I’m having some issues with my harmony hub i’m hoping that you might be able to help with.
After my HA instance has been up and running for a day or so my harmony integration will go to unavailable.
It can be brought back to working by a restart of HA or even just a reload of the integration.
In the time it is unavailable i can still access it via my phone so it still has a network connection and it is running with XMPP enabled.
I’ve just enabled debugging on it to try and get a better look at what is happening but has anyone got any ideas as to what is causing this?
Reboot your harmony device, not HA. The remote has been great for me over 10 years, however it sometimes gets into a funky state and I need to reboot the actual harmony hub.
Take a look at this discussion, quite few ideas on how to resolve Harmony instability. Personally, what worked for me:
My learning from having the same issue - harmony hubs do not like high channel settings, use 1 or 6, avoid 11 - might be unstable (don’t ask me why, found it by trial and error). Same with channel width, limit it to 20MHz, do not use Auto or forced 40MHz. If you have more than 1 AP or mesh network… hubs do not like switching between APs, I had to disable roaming.
24 hours later and we are still stable having rebooted the hub. Hopefully that was the issue although it’s interesting seeing all the networking issues it has!
