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.
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)
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.
