Where would I find the new settings to get the new authToken?
you should be able to remove pyharmony 1.0.10, replace it with 1.0.11 and have it functioning. That’s how I got my dev environment to work again.
Seems you are correct. Looks like my logs just didn’t update after restarting HASS. My logs showed:
16-11-18 19:55:20 pyharmony.auth: Malformed JSON (GetUserAuthTokenResult): {'GetUserAuthTokenResult': None}
16-11-18 19:55:20 homeassistant.components.remote.harmony: Logitech login failed for remote: Living Room TV
I just didn’t look at the date stamp. After about a minute it’s working properly again. I also updated my remote folder just to be sure.
Excellent work as always @iandday!
great to hear 
For what it’s worth I still have the problem of hass not being able to auto install pyharmony:
(homeassistant_venv) homeassistant@homepi:~ $ hass --script check_config

SEEMS to be working fine after a manual install but I haven’t had much experience with it working so I’ll confirm later after I’ve figured it out a bit… Is there any way to have the current_activity in the Remote tile? I haven’t figured that out yet and I just have it separate with both the default Remote tile and:
sensors:
- platform: template
sensors:
family_room:
value_template: '{{ states.remote.family_room.attributes.current_activity }}'
friendly_name: 'Family Room'
Still finding the configuration of hass challenging and I wish there was an editor with a real-time preview 
After having this great component working for two wonderful days, I can’t seem to apply the fix for 1.0.11.
logs:
16-11-20 13:01:25 homeassistant.loader: Loaded remote.harmony from homeassistant.components.remote.harmony

i’ve installed pyharmony 1.0.11, however ‘python3 pyharmony’ returns
python3: can’t open file ‘pyharmony’: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
I’ve also updated the ‘components’ to reflect the new authToken.
are there any specific methods for uninstalling/reinstalling/updating this? i’ve been using the guide at the top of the following post:
tia
If you’re using the Home Assistant virtual environment then make sure you install pyharmony within that environment.
thanks mihalski
i’m in
(hass_venv) hass@raspberrypi:/tmp$
when i
pip install master.zip
and get
Successfully installed pyharmony-1.0.11
upon completion
however still get:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ python3 pyharmony
python3: can’t open file ‘pyharmony’: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
or
(hass_venv) hass@raspberrypi:/home/pi$ python3 pyharmony
python3: can’t open file ‘pyharmony’: [Errno 2] No such file or directory
and a hass restart still shows the JSON failure in the log 
EDIT: success! fyi…
close/stop hass
uninstall pyharmony
delete old harmony_conf
apt-get update/upgrade
reboot
hass now automatically downloads pyharmony 1.0.11, makes the new conf file etc, and the component works again!
big thanks @iandday @mihalski @BTallack @Bahnburner !!!
Thank you Iandday for this fantastic component!
I have it connecting with 2 harmony hubs and will be configuring homeassistant to trigger activities.
I also have an older version of the hub, called Harmony Link.
I see that the readme for some versions of pyharmony refer to support for Link/Hub,
Is there any chance support can be added for the link? (I know it’s asking a lot, but maybe it is not too different than hub)
I will be happy to help if I can. The Link is easy to find for less than $20, so it is a cheap alternative with very similar function to hub.
Thank you!
I cant for the life of me figure out how to install this on a all in one installation.
Is anyone so kind to post which commands i have to run in order to install this?
i installed on the HASS AiO, and this process got me there (compiled from posts by @datamonkey @BTallack):
sudo apt-get install subversion
sudo su -s /bin/bash hass
source /srv/hass/hass_venv/bin/activate
cd /tmp
svn export https://github.com/iandday/home-assistant/trunk/homeassistant/components/remote
then copy the ‘remote’ folder manually from:
/srv/hass/hass_venv/tmp
to:
/srv/hass/hass_venv/lib/python3.4/site-packages/homeassistant/components
add the component to your configuration.yaml:
remote:
- platform: harmony
name: Harmony
username: YOURHARMONYUSERNAME
password: YOURHARMONYPASSWORD
host: YOURHUBIP
port: 5222
a swift reboot, and HASS will install pyharmony, and should create a new file in your main config dir - harmony_yourharmonyhubname.conf
from there you should be good to go!

have you tried setting up the link as a third device? I only have the hubs so I dont know if it would work or not.
Well i did all that and i still cant boot HA.
Is it possible that because my password for harmony contains special charachters such as ! or @ it fails somewhere?
Edit: that was it the whole time i used " " and it worked
Something has changed… 6 minutes stuck at:
16-11-21 07:08:02 INFO (Thread-5) [homeassistant.components.remote.harmony] Loading Harmony component: Family Room
Could it be something to do with the work on the async core? Weird thing is yesterday it started fine a few times even with the latest hass.
can you set logging to debug for the remote component?
@iandday Would you be able to clarify the proper formatting on sending a device command for me?
Activities are pretty straight forward. I’m able to trigger an activity with:
- service: remote.turn_on
entity_id: remote.living_room_tv
data:
activity: "15508274"
However I’m not sure how I’d trigger a Volume down command. According to the conf file, the receiver is ’ 30557844 - Onkyo AV Receiver’ and the command is ‘VolumeDown’ but I do now know how I’d format this data.

I just used the below data to Mute my sound bar
{“entity_id”:“remote.family_room”,“device”:“35128149”,“command”:“Mute”}
So for your case it should be
- service: remote.send_command
entity_id: remote.living_room_tv
data:
device: "30557844"
command: "VolumeDown"

That did the trick. Thanks @iandday!
Now if only I could find a way to make it look a little cleaner than:
You could set a input select component to hold the actions you want, then a script “call action”.
The script would lookup what select option is currently selected, then send that to the Remote Component.
That’s the only suggestion I could think off the top of my head.
See https://home-assistant.io/cookbook/perform_actions_based_on_input_select/
That’s what I did for the Activity select and it worked well. I’m just looking for something to control the volume more cleanly now.
