Latest Harmony breaking Home Assistant component?

Did the restore back to previous firmware and blocked internet access for my harmony hubs until this sorts out. Luckily only one of mine upgraded - I didn’t know they did that automatically.

I used a mac and here’s what I did:

  1. Download Harmony Desktop software for Mac from here https://support.myharmony.com/en-us/download
  2. Start the software - DO NOT CLICK IN WINDOW ANYWHERE AFTER LAUNCHING
  3. press option-F9 (may need to use the Fn key as well depending on keyboard)
  4. Choose your harmony from the list (I chose smart control) - select Factory Reset
  5. You’re taken to a page that has two steps
  6. Plug your hub into a USB port - wait until the buttons become active on the screen - took about a minute or more for me
  7. Click “Restore”

Your hub will be downgraded to the previous firmware (193 think). I did NOT do the factory rest.

After it was complete, I plugged it back in at my tv and everything worked as it did before. It appears to HA, etc.
