Hi guys thanks for your inputs, I was able to get this working with the sync perfectly 
Does anyone have volume control working as well?
Hello and thank you very much for this Intergration.
Everything is working fine for me except that when i turn off activity from harmony remote or app it doesn’t update the input_select to Power Off.
Is it normal or do i miss something?

I created an automation to reload the external update after every home assistant restart:
- alias: 'hub trigger'
initial_state: on
trigger:
- platform: homeassistant
event: start
action:
- delay:
seconds: 10
- service: automation.trigger
entity_id: automation.remote_external_update_harmony_hub
Could i use something similar to update the input_select after the “Power Off” command? Like this:
- alias: 'PowerOff update harmony hub'
initial_state: on
trigger:
- platform: state
entity_id: remote.harmony_hub
condition:
- condition: template
value_template: '{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.current_activity == "PowerOff" }}'
action:
- delay:
seconds: 5
- service: input_select.select_option
data_template:
entity_id: input_select.harmony_hub
option: >
{{ states.remote.harmony_hub.attributes.current_activity }}
Again thank you for the amazing job you have all done 
Well i founded the solution for my issue, it was silmpy the data_template option. Now i 'm using this:
entity_id: input_select.harmony_hub
option: 'Power Off'
And it works perfectly. Maybe there is way to make it simple and proper.
First of, thanks for your work with this. I have got my Harmony up and running almost to 100%. But I have troubles getting the dropdown menu for the input_select to work. It shows what acticity is running but I can´t change the activity from HA as I don´t get a dropdown menu. Do you know where it may have gone wrong? The yamls looks fine in yamlint and I get no errors when I check config in HA. I also pasted the parts in hastebin and uploaded if it’s easier to see anything wrong that way as I´m not sure the </> worked correctly
automation.yaml:
- alias: Harmony
hide_entity: False
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: input_select.harmony
from: 'Select Input'
action:
- service: remote.turn_on
entity_id: remote.harmony
data_template:
activity: >
{% if is_state("input_select.harmony", "TV") %}
30719637
{% elif is_state("input_select.harmony", "Netflix") %}
30720403
{% elif is_state("input_select.harmony", "Shield TV") %}
30720334
{% elif is_state("input_select.harmony", "Playstation 4") %}
30733821
{% elif is_state("input_select.harmony", "Musik") %}
30720761
{% else %}
{% endif %}
- service: input_select.select_option
entity_id: input_select.harmony
data_template:
option: "Select Input"
- alias: Harmony Off
hide_entity: False
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: input_select.harmony
to: 'Power Off'
action:
- service: remote.turn_off
entity_id: remote.harmony
- service: input_select.select_option
entity_id: input_select.harmony
data_template:
option: "Select Input"
input_select.yaml
harmony:
name: Harmony Kontroll
options:
- Select Input
- Power Off
- TV
- Netflix
- Shield TV
- Playstation 4
- Musik
initial: Select Input
icon: mdi:monitor
sensor.yaml
- platform: template
sensors:
current_activity:
friendly_name: 'Current Activity'
value_template: '{{ states.remote.harmony.attributes.current_activity }}'
group.yaml
harmony:
name: "Harmony"
view: false
icon: mdi:remote
entities:
- remote.harmony
- sensor.current_activity
- input_select.harmony
Since it looks like you are using separate YAML files, do you have this in your configuration file? Do any other input_selects display, or is this the only one you’re having issues with?
input_select: !include input_select.yaml
It looks like you changed the name of the input select to input_select.harmony_kontrol in it’s configuration, but not in the configuration for the group. In the group config, change input_select.harmony to input_select.harmony_kontrol.
Thank you, this solved it!

Hi there,
i am almost new to Home Assistant and found this great thread to implement my harmony hub which works great so far. Now i wanted to integrate the very same input_select and automation to create a menu for changing HDMI inputs on my TV if needed… i wanted to use the remote.send_command but something seems to be wrong here although there is no config error shown. Maybe you could help me get this right. To be honest i am not sure if it could work this way. Please see my “code”:
automation:
- alias: Harmony Input
hide_entity: True
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: input_select.tvinput
from: 'Select HDMI'
action:
- service: remote.send_command
data:
entity_id: remote.harmonyhub
data_template:
activity: >
{% if is_state("input_select.tvinput", "HDMI1") %}
command: -InputHdmi1 device: 35857036
{% elif is_state("input_select.tvinput", "HDMI2") %}
command: -InputHdmi2 device: 35857036
{% else %}
{% endif %}
configuration:
tvinput:
name: TV HDMI Input
initial: Select HDMI
options:
- Select HDMI
- HDMI1
- HDMI2
Maybe you can help
Thanks in advance!
Haven’t got an answer but just interested why you’d ever want to switch an input outside an activity?
Our is it just one of those ‘why not’ scenarios we all waste multiple hours trying to achieve but will probably never use
It is as simple as that… the Harmony does not always change my TV input as it should. And i want to have a second option to change things without closing an activity…there will probably be more stuff then just changing the input. I am just wondering if the remote.send_command can be used just like remote.turn_on within this structure and how it could work.
I just pick the remote up if that ever happens. I’m sure someone who can sort it for you will be along soon.
As @Bobby_Nobble said, you may want to do this with the remote instead. Edit your activity in Harmony and add a delay then the correct input. But if you really want to do it in Home Assistant, I think this is what you need:
- alias: Harmony Input
initial_state: on
hide_entity: True
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: input_select.tvinput
from: 'Select HDMI'
action:
- service: remote.send_command
entity_id: remote.harmonyhub
data_template:
device: 35857036
command: >-
{% if is_state("input_select.tvinput", "HDMI1") %}InputHdmi1
{% elif is_state("input_select.tvinput", "HDMI2") %}InputHdmi2
{% else %}
{% endif %}

Thanks for your replies! Its not that i cant or don`t do this with the remote but i want to check out what is possible using this command! There are some other things i wanted to do using the remote.send_command as well.
Yeah it’s always a good learning experience playing around with different ideas, so I get it. I do the same. Let me know if the above works, I’m not at home right now to check my yaml files, but basically you either need data or data_template and in this case data_template since you’re using jinja templates to determine the command. Also you can’t have multiple attributes inside a template, but rather you have to template each attribute.

Oddly, when remote.turn_on is called from hass to start an activity that is already running, it will actually restart that activity much like the “Fix” option in harmony. We use this a lot when casting to our chromecast. The harmony doesn’t know the inputs have changed and still shows it’s on our directv activity, but when we tell it to switch to the directv activity using hass, it will correct all of the inputs for us.
I have had no time to check the code yet… maybe i ll get to it tonight. I will let you know if its working.
Finally i wanted to send comands without leaving/changing the activity or beeing forced to use the “device” tab on the remote.
For example i am still using older Wallplugs controlled via an older standard not zwave. These can be switched using a small device called lightmanager from JBmedia and if you go to devices on the harmony remote you get commands like: L001 , L002 , L003 and so on
Not very comfortable as you cant rename them so you will always have to remember which command controls which plug
Using Hassio i could kind of make them “readable” so to say 
Yeah you are right that would be another option as well:yum:

I was able to get this implemented and working however after a few hours of a system reboot the commands stop working and won’t work until I reboot HASS. Could this be an issue with my scripts\automation, or with my Logitech device or with the component?
Thanks,
