[PUBLISHED] Harmony Hub App (v1.0.4)

zimbra

So short summary; if I want to use Homey to start harmony flows (no other fancy features required) I need to install the 0.3.4 version and create a heartbeat flow?
Currently I'm running 1.04 but I also get the device error tcarnal mentioned before.

Julian

I currently have 1.0.4 working ok as said with the heartbeat flow. I know I have had that device error once or twice but I solved that by trying various things as PTP on both Homey and the Harmony hub, de-activating and activating the app and deleting and re-adding the hub itself. It has been quite a while I had to configure something so I do not know anymore what exactly did the trick. But did not get the error anymore. 

tcarnal

What do You guys create for a heartbeat flow?

really haven't got the faintest idea

glijie

make a flow that sends every 15 minutes  signal to the harmony hub. choose a signal that does nothing.
it is just to keep your harmony awake.

In Harmony Hub add a device you don't have. I added a Sony TV. Then create a flow that does anything to that device every 15- 30 minutes. I use the mute command. That way the Harmony Hub will stay online.

tcarnal

Perfect thats easy

thx for the explanations

spoelly

I just restart the app with the candy app every 2 hours works prerfect.

tcarnal

Yesterday had my first succes 
when I stopped a harmony session it finally activated a flow and turned my lights to full brightness

hope it keeps working

spoelly

Wow full brightness hope you had some   

tcarnal

It definitely woke me up

I'm trying to implement the keepalive flow. I can select my devices in the 'stuur een commando' card but for 'soort' and 'opdracht' I'm not getting a list of possible commands? Do I need to fix something manually?

tcarnal

I had the same thing, but after removing the Hub and adding it again in devices it worked

I send a guide command to my Ziggo Horizon box as it is a command the Horizon box won't accept on IR (i know stupid) but it seems to work

spoelly

@tcarnal you can get the guide working for the ziggo horizon box. By making a sequence menu wait 3 seconds and ok. 
you can also make a sequence to exit it with two times menu.

Sorry a bit of topic

tcarnal

Hahaha Thx,
 had thought of that in the past but haven't got around it yet and now the kids are trained in pressing menu and oke hahahaha

te guide button not working is ideal to keep the harmony awake in a flow without adding extra devices and stuff

thx

tcarnal

hmm worked for 2 day's but failed again

yet again the error i showed before even with the heartbeat flow at every 15min

Hey guys,

I'm fairly new to harmony, and do not yet own a hub. Planning to buy one though.
Is it also possible for homey to read what activity has been started by the remote (through the hub)? 

tcarnal

Normally yes

i use it to let say turn my light on after i shutdown an harmony thing with my remote

@JasperB

Yes! That was the latest addition to the Harmony App; the use of Harmony Activities as triggers in flows. In my case that enabled me to use the hardware remote from Logitech to start my television and receiver whilst Homey 'saw' the started activity and would power-on my subwoofer via a z-wave power-plug.

Unfortunately, the current Harmony App is broken / not 100%

JasperB

Thanks guys, luckily it works for me (using a keepalive flow).
Enabling me to close the blinds when I start watching tv

Still not working for me
Can't create the keepalive flow since I'm not retrieving any buttons..

Already reinstalled the app a few times.

tcarnal

Yesterday restarted my Homey due to some z-wave issues and like it was magic, my Harmony flows start working again

Hope they will work longer than 2day's like the last time

You could use candy to reboot every night as a workaround:

Are you using the official desktop app or browser (Chrome)?

B3rt

is it possible to send a specific command?

For example i want to use a option to send to my pioneer receiver/amplifier the command to switch between speakers A and speakers B

In harmony i assigned a button to do this, but how do i do this using a flow?

tcarnal

Yes Its possible to send a specific device command

tcarnal

My harmony is finally working
i have Candy restart the harmony app every 2 hours

First I did it every 2 days but then it still failed after some time

then restarted it every 12h but still had moments it stopped working 

so changed it to 2 hours and no issues ever sins

I have the same issue, but for some reason after you select the field for the device after 10 to 15 sec and suddenly pops up the device list and then I'll be able to select a command
