My tv is samsung (without android) with amazon and netflix and unused rakutten:
You need simply script (scripts.yaml) and learned tv keys
#script.yaml

This is very nice, congratulation. By any chance, did you share the code somewhere. I’d like to see how you were able to adapt @tom_l code

Sorry to dig up this year old post, but I like this and have spent a bit this morning trying to replicate much of it in my setup. Question I have for you, as I’m not very good with templating.
What is the purpose in the scripts where you are changing “Get-TV” to “Get GB”? Or similarly, “Apple-TV” to “Apple TV”? My state_attr for current activity in Dev Tool appear to match the direct names. IE. “Apple TV” in state_attr. current_activity is named the same as in the harmony.conf file.
I guess what I’m really asking (or hoping for) is there a way I can just set device: in the scripts to = the current activity?
Once I get this up and going, I hope to also add in long button press for the Activities, and then will need to expand the scripts to include this as well.
Oh, this is just because when I first set up the Harmony HUB, I chose one set of names, and years later, when I set up Home Assistant integrations, I named the same devices slightly different.
Eventually, when I later decided to integrate the two (HA & Harmony HUB), I didn’t bother to change the names again.
Hi! Had some questions about your remote card. I’ve been using your old version with the tiles card and it still works well but was looking to start trasnsitioning to the button card. How did you get the coloring different between the title at the top and the rest of the card? Is it just a background image? I set up a few buttons to test out. I noticed that it works differrently than the tiles card, The tiles card is very responsive. If I press the button quickly 3 times the command is sent all 3 times to my harmony hub. With the custom button card it needs time between presses. Is there a way to adjust this? Can you use custom icons or only the mdi icons?
Hey Tom,
When you say enter them at the top of raw edit mode, where are you referring to?
When you are editing the card, there is an option in the bottom left called “show code editor” where you can edit the raw yaml that makes the card work:
I see show code editor, but what card are you starting with? Entities card?
Actually the raw editor is accessed by clicking the three dots icon in the top right of your dashboard twice.
First press to get into edit mode:
Then when in edit mode press the three dots again to select raw edit mode:
You will then see the raw edit mode where you can paste the templates at the top of the existing config:
Press Save when done.
Here’s some code to start you off…

If you used custom:button-card and button card templates you could reduce that code by 80% as it mostly repeats the same thing over and over.

Is there a way to get this as simple as possible in the UI? Like a card that could be configured.
That would be great.
