Sequence of harmony hub commands not working as expected!

Configuration
1

So I’ve got the harmony hub successfully sending commands and running activities. Where I’m running into an issue with with a script that involves multiple harmony hubs commands being send a couple of seconds apart.

The following commands in the sequence work (although with really big delays between the different commands):
Menu, DirectionDown, DirectionDown, DirectionDown

Then it fails at the next one: Select

I’m positive I’m using the correct device ID and command, see from my harmony hub conf file:

The point of this is to have my sleep timer set on my TV automatically. It should go Menu, Down, Down, Down, Select, Select, Left, Exit but it getting suck at the SELECT command. Is that particular command just bugged for my Panasonic TV? If it isn’t fixable does anyone know of an alternate way for me to accomplish this with HA?

Would’ve thought it would be much simpler to do it the other way around, try setting it up as an activity on your Harmony and then either trigger the activity via HA as part of a script along with your lights or set the script up in emulated_hue and just add it to the activity on your Harmony and trigger it however you fancy.

True, I’ll probably just do that then. I try to avoid making activities since I have a lot already and they clutter things up but that is probably easiest. I haven’t tried emulated hue yet will set that up soon. Thank you.

I read somewhere that you could control the delay and repeats of a harmony command. Any idea where and how I adjust that in HA?
