Multiple Harmony HUBS?

casperse · October 13, 2018, 7:14pm

Hi All

How do you setup multiple Harmony hubs in the config file?

>     remote:  
>       - platform: harmony
>         name: hub_stuen
>         hosts:
>           - 192.168.1.13
>           - 192.168.1.14 
> 
>     remote:
>       - platform: harmony
>         name: hub_stuen
>         host: 10.168.1.13
>         name: hub_aktivitet
>         host: 10.168.1.14

I just cant get it working?

Best regards
Casperse

You shouldn’t need to set anything, discovery will find them.

casperse · October 13, 2018, 7:36pm

hass.io finds them and generates the harmony hub files

But my activation script only works when I have defined a hub manually with name and IP?

casperse · October 13, 2018, 7:37pm

remote:
  - platform: harmony
    name: 'hub_aktivitet'
	  host: 192.168.0.165
    name: 'hub_stuen'
    host: 192.168.0.166

## Input_select harmony
input_select:
  tv_stue:
    name: TV stue
    options:
      - 'PowerOff'
      - 'Se Film & TV'
      - 'Lyt til Musik'
    initial: 'PowerOff'
    icon: mdi:monitor
  tv_aktivitesrum:
    name: TV Aktivitetsrum
    options:
       - 'PowerOff'
       - 'Chromecast'
       - 'Play a PS4 Game

# Harmoney scripts
  tv_stuen_activity_on:

        entity_id: remote.hub_stuen
        data:

If I remove it and use discovery only one Hub works?

casperse · October 13, 2018, 11:05pm

This might be the solution but I dont really understand the setup?

casperse · October 14, 2018, 10:47am

Anybody who can help me having two harmony hubs?
D I have to disable auto discovery and set them manually?
Auto discovery only works for the first it finds?

Here is my config for two Harmony hubs that works fine.

remote:
  - platform: harmony
    name: Shaynohub
    host: 192.168.0.6
  - platform: harmony 
    name: Cinema
    host: 192.168.0.20
    activity: Movie

casperse · October 15, 2018, 6:33am

@Shayne_Bergan I tried that but got errors in the log file?

did you disable auto discovery for harmony?

Do I need to list all activities under each remote hub?

Sofar I have mine in a select list:

## Input_select harmony
input_select:
  tv_stue:
    name: TV stue
    options:
      - 'PowerOff'
      - 'Se Film og TV'
      - 'Lyt til Musik'
    initial: 'PowerOff'
    icon: mdi:monitor
  tv_aktivitesrum:
    name: TV Aktivitetsrum
    options:
       - 'PowerOff'
       - 'Chromecast'
       - 'Play a PS4 Game'

And then the scripts like this:

# Harmoney scripts
  tv_stuen_activity_on:
    alias: "Tænd se Film og TV"
    sequence:
      - service: remote.turn_on
        entity_id: remote.HUB_STUEN
        data:
          activity: 'Se Film og TV'

  tv_stuen_activity_off:
    alias: "Sluk se Film & TV"
    sequence:
      - service: remote.turn_off
        entity_id: remote.HUB_STUEN
        data:
          activity: 'Se Film og TV'

  musik_stuen_activity_on:
    alias: Tænd Lyt til Musik
    sequence:
      - service: remote.turn_on
        entity_id: remote.HUB_STUEN
        data:
          activity: 'Lyt til Musik'

  musik_stuen_activity_off:
    alias: Sluk Lyt til Musik
    sequence:
      - service: remote.turn_off
        entity_id: remote.HUB_STUEN
        data:
          activity: 'Lyt til Musik'

  ps4_activity_on:
    alias: Tænd Play a PS4 Game
    sequence:
      - service: remote.turn_on
        entity_id: remote.HUB_AKTIVITET
        data:
          activity: 'Play a PS4 Game'

  ps4_activity_off:
    alias: Sluk Play a PS4 Game
    sequence:
      - service: remote.turn_off
        entity_id: remote.HUB_AKTIVITET
        data:
          activity: 'Play a PS4 Game'

  chromecast_aktivitetsrum_on:
    alias: Tænd Chromecast aktivitetsrum
    sequence:
      - service: remote.turn_on
        entity_id: remote.HUB_AKTIVITET
        data:
          activity: 'Chromecast'

  chromecast_aktivitetsrum_off:
    alias: Sluk Chromecast aktivitetsrum
    sequence:
      - service: remote.turn_off
        entity_id: remote.HUB_AKTIVITET
        data:
          activity: 'Chromecast'

  aktivitetsrum_off:
    alias: Sluk aktivitetsrum
    sequence:
      - service: remote.turn_off
        entity_id: remote.HUB_AKTIVITET
        data:
          activity: 'PowerOff'

  stuen_off:
    alias: Sluk stuen
    sequence:
      - service: remote.turn_off
        entity_id: remote.HUB_STUEN
        data:
          activity: 'PowerOff'

Allot of people with two hubs seem to have some switch config?

Shayne_Bergan · October 15, 2018, 8:25am

I don’t use Auto discovery at all… That could be the difference.

casperse · October 15, 2018, 10:16am

@Shayne_Bergan

So you dont get the double errors?

YAML file /config/configuration.yaml contains duplicate key "remote". Check lines 548 and 552.

No, you only need to put remote once… Just copy the same way I’m doing mine. ,(With your IP and hub names)

casperse · October 15, 2018, 11:56am

@Shayne_Bergan THANKS!

I read it wrong, and after changing it like you wrote above:

remote:
  - platform: harmony
    name: HUB_AKTIVITET
    host: 192.168.0.166
#   activity:
  - platform: harmony
    name: HUB_STUEN
    host: 192.168.0.165
#   activity:

and did the change to discovery

# Discover some devices automatically
discovery:
  ignore:
    - axis
    - harmony
  enable:
    - homekit

And also fixed capital letters for my Hub names (Its case sensitive)
Deleted the hub files
It all works! - Thanks!

Have you been able to integrate it with Google Assistant?

# Google assistant
google_assistant:
  project_id: !secret gass_projectid
  api_key: !secret apikey
  exposed_domains:
    - switch
    - light
#   - group
  entity_config:
        script.tv_stuen_activity_on:
          name: Tænd se Film og TV
          expose: true
          aliases:
            - Tænd se Film og TV

Again thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

I just wanted to post and say thanks to @casperse & @Shayne_Bergan. I was also having this issue and ended up with a similar layout to @casperse (without the activity entry). The only thing that was stopping it from working for me was the .conf files that were previously in the directory. Once I deleted them & restarted HA it worked
