Everything looks correct based on the script that you posted earlier so long as your remote is shown in the states screen ( the <> in the developer tools sidebar) as remote.living_room.

82

It is showing the same . Let me try double checking everything from scratch as i cannot see any logs in pi when i click the input select but i can power off and on from remote.living_room.

83

Couldn’t find anything why the config is not working. Any other way to troubleshoot input_select. I am using same names as the activities name given in remote.

84

@vageesh79 Have you checked that your IP address for the hub has not changed?

85

Yes checked that. I can power off the Tv from remote.living_room but the input select options doesn’t work.

86

Just making sure you’re not missing the basics.

Is your automation ever triggering (check last_triggered)?

If you issue the exact same command (the remote.turn_on) using the services dev tool, does it work?

87

Just checked the automation never triggered. I am trying to find the error.

88

Thanks everyone love this forum for a great support. Got it working. I started every config for remote from scratch and its working now. Must have missed something in old config.

89

Can someone please provide an example to trigger a device command from the Web Gui. I have a Harmony controlled fan unit that is independent of any activities but can’t quite work out how to make a simple button to trigger it

Here’s the command I use to mute my receiver. I have it set up as a script that I can activate.

volumemute:
  sequence:
  - service: remote.send_command
    entity_id: remote.living_room_tv
    data:
      device: "30557844"
      command: "Mute"
91

Thankyou, managed to get it to show up in gui by making it a script:

#Aircon
script:
  aircontoggle:
    alias: Air Conditioning Toggle
    sequence:
    - service: remote.send_command
      entity_id: remote.harmonyhub
      data:
        device: "37915702"
        command: "PowerToggle"
92

Is there a way to speed up the rate of send_command? I want to make a script to control volume via my Google Home. Using IFTTT I can say “hey google, turn the tv up by #”. The # calls the correct script which then counts down until the correct number of send_commands has been done. I have an example below. I also tried just making the sequence have the command multiple times, but either way the repeat of the command is slow.

script:
  tvup1:
    sequence:
      - service: remote.send_command
        data_template:
          device: 40358144
          command: volumeup
          entity_id: remote.living_room
  tvup2:
    sequence:
      - service: remote.send_command
        data_template:
          device: 40358144
          command: volumeup
          entity_id: remote.living_room
      - service: script.turn_on
        data:
          entity_id: script.tvup1
  tvup3:
    sequence:
      - service: remote.send_command
        data_template:
          device: 40358144
          command: volumeup
          entity_id: remote.living_room
      - service: script.turn_on
        data:
          entity_id: script.tvup2

I know this way may not be the best way, but I am new to all of this and trying to learn… and well, this is what I came up with, LOL. It does work, it’s just so slow that it’s not really too handy.

93

I had the same question.

94

I had a power blackout and since then my HA wont boot, I tried to pinpoint the problem and i came down to this plugin, whenever i activate it in my confifuration setup HA wont boot.
Before that everzthing was working flawlessly. What can i do to fix it?

95

Have you checked to see if the IP address of your Harmony hub has changed by chance?

96

that did the trick, i thoght i had the ip address of the hub set to manual but it was on dhcp.
Thx a million

97

How can I move the components if I used the all-in-one installer?

98

Complete noob here when it comes to homeassistant but could anyone tell me how to get started on the first step? I’m not really sure how to create a temp folder on my pi.

Install the required software:
(find the latest version of this software here: https://github.com/iandday/pyharmony/66)

Create a temp folder on your HASS computer and download pyharmony.

wget https://github.com/iandday/pyharmony/archive/master.zip

@cmcelroy09 this component is part of Home Assistant as of 0.34 - is there a reason you’re hand-installing it?

Ooops I guess hours upon hours of sitting in front of this screen starting to get to me!!

Ok so I’ve gotten everything setup in my config file but I am getting this error:

17-01-11 17:47:40 homeassistant.util.yaml: while scanning for the next token
found character ‘\t’ that cannot start any token
in “/home/homeassistant/.homeassistant/configuration.yaml”, line 295, column 1

Here is that section of the config:

script:
  htpc:
    sequence:
    - service: remote.turn_on
    entity_id: remote.living
    data:
      activity: "22992000"
  xbox:
