Thanks for the suggestion. I followed through on it, and I now have a new use for buttons on my Harmony hub that enable me to turn lights on/off. I stumbled through the same confusion as others on where to place the Python code & getting the HH configured to see the new device.
A very useful add-on to HA.
Can Harmony Hub read the current on/off state of an old-and-not-really-smart-TV (which has only a power-toggle button)?
Harmony doesn’t actually ‘know’ the state of anything, it ‘assumes’ based on what activity you’ve triggered, ie if it sent a power on command to a device when you pressed ‘watch a movie’ it assumes it’s on until it sends an off command at the end of that activity.
Makes sense. Thanks for your reply.
Is it possible to install this on Hassio on a rpi3? Because in Hassio i can’t use the commandline to use wget for downloading this component. What sould I do?
Edit:
I didn’t see this post Logitech Harmony Integration with @iandday's component. So it is auto discovered but only need some extra configuration. Thanks anyway 
Hi all,
I added this integration months ago and since few months i noticed that at HA reboot all script are triggered from imput select. I’m the only one facing this issue?
You added this over the built in component which uses used this library?
no, the default component.
Ok, so what scripts are executing on startup. Do you have an example of the script that’s executing?
any script. I have different script for different harmony activities.
Are similar to this:
plex:
sequence:
- service: remote.turn_on
entity_id: remote.harmony_hub
data:
activity: "27269375"
12:55
tvoff started
12:55
|TV turned off from HASS has been triggered|
||
12:55
|Harmony Soggiorno changed to Spenta|
||
12:55
|Powered off from Harmony Hub has been triggered|
||
12:55
|TV Soggiorno turned off|
||
12:55
|Prime Video turned off|
||
12:55
|BluRay turned off|
||
12:55
|VHS turned off|
||
12:55
|Netflix turned off|
||
12:55
|Plex turned off|
this time tvoff was the last so nothing happened. But for example sometimes the last is tvon so the script is executed and is quite annoying if someone is watching tv.
You want to look at any automation that would run those. What automations are those scripts in?
as you can see is the same code as the original post
- alias: "Plex started from HASS"
hide_entity: true
initial_state: 'on'
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: input_select.harmony_soggiorno
to: 'Plex'
action:
service: script.turn_on
entity_id: script.plex
- alias: "Plex started from Harmony Hub"
hide_entity: true
initial_state: 'on'
trigger:
platform: state
entity_id: remote.harmony_hub
condition:
condition: template
value_template: '{{ trigger.to_state.attributes.current_activity == "Guarda Plex" }}'
action:
service: input_select.select_option
entity_id: input_select.harmony_soggiorno
data:
option: "Plex"So, during startup your current_activity must be changing something to whatever activity you are on. Which would cause that to trigger.
Do your input_selects have initial set to anything? If so, remove that and it should restore the last state.
yes. Inital state was set. I just removed it. Let’s test if something changed. In the meantime thank you!
No changes. At HA boot all is triggered.
Hi Guys also hustling with this stuff…

I made this but if i put this “input_select.kamerr” in groups.yaml
i get this error "Invalid config for [group]: expected a dictionary for dictionary value @ data[‘group’]. Got ‘input_select.kamerr’ "
What i try i cant get this to work ok.
If i run the scripts it works.
But not when i select a input from the dropbox.
What is wrong?

well yeah, you need to correctly configure a group. Just putting an entity_id inside the group section is not how group is supposed to look.
How do you mean?
do i have to put some thing like this?
name: harmony_barts_remote
options:
- select input
- power_off
- tv_kijken
- shield_tv
- muziek
- netflix
- pc_kijken
initial: power_off
icon: mdi:monitor
No, follow the group documentation and add your group. Do you know what you are trying to do or are you just copying what other people had?
What are you trying to do with this ‘group’?
