Flirc xbmc harmony1/9/2024 AFAIK there is no way to change the color (maybe you can do some dirty hacking using 3 virtual devices in domoticz representing the RBG colors, adding 3 devices to HA bridge for each color, then map the dim level to the color code and use some lua/php to set your color. You can add the lights to activities using the IPhone app - the windows one seems to be too stupid. Is this somehow possible? Well, of course with separate devices but from a single device? Then this would work nicely for controlling e.g. Although it is possible to add them to start or stop sequence of the activity.īy the way, the device I created allows dimming, but cannot see that it would allow setting the color. After some digging it seems that only the new Elite (with dedicated home control buttons) currently allows adding these to activities (maybe in a later update also other remotes will allow it). Thanks for the answers Yes, I could do all controlling from Domoticz but then what would be the point of the Harmony remote anymore I like the old fashioned remote for certain controlling needs and thus it would be convenient to have the commands available in the activities. Additionally he may develop an api-call allowing to set the value (therefore if I change the state in domoticz it is updating the value in the HA bridge and reflecting it on the harmony remote. I asked the developer for a fix and he is working on it. Most annoying for me is that the HA bridge is not storing the switched values - they will show up as disabled after a few seconds in the harmony remote. This is empty."īut again - handle it with domoticz, just create the scene there and trigger it using a device in HA bridge. "scenes objectĚ collection of all scenes and their attributes. I'd assume that the HA bridge is not supporting scenes right now - the readme tells you I am running on windows - therefore autostart is easy but just putting it in a task or a shortcut to the jar to the autostart folder. I did not try to use them in activities so far - I'll give it a try when I find some time (or just handle all your activities in one central place - domoticz ) Hope if helps, let me know if it worked for you too After mapping is done all your artifical devices are getting imported (and hopefully up to date with new devices in HA bridge added afterwards). No need to press a "connect button" - HA bridge will accept just everything. My HA Bridge appeared automatically after some seconds. Last step: Map the harmony with your "virtual hue" - to do so open MyHarmony, navigate to devices -> home control and add a philips hue device. Those devices should be listed under the bridge devices tab. Just enter a name and on and off urls from the domoticz api. I think you will not need to setup the harmony fields, because you do not want to trigger harmony events but create artifical devices. Go to the bridge control tab and change the IP and port if necessary. When you are able to access the HA bridge setup is quite straightforward. I am quite sure default was pointing to your IP and port 8080 (so make sure it is not interfering with domoticz - disable domoticz first if it uses the same address.) On console it will tell you the default listening port. I'll try to give some more instructions.Īfter starting the jar file (if you run java from console, you will get output - if you just click the jar it will run in the background) the server will run without any configuration necessary. So if you do not mind have another server software running this might be worth a try (I am not involved in HA Bridge project in any way, just wanted to share my experience). Harmony -> HA Bridge -> Domoticz -> Hue Bridge. But that is not a real issue because I can still control my HUE lights over Even dimming works! I had to remove my real HUE bridge from the harmony hub, because only one bridge can be connected. The devices in the HA bridge have got On and Off commands raising my domoticz json api. The nice thing is that in the HA Bridge you can create artifical devices which will be recognized by the harmony hub and be shown in the remote. Searching the net I found a great project called HA Bridge (little java web server) which will simulate beeing a HUE Bridge and can be connected to the harmony hub. Unfortunately it is not possible to make the harmony just send stupid http get commands (thanks logitech). I wanted to switch and dim my z-wave and 433mhz switches using my harmony ultimate remote. So maybe it will help someone - otherwise feel free to blame me. I don't know if anyone else posted this but I did not find anything about it.
