Harmony Hub Integration

Although this is a cloud to cloud solution, it works until a local solution is finalized.

Control Hubitat from Harmony Activities

  1. Setup Hubitat SmartThings Integration

  2. Create a simulated switch in SmartThings

  3. Use Rule Machine in Hubitat to assign actions based upon the virtual switch turning on.
    Note: So the virtual switch in Hubitat is ready to activate again, set a rule to turn it off after a 1 second delay.

  4. From the Harmony App > Harmony Setup > Devices - Authorize connection to SmartThings and enable access to the virtual switch in SmartThings.

  5. Create an activity (Ex. Dining Room OFF) and set the home controls to turn the virtual switch on when the activity starts. This could also be assigned to an existing activity, and as a second example, you would have the virtual switch trigger a rule via RM that dims your lights when the Harmony activity starts.

You can also go the other direction if you need to - Control Harmony from Hubitat

  1. Setup Other Hub

  2. Install the Logitech Harmony Trigger SmartApp in SmartThings (Marketplace > SmartApps > + More)

  3. Using the Logitech Harmony Hub Control SmartApp, configure it to react to the state of your virtual switch, which is linked to your OH switch in SmartThings, and it will now start a Harmony activity.
