BTW, does it add lights automatically to the harmony as you ad them to the hub?
Edit: Also, is there a way for 2 way communication? I would like the harmony to keep in sync with homeseer.

The do use 2 way communication but my remote doesn't have a screen and I think I remember people saying its not so accurate. Not sure if that was fixed or what the issue is with that.

Ok...Last post for tonight. It appears you can update the status in the bridge without sending the command out. From the looks of it though, it looks like you need to be "linked" to the hub emulator to do it. I'll have to research this. I've been looking for an idea for a plugin to write, so maybe I can do this:
A Plugin that allows you to "link" homeseer devices to the ha-bridge. To start it would be merely to create and maintain the status of devices in the ha-bridge with a linked device in homeseer. It could also allow for easier creation of other bridge devices like ones for events, etc, but I would likely just start for keeping the status updated.
It would be really nice if I could find a way to have the plugin run the bridge itself and configure it, but that might be a lot of reverse engineering for not a lot of benefit (except that it could all be managed via homeseer).

Also the instructions were tailored for linux like it says in his post. Running from windows will be much easier doesnt require any cmd promps, batch files or anything for basic operation. If you had conflitcing ports or issues with the default settings you could run a custom batch to start it on another port, but if you are able to run on the defaults atleast for the first time, once you get into the web ui you could chnage the defaults from the web UI (which is much easier for some people) rather then a manual startup command.
All you really need to do on windows is double click or run the HA-Bridge java file. Before you do that I would make a folder and place it in the directory of your choice but thats really just to keep things clean.
After that it should be running and you need to open a web UI and either use.
http://localhost:8080
or
your severs IP followed by :8080
to open the web ui for the Ha Bridge.
If your sever is already using port 80 or 8080 for some other type of system then you'll need to change that default port to one of your choice. This can be a bit more difficult since can;t even get to the web ui in the first place. you need to either start up using a custom script for change the default port or shut down the other system that is using 80 or 8080 temporary while you get in once then change the port on this to another of your choice.

To spread the wealth, here's some quick and dirty instructions to get started on windows, please feel free to add any comments or suggestions, especially need something straightforward for linux users.
All the below assumes you've already installed java, and have it in the system path.
To confirm, run from a command prompt:
java -version

If you read threw you will see people are using it on google home and tons of people are using it on ECHO. I know you have changed your ports around and its confirmed you can't do that with Google Home. Echo I'm not sure but your problems are probley somewhere related in your setup for some reason or another.
