Unable to see Harmony Hub

[portigui]

I am new to HASS let alone HASS.io. I was able to get it installed on a RPI3 and it discovered my chromecasts with no problem. I was then able to setup my Leviton light switches and they turn on/off as expected. Everything says it should find my Harmony Hubs as discovery is turned on by default. Something did something at one point as I see harmony_<room>.conf files that were generated in the config folder. However either I do not know what to do from here or something is still not right as nothing from here shows up in the entities. Can someone please shed some light on what I am supposed to do now to be able to control the devices on the hub? I have been reading almost all day and just shooting blanks at this point.

Thank you!

Nothing shows up automatically, you’ll need to set things up manually. Most people like to use input_select to control their activities.

To make this work, you’ll need to add your activity codes for your activities to your config file. The codes are in the harmony.conf files.

This is the input_select for one of my hubs.

input_select:
#Harmony
  tv_room:
    name: TV Room
    options:
     - Select Activity
     - Watch TV
     - Watch Roku
     - Watch a Movie
     - Listen to Music
     - Play Xbox
     - Listen to Volumio
     - Watch Fire TV
     - PowerOff
    initial: Select Activity

Then you can create your automation. My automation for that hub looks like this. (I apologize for the difficulty to read in the activity section, but the automation editor messes these up when you save a new automation)

- alias: TV Room Controls
  initial_state: true
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    entity_id: input_select.tv_room
  action:
  - service: remote.turn_on
    data_template:
      entity_id: remote.tv_room
      activity: '{% if is_state("input_select.tv_room", "PowerOff") %}-1 {% elif is_state("input_select.tv_room",
        "Watch TV") %}18609512 {% elif is_state("input_select.tv_room", "Watch Roku")
        %}37059432 {% elif is_state("input_select.tv_room", "Watch a Movie") %}18609955
        {% elif is_state("input_select.tv_room", "Listen to Music") %}18609893 {%
        elif is_state("input_select.tv_room", "Listen to Volumio") %}38322749 {% elif
        is_state("input_select.tv_room", "Play Xbox") %}30907506 {% elif is_state("input_select.tv_room",
        "Watch Fire TV") %}39223935 {% endif %}'
  - service: input_select.select_option
    entity_id: input_select.tv_room
    data_template:
      option: Select Activity

Change the input_select entries in the automation to whatever you name yours, and the numbers in blue are the codes for that activity in your harmony.conf files.

Then you can add a no-frills card to Lovelace:

Or a few more frills:
