Hi,
How should I install the 5.18 version

please try to run the "Update System" function from your 911 page. That should install the latest mono version available. You can get to that function via Maintenance/911 page then clicking Upgrade to HS4:

Thanks spud it worked.. I have one more question though. I want to write an event, such that when I pause any movie or show using harmony, I want to take an action like dim the lights using z-wave (then part I can achieve, only need help in the IF condition).

AFAIK, the harmony hub only reports back activity changes. I don't think there is anyway to know that any device commands are sent, such as pause. I solved the problem by adding a device that receives and decodes the IR commands that the hub sends.

What kind of device? Can you pls explain the procedure also?

I'm a bit out of my league here but it looks like mono 5.16 [ATTACH]n1413887[/ATTACH]

if you set the log level to Trace, and see the following line in the error stack trace when you try to add the hub, then it is the same problem and you need to upgrade mono.

System.Runtime.Serialization.Json.JsonFormatReaderInterpreter.ReadSimpleDictionary

I made a custom Arduino (ESP8266) with an IR receiver. The hardware was really simple. The code was not too difficult either, due to the IR library for the 8266. I use the drule plugin and a couple of scripts to get the remote codes from it into HomeSeer.

I did find the line you mentioned in the log when I tried to add the hub. I was able to do the update to Mono 5.18.10. When I try to add the hub however I still get the same message. I am having a bit of trouble when I change the log to trace in the Harmony plug-in. I lose my connection to the Hometroller and can only recover with a power down.

After restarting the Hometroller, removing and reinstalling the plug-in, it is now working ,. I was able to add both of my hubs.
Many thanks

Great news! Was a mono problem. Did the update Spud and now working perfectly! Can once again control TV, DVR, Blu-ray, etc. Thank you.

I am now on Mono Version: 5.20.1.19

previously was on Mono Version: 5.0.1.1

I didn’t re-install Harmony App, Once Mono was update it linked perfectly.

Thanks spud, I was successfully able to connect harmony hub. I have another question. I have z-wave switches and harmony elite, I want to achieve that if I click on the play button on the harmony remote then it should switch off the light and when I click on pause then dim the lights by 25% and at the end when I stop then lights should be 100%. How can I achieve this?

As joegr told you above, it is not possible with the HarmonyHub plugin, as it can only detect activity changes, it cannot detect directly button presses on the remote.
