New Harmony Problem in 0.85: HASSIO looses connection after a while

Configuration
21

ok, now also for first time i use websockets, also have the issue unavailable, never had this before on older api
but the automation a few post up did help me
i received a notification, “unavailable” from that automation
but what i CANTtell, is that it will be reconnected again , my automation did it
i recently upgraded to 86.1 from 84.2, so first time i use websockets

22

ok, now state unavailable 2 times in i think 5 min max

23

log here :

2019-01-25 09:59:33 ERROR (MainThread) [aioharmony.hubconnector] 192.168.0.21: Connection timed for hub 10271701

ok, more and more websockets issues and unavailable states
going to load harmony as a custom component now from older release

25

The automation described a few posts above solved my problem, so it might be the easier thing to do, at least for now.

26

yes, automations works indeed, mine runs 10 times a day
i see on my remote now, i think when the automation runs … “pairing succesful”
never seen that before

27

it seems, that the automations-code will not work (for me)

  - alias: Harmony monitor
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: remote.harmony_hub
      to: 'unavailable'
    action:
      - service: notify.pushbullet
        data_template:
          message: >
            Harmony is {{ states('remote.harmony_hub') }}, trying to sync
      - service: remote.harmony_sync
        entity_id: remote.harmony_hub

and i got this here
2021-03-03 12:46:16 ERROR (MainThread) [aioharmony.harmonyclient] 192.168.1.220: Unable to determine if XMPP is enabled: [Errno 113] Connect call failed (‘192.168.1.220’, 5222)

ps: i need XMPP enabled.

Just Google on how to enable XMPP.

Even with XMPP enabled the harmony Hub seems to loose contact regularly.
Also with the App on my Android phone. Crappy firmware in the Hub?

29

XMAPP is enabled. need it for my KODI (Logitech-Bluetooth-Connection)

Crappy firmware in the Hub?
hmm, i dont know.

Software
Remote: 4.15.280
Hub: 4.15.280
Nest: 1.1.4
HEOS: 1.1.7
Caseta: 1.3.2
RootCertificates: 1.1.10
Qivicon: 1.2.3

is the code for reconnect right?

  - alias: Harmony monitor
    trigger:
      platform: state
      entity_id: remote.harmony_hub
      to: 'unavailable'
    action:
      - service: notify.pushbullet
        data_template:
          message: >

      - service: remote.harmony_sync

Hi there!
I have HA and a Harmony Hub for a while and discovered I can use them together.
But I’m in the same path as some of you: my hub is marked as unavailable while the green led is bright and I can see it through some other services but in HA.

I set an automation as proposed above; I only receive the notifications but the call to sync does not seem to have any effect. Even launch manually through the DevTools, the service has no success in reconnecting the hub in HA.

I don’t understand the statement “load harmony as a custom component”. Could someone using that solution explain it briefly to me (and others in the same situation?)

Regards,
