These are not Harmony related, those will say “Harmony something something …”
Can you do a reload (at the bottom of the advanced settings pannel of each device) and see what happens then. At a reload the child devices are created when not yet existing.
I did a reload and a reboot but to make it more clear, there are no child devices. Just the Harmony which lists the devices and they are grayed but just do not show up anywhere.
I took the liberty of deleting the app and reinstalling it and again adding the child devices and now with result! No idea what went wrong last time. The only difference I can think of is that this time I used settings to add ip, user id and password while on the previous install i used the advanced tab, but maybe there was just a hickup of some sort. I do have some experiences with hickups ;(.
Will see wether all works now and keep you posted!

Hi Hans,
Good to hear it is now working. It is better to use the settings tab then the Advanced as the save button on the settings tab will also trigger a reload and as this plug in rewrites the json and some xml files a reload is required to pick up the changes.
quick question, is there any way to actually “see” the mode has been chosen by the remote on vera ?
all it shows right now is “list_device” … as last command … but i never see a action/scene to be active … now do the triggers based on this work …
is there anything i have set up wrong ?
another thing is the bluetooth error …
CMD: Failed sending command start_activity to Harmony Hub - errorcode=401, errormessage=Bluetooth not paired
not sure where this is from (not use bluetooth at all)

Hi,
You will see the current activity when you set the Current Activity Poll Interval to anythis else then zero the Vera will show the current activity.
I think there is some setup issue with your Hub causing the bluetooth error. Have you tried the Harmony App?
that fixed it thanks for that … the Bluetooth thing i have not solved yet …
i made about 95% of the setup using the Mac application and sync via USB
later then i used the iOS app … but i was not at home … maybe that causes it …
well everything working just fine …
do you maybe have a hint on how i can use a Button as a aswitch ?
the idea behind it is to use the harmony physical remote to trigger some HA items “on key press”
the sub-devices added working just fine … BUT i need to press the button longer as the interval time is for the plug-in to register it …
well thats not a plugin issue … its just how things are, but maybe someone can point me in the right direction ?
i did set up a fake Device which does not really exist … and just map the functions comming with it to vera-triggers …
in theory this should work if i can find a device that actually keep the status and not do momentary acations …
anyone a ware of a harmony device maybe capable of doing this ?
[quote=“reneboer, post:53, topic:184450”][quote=“CucK, post:49, topic:184450”]Forgive me if this is a stupid question - I have added the app to my Vera and been playing around with it for the past few hours in conjunction with my new Harmony Home Hub. I’ve read the app documentation and this thread but it is not clear to me: can you use this app to hit a physical button on my harmony home remote and trigger the Vera to turn a light on? If so can someone be so kind as to walk me though it? I’m on UI7.
I have created children and can get the Vera to trigger the hub but I want to get my remote to trigger the Vera. I’ve tried to create scenes to watch for hub activities and buttons but no luck?
Thanks in advance[/quote]
You can have the Vera detect the activity you select on your remote by setting the Polling Interval. The Harmony does not report anything else (button click for a device) so you cannot trigger any actions like that on your Vera. To control your Vera via IR you will have to add an IR receiver. Several form topics on thta exists.

I’m trying to determine if my question is related to CucK’s. I have the Harmony Home Control and the remote has dedicated Home Automation buttons (see attached image). I would like to map these to scenes. I know that Vera is not natively supported by this Harmony, but I’m hoping there is a plugin or “hack” that would allow this. The Harmony UI is somewhat restrictive about how these buttons are mapped (not as flexible as their other buttons).
You can use a Keene IR module, Rex’s KiraRx plug in and a dummy device on your Harmony to trigger a scene that is not related to the current activity on the Harmony. A few posts back you find the links to Rex’s plug in and all details. I just installed the module and plug in and it works great. Eliminated my z-wave remote for the lights and can now do that with my Harmony remote.
short question
everything works perfectly … even my activity based z-wave commands are almost instantly.
however … after some time the icon in the master plugin stays Blue … and it does not update the status anymore until the next lua restart …
any idea what that could be ?
everything works perfectly for about 10-15 times … and then it just stops and the icon stays blue
also clicking activity buttons on the UI (UI5) … just beeing ignored … basically nothing happens anymore.
Link Status says: Error
i guess this is related to the network itself … and since this is wifi based … its easy to happen.
my suggestion would be to have some sort of auto retry the connection after a failure …

using 2.0.2 of the plugin[/quote]
To how many seconds do you have the poll time set? Maybe there is some clash in setting to poll time too short and other commands. I have mine set at 60 seconds and not seeing this issue. I am using a busy flag to make sure no two commands get send at the same time and it seems the plugin stays in the busy status when some condition occurs. I’ll go over the code to see if I can find how that may happen and see if I should set a limit on the busy status so the error would clear automatically.
in all honesty … i actually do stress it alittle … in order to have the z-wave commands (simple vera triggers) to fire as quickly as possible (wife mode)
the polling is set to 15 sec and i set the re-try count to 6 now … i will stress it a little bit more for more clear data on how it occours …

Hi,
Can you try this one? I added two timeouts. One incase the connection goes bad in the middle of a command reply. The other is the busy status lasts more then a minute. I tried to get it to miss a single command but it did not even after 20-30 in a row.
Hi, I am running it on a VeraLite with UI6 and one with UI7 and not having issues. What do you see when it crashes? Can you set the loglevel to debug and see what causes the Vera to crash?

Did you see Logitech released the api today?[/quote]
great news … BUT . it looks like they will be quite Picky …
hopefully my worries are thin air …[/quote]
I dropped them an email so lets see what they say.
Update: I know what they say; it is still underdevelopment will be released soon. So I’ll be waiting for soon to happen I guess ;).
Has anyone seen the Harmony plugin create a ’ ’ directory in /overlay/www/cmh/skins/default/icons? My Vera 3 is prevented from upgrading due to a limited amount of disk space in /overlay, and I was searching for files that are no longer used. I came across a small set of Harmony files in this “blank” ’ ’ directory.
cd /overlay/www/cmh/skins/default/icons
cd ’ ’
ls -l Harmon
thanks for that … the Bluetooth thing i have not solved yet …
