![]() ![]() If there is a pending update, accepting that update may clear up the problem, but not always. ![]() If so, it will clear itself up fairly quickly without you doing anything at all. If your TV seems to be going on and off randomly, or randomly switching from one activity to another, no matter which specific integrations you’re using, I suspect this is the problem. My guess, and it’s purely a guess, is that when there’s a pending firmware update for some reason some of the activities get duplicated while the firmware check is going on. This can really mess up the harmony/SmartThings integration. ![]() Įvery so often, usually on a day when Harmony is just about to update their mobile app, everything goes bonkers for about an hour and a lot of commands get sent twice. Use the SmartThings mobile app to install one instance of the “Logitech Harmony Trigger” smartapp (or Harmony Control smartapp if that’s the one you have) to allow a SmartThings-controlled device like a contact sensor or switch to trigger a specific Harmony activity.Ī) Everything was working great, and I didn’t change anything, but now my television keeps changing activities by itself. Use the SmartThings mobile app to install the “Harmony Connect” smartapp to assign the Harmony Hub to a Room at your SmartThings location. Use the Harmony mobile app to add SmartThings-controlled devices to Harmony activities, or to assign SmartThings-controlled devices to It all seems to work well for me, it’s just a confusing set up. (For some accounts, this may be named “Harmony Control.” ) Again, you may have to do something to get the list of installed smartapps under rooms view to refresh so you can see the name of the new trigger, but it does get created once you’re done with the set up wizard in the marketplace section. To add a new trigger, go back into marketplace, smartapps, more, and choose the “Logitech Harmony trigger” SmartApp. So eventually, you will end up with multiple installed smart apps in the Rooms View: one “harmony connect” smartapp (this just connects the hub to your network), and one instance of the harmony trigger smart app for each trigger that you set up (these show up under the name you gave the trigger at the end of the set up wizard each time). To find the triggers smartapp, Start by going to Marketplace, Then scroll down to More and select that. You do get a nice set of options in the trigger set up wizard, everything from the arrival sensor to time of day. You will have to install a new instance of the harmony trigger smartapp from the Marketplace for each individual trigger that you want. But once It does show up on your installed SmartApps list in the Rooms view, you will be able to either use that trigger manually or with any of the various schedule and mode rules that you included in the wizard for it. This is nonintuitive, and I tend to forget every time where it is. This is how you turn on your TV with a motion sensor, or toggle a switch and have The DVD player start.Īfter you have added a trigger, you then have to refresh the harmony hub in the Rooms view things list, and then that specific trigger will show up on the smartapp list in the rooms view. ( I think this is the step you still need to do) now you need to install a completely separate smartapp, called “Logitech Harmony trigger.” Then you will use that as a set up wizard to allow you to associate SmartThings-controlled devices as triggers for harmony activities.Once you have finished this step, your harmony app will show up on your things list in the Rooms view, and the “harmony connect” smartapp will show up on your smartapp list in the Rooms view. It doesn’t actually let you set up for doing anything with your end devices. This does nothing more than find the hub on your local Wi-Fi, give it a name, and assign it to one of the “rooms” in your smart things mobile app. Two) using the SmartThings app, you can add a harmony hub as a “thing” on your smartthings network. The harmony documentation gives a pretty good explanation of how to do all this. ![]() This is also how you set up a button on the harmony home remote to toggle one of your SmartThings-controlled lights, for example. Then you will be able to add those devices to your existing harmony activities. One) using the harmony app, you can go in and add specific SmartThings-controlled control devices to the list of connected home devices in harmony. The official harmony/smartthings integration actually has three separate parts. ![]()
