@Jtmoore81 Can you paste your yaml so we can have a look?
Here they are.

entity_id: script.gameroom_tv_onI see a few issues, first up, if you don’t use initial_state: on there are times automations get disabled. So I just add this in case. Second, there are 2 identical turn on automations. Not sure if you just pasted here twice or that’s what’s in your config. Third, it looks like you’ve named your harmony hub gameroom but then refer to it as remote.harmony_hub. You may want to double check that. Finally, you probably also want to get the current state from the harmony remote as well so your input_select is up to date with the correct activity. I’ve modified my working config for you. It’s also easier if you add more activities. Try this instead…
btw, just rename “Watch TV” in the automation to whatever your actual activity name is, and also update your input_select with the same option. Your scripts can stay the same

{{gameroom_harmony}}Hey guys- I’m having some problems with my input select and scripts not working. I have programmed switches to work no problem, and the poweroff script works, but the drop down input_select does not work at all and neither do the rest of the activity switches.
I can manually turn on the remote through the services section and also on the UI. It activates watch apple tv.
I’ve seen some posts on here about people adding information to the groups.yaml file- I have not added anything in there at all. Just this to the config: (it’s the right IP and it works in the UI)
remote:
- platform: harmony
name: Living Room
host: 10.0.0.10
activity: Watch Apple TV
Here are the various codes in different files/folders of course.

- PowerOff
- Listen to Music Inside
- Watch Apple TV
- Watch TV

watch_tv:

Script that does work:
power_off:
alias: Power Off
sequence:
- service: remote.turn_off
entity_id: remote.living_room@Matchmee At first glance I see different quotes which are not going to work. Change all of the ” to "
thanks, @Jer78 - I’m not sure why it copied like that in here, but those quotes are not what is in the script, they are the second option.
aside from those scripts, the input select also does nothing when you select something from the drop down menu
Have you tried just using an automation rather than the automation executing a script? Try this instead…
Also, just verify the activity numbers are correct. Sometimes I delete the harmony.conf file and let it recreate when restarting HA.

What is your condition doing? Your code is cleaner than what I came up with, so I decided to use it instead of mine. It works great, but the condition gives me config errors and I’m not sure why… I thought it was a simple, if the current activity doesn’t match your input selection, then return true. But for some reason, this is considered invalid.
Hmm, what error is it throwing? Is it just on startup because it hasn’t yet got the harmony current activity?
In any event, you don’t absolutely need the condition, but I put it in there if you have another automation that changes the the input_select based on the current activity, and in that case you don’t want it to send the activity request again.
No, I ignore the startup error. I know what’s going on with that.
Testing configuration at /config
Failed config
automation:
- Invalid config for [automation]: [platform] is an invalid option for [automation]. Check: automation->condition->0->platform. (See /config/configuration.yaml, line 147). Please check the docs at https://home-assistant.io/components/automation/
Then it goes on to list my entire config file.
Oddly, this is line 147 from my config:
group: !include groups.yaml
@HeffeD My bad. It should be condition and not platform. I edited my post above. Thanks for catching that
Yeah, that makes more sense. I should have spotted that myself, especially after reading the error message, but I’ve just recently started getting into templates, so I was paying too much attention to them looking for the problem… 
Thanks!

Been trying to get the input select to change back to powered off. It picks up the other changes from the Harmony remote. Any ideas? I am at a loss.
Here’s my automation config.

is there a simple way to get a volume slider and mute button directly in the group view?
this is what it looks like now:
and this is what my receiver can do:
Here’s how mine looks:
My entire config is here. Basically, I use the Harmony to set the volume on my Sonos and also use the Sonos volume level to update the HA UI. Take a look at the repo and let me know if you are still not clear.

Hi
i am wondering if there is a possibility to send additional commands to a z-wave device within the following part of an automation for the harmony:
{% if is_state("input_select.harmony_powertoggle", "Devices On/Off") %}L001
For example additionally to sending L001 through the harmony switching on a zwaveplug when “devices on” is chosen ?
@gambit2552 no i am talking about a normal zwave plug to be switched on/off along with a device controlled by the harmony. Sorry i might have been kind of unclear 
So one device turned on by the harmony (older non zwave wall plug) and another device (zwave plug) turned on by the zwave stick. So to say 2 different devices within in that one line something like “L001 and switch.turn_on” when devices on/off is chosen
I’d just do an input Boolean as the trigger then have both switches respond to it in a automation, I know probably not what your looking for though.
Thats sounds like it could be what i need 
Could you show how your “code” looks like?
