Jon00 Harmony Control

There is no status in Homeseer from devices operated by a remote; only activities.

Yeah, when I said devices I meant homeseer devices I have it installed so I can check it out and right now it just says there are no activities for my hub found.

It allows you to control Activities and send IR/Bluetooth commands you have set up as Devices from Homeseer primarily using events. You can also trigger on activities operated via other means (Remote/Keyboard/App).

For direct control of Homeseer from a Harmony remote, I wrote a second application called Jon00 FLIRC. Details here. This give you the option to use assign unused Harmony remote buttons to control lights etc or setup your own activity just for Homeseer control applications. Whilst it may not be the most elegant solution, it was the only thing I could come up with the limitations of using IR.

What I meant was do the devices reflect what activity is currently active on the harmony hub or does it only give you the ability to change them.

I think it is set for 5 seconds but you can change that in the settings

How long is the poll time?

Jon, does this monitor it just give you control?

Nice. I just ordered a Harmony Home off of eBay. I use Global Cache Wifi controllers in most of the rooms but for some reason have a couple of things in one room that my old GC-100 just has issues with. Hoping that the Harmony will have better results.

This remote plugin allows you to control the Activities and Devices for Harmony Hubs. Each plugin instance will support 10 hubs, however you can run additional instances (on different PC's) if 10 is not enough! Each Hub will be assigned up to 17 virtual devices and control is via drop down or Homeseer events.

The plugin relies on the BWS Systems Harmony Rest API (same team who write the HA-Bridge) and requires Java installed. Whilst this is a Windows plugin, Homeseer users running Linux can use this as a remote plugin, provided they have a Windows PC to run this on their local Network.

As always, it can be downloaded from my site (Click on my banner below). Any problems, please let me know.
