Plugin: Harmony Hub Control

[quote=“cw-kid, post:588, topic:184450”]OK let us know how you get on?

I suggest we all contact Logitech Harmony support and raise a ticket about it. Link them to the post on their own forum

https://community.logitech.com/s/question/0D55A00008D1oIoSAJ/firmware-update-blocked-api-access?t=1545079101129

and maybe to the Reddit one as well that started it all.

I’ve already raised my support ticket and I’ve tweeted Logitech and contacted them via Facebook. we need to hassle them about it.[/quote]

I decided not to downgrade to version 201 because I read somewhere here, I think it was Rene’s post that it stopped working with Alexa. I will be in trouble because my wife is a big fan of Alexa to turn TV on/off LOL

It was me that said that. I blocked the Harmony domains on the router.

I’m sure many people have raised support tickets and sent them all the related links I did. Didnt expect anything to happen just wanted to contribute to Logitech’s work load over this outage.

Hi, I’ve been using the Harmony/Vera pluggin for years. Works great, thank you.

BUT THE LATEST UPDATE IS GIVING ERROR’s FOR ALL 8 HARMONIES IN MY HOUSE WITH NO CONTROL.

Version 2.22 that went live in November 2018 is not working working on my Vera Plus.

Anyone else having this problem and is there a way to revert back to 2.21?

Please help, Thank you.

Statement from Logitech support about reinstating XMPP in January (updated 3hrs ago at time of this posting).
I think that you can also install a special “beta, developer only” firmware version that reinstates XMPP right now.

Will give it a go.

EDIT: New firmware version does the trick! :slight_smile:

Back in business with “developer’s release”!

Sounds like Logitech are doing a u-turn and finally seeing some sense…

Although going forward the websockets API is probably the one they should be making official for 3rd party Home Automation integrations rather than the XMPP one.

Amazing, I am going to go this route. I was not expecting Logitech to react positively to our complaints so credit to them for listening and acting accordingly.

More importantly, thanks to you Rene for your quick turnaround with the websocket patch - your talent and dedication is very much appreciated :slight_smile:

I agree I think Rene’s Harmony plugin is one of the very best plugins for Vera, it allows so much control over the Harmony hubs and devices.

I cant seem to get another hub up and running when I add another instance of the Harmony control plugin it says Plug in not yet initialized. Wait a moment and then Reload device and Browser. I’ve done both but nothing changes.

I?m back in business with Harmony developers update, also I struggled getting it on my Mac, I had to pull a pc and make sure to have latest version of Harmony app…

Thank you Rene for working on a fix as well, your app is the best!

same here - back in business. thanks to Rene and cw-kid and of course to everyone in this thread.

With Rene’s update we don’t need the special firmware correct? Because it is working fine for now on 206 firmware with Rene’s last patch.

Correct, no need for the workaround and the ‘developer’ version from Logitech.

i am not too clear on this. i followed and click the link and installed “FIRMWARE TO ENABLE XMPP FOR DEVELOPERS ONLY”. now Rene’s plugin in vera is working for me. i just check the version of my harmony hub and it is 4.15.210 not 206.

Hi,

The latest 2.28 version of the plugin will work with all current (201,206,210) versions of the Logitech Hub firmware out of the box.

The earlier versions of the plugin do not work with 206 and only with the 210 (and later?) versions if you apply the workaround from Logitech to enable the XMPP API.

Cheers Rene

Hi Rene,

Hoping you can help but first of all, thanks for all the work on this plugin. It has been amazing. So as one user reported earlier, I have installed your latest LUA (on my controller running UI7) and was able to get one of my Harmony’s working again perfectly. When I go to add another, however, it provides the blue bar at the top indicating “Harmony Control: Configure IP Address”. Going into the new add, it does not provide the option screen to add the IP, login and password regardless of how many times I reload. In my other controller which is running UI5, unfortunately neither existing Harmony’s began to work, instead that same error message began to display although all the IP’s, login and passwords are there. Any ideas? Should I downgrade back to 2.2 (or 1.7) and use the Harmony Hub Firmware fix instead?

Hi,

I found a first time problem on an additional device indeed. Go to the device Control, Advanced, Variables, and edit the UIVersion variable to any value. For example 1. Then reload the luup engine and refresh your browser. That should do it.

Cheers Rene

Outstanding! Thanks again for all your hard work on this Rene…I am back in business. :slight_smile:

Many thanks for the fix. I’m on version 2.22 with auto update. Sharing to other users who might encounter the same problem since the 2.28 is not yet published, follow instructions here to force update to the latest version - http://forum.micasaverde.com/index.php/topic,36437.0.html

Happy holidays!
