Hi guys!
Logitech Harmony was my entry door to the automation world. I still have a Harmony Hub and a Harmony Touch, and this guy is building a way to bring the Harmony back alive. I suppose that there are others Harmony users here, so I'm bringing the link to the Reddit topic.
Just click here.
The code is open, available at GitHub, and he is needing beta testers with Harmony One controls. The software is available to Mac, Windows and Linux.
As great as it is that someone is taking that on, I've moved on from Harmony. I've already replaced my Elite's battery once and it is now slowly dying. Unfortunately, the remote is past its prime. I'm now using the SofaBaton X2 and with its Home Assistant integration, it's been a game changer for me.
I am a Harmony user and was very unhappy when Logitech made the announcement they were done.
@jkudave, I read some impressions about SofaBaton when its was launched, and weren't positive. But there is a long time ago, since I was watching it since the initial development, I believe it was at Kickstarter.
Could you post your impressions while user? I assume that I still have my Harmony for a sentimental question, hehehe!
Impressions about SofaBaton remotes will vary depending on the remote in question. SofaBaton makes several types of remotes.
I am currently using the X2 remote and hub. My overall impressions are very good. There are some minor quirks with the software and functionality, but nothing that has stopped me from having it fully replace my old Harmony Elite. Overall, I highly recommend the X2.
my harmonies are still working from 2 houses.. with the old existing interface.. i can post my current code base.. not sure what your issue is.. i even have them interface to amazon the the hub to be able to say pause resume, turn on the tv etc.
OP was simply pointing out that someone is working on a new interface and way to keep older Harmony remotes working.
The "issue" is that Logitech officially ended software and configuration support for its older, legacy universal remotes on May 28, 2025. While these remotes still control your equipment using their current programming, you can no longer create new accounts, log in to modify settings, or add new devices to them.
The cutoff specifically targeted older devices that relied on the legacy Logitech Harmony Remote Software v7.x (rather than the newer MyHarmony application). Impacted models include:
Harmony 500 Series, Harmony 600 Series, Harmony 700 Series, Harmony 800 Series, Advanced & Touchscreen Models: Harmony 768, 785, 900, 1000, 1000i, 1100, 1100i, and Harmony for Xbox 360
The Original Harmony One and the Harmony One+ also were cutoff. The Harmony Ultimate One is still supported.
Hub-based remotes and models configurable via the newer MyHarmony app or Harmony Mobile App (iOS/Android) are not included in this cutoff. These models can still be reprogrammed and updated:
Thanks a lot for your kindly offer, @kahn-hubitat. I don't have issues at all, I just started to use Hubitat to control everything controlled by IR using Broadlinks RM3 Mini.
The Harmony is just expletive, but integrated to Hubitat and Alexa. The possibility to add new devices is the only attractive to me.
