Harmony Hub Integration

ogiewon · February 18, 2018, 5:21pm

Early adopters, here is a very basic Logitech Harmony Hub integration for Hubitat. The install and configuration is manual, but it does appear to work in my limited testing over the past 24 hours.

You will need to get the harmony-api server up and running on another system on the same LAN as your Harmony Hub and Hubitat Elevation hub. I did this on a Raspberry Pi that I also use for Homebridge.

Here is the ReadMe from my Hubitat GitHub repository that should help get you started. Let me know how it goes. If you want to help improve the ReadMe, please feel free to submit a pull request with you edits.

# Hubitat HTTP Momentary Switch Driver

This driver implements the "Switch" and "Momentary" capabilities.  It is used to create an HTTP POST, PUT, or GET to a user defined IP Address and Port.  The use-case that this was created for specifically is to allow Hubitat to issue commands to a Logitech Harmony Hub via the maddox/harmony-api server (see https://github.com/maddox/harmony-api for details.)


Instructions for use

**Create Hubitat Driver**
- Open up the "http-momentary-switch.groovy" driver from this repository (https://github.com/ogiewon/Hubitat/blob/master/Drivers/http-momentary-switch.src/http-momentary-switch.groovy).  Make sure you hit the "RAW" button, then select/highlight all of the source code, and COPY everything (Ctrl-C on Windows, or right click->Copy). 
- In your Hubitat Elevation Hub's web page, select the "Drivers Code" section and then click the "+ New Driver" button in the top right corner.  This will open a editor window for manipulating source code.
- Click in the editor window.  Then PASTE all of the code you copied in the first step.
- Click the SAVE button in the editor window.

**Create Hubitat Device**
- In your Hubitat Elevation Hub's web page, select the "Devices" section, and then click the "+ Add Virtual Device" button in the top right corner.
- In the window that appears, please fill in the "Device Name", "Device Label", and "Device Network Id" fields.  Make sure the Device Network Id field is UNIQUE!  For example:
  - "Device Name" = Harmony Watch Apple TV
  - "Device Label" = Harmony Watch Apple TV
  - "Device Network Id" = HarmonyWatchAppleTV
- In the "Type" field, scroll to the bottom of the list and select "HTTP Momentary Switch"
