In this article, I'll show you how to set up your Logitech Harmony Hub in <strong>Home Assistant<\/strong> and integrate your classic infrared devices into your smart home. With this integration, you can conveniently control everything from televisions to air conditioning systems via voice command or app - without the remote control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For detailed instructions and explanations of all configuration options, I recommend watching the YouTube video linked below. This video goes into detail about each individual setting, providing you with comprehensive instructions on how to set everything up correctly. Any code from the video can be found in this article, so you can use it directly without having to type it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_84 counter-hierarchy

id=\"h-warum-den-logitech-harmony-hub-mit-home-assistant-verbinden\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Warum_den_Logitech_Harmony_Hub_mit_Home_Assistant_verbinden\"><\/span>Why connect the Logitech Harmony Hub with Home Assistant?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong>Logitech Harmony Hub<\/strong> allows you to integrate infrared-based devices, which normally only work with remote controls, into your smart home network. <strong>Home Assistant<\/strong> offers a seamless way to control these devices and integrate them into your automations. The special feature: The integration of the Harmony Hub is directly in <strong>Home Assistant<\/strong> so you don't need any additional plugins or third-party software. You can easily connect multiple Harmony devices, such as the <strong>Harmony Hub<\/strong>, <strong>Harmony Elite<\/strong> and other models. This integration makes it easy for you to incorporate devices such as televisions, speakers or air conditioning systems that are controlled via infrared into your smart home system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Schritt_1_Vorbereitungen_treffen\"><\/span>Step 1: Make preparations<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Before you get started, make sure that you meet the following requirements:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Logitech Harmony Hub<\/strong> - This must already be set up and connected to your WLAN.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Home Assistant<\/strong> - The platform must be installed on a Raspberry Pi, a server or a virtual machine.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Home Assistant integrations<\/strong> - Make sure that you have access to the Home Assistant web interface.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you have not yet set up the Logitech Harmony Hub, download the <strong>Logitech Harmony App<\/strong> and follow the instructions to connect it to your network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Schritt_2_Die_Harmony_Hub_Integration_in_Home_Assistant_einbinden\"><\/span>Step 2: Integrate the Harmony Hub integration into Home Assistant<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now it's time to integrate the Harmony Hub into Home Assistant. Proceed as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Open Home Assistant<\/strong>Log in to your Home Assistant web interface.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adding the integration<\/strong>Click on \"Settings\" &gt; \"Integrations\" and search for \"Logitech Harmony\". If you cannot find the integration directly, go to \"Add integration\" and search for \"Harmony\".<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Furnishings<\/strong>Home Assistant will now ask for the IP address of your Logitech Harmony Hub. You can find this in the Logitech Harmony app under the hub settings. Enter the IP address and confirm the entry.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Authentication<\/strong>: If necessary, you will be asked to log in with your <strong>Logitech account<\/strong> to authenticate the connection between Home Assistant and the hub.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Find devices<\/strong>After successful connection, Home Assistant automatically searches your Harmony Hub and lists all the devices you have paired with the Hub - from TVs to air conditioners.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add devices<\/strong>Now select the devices you want to integrate into Home Assistant. You can control all devices that are connected to your Harmony Hub.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Schritt_3_Deine_Gerate_steuern\"><\/span>Step 3: Control your devices<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you have completed the integration, you can control your devices in Home Assistant. Home Assistant displays the devices in the user interface and you can control them directly.

You can now define rules that automatically control your infrared devices. Here are a few examples:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Turn on the TV in the evening<\/strong>You can create an automation that turns on the TV when you get home or when it gets dark.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Switch on the air conditioning if the temperature is too high<\/strong>Create a rule that activates your air conditioning when the temperature in your room exceeds a certain threshold.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Turn off the TV when you go to bed<\/strong>Set an automation that switches off the TV when you click on the \"Good night\" scene in Home Assistant.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Die_Bedeutung_von_Devices_vs_Activities_in_Home_Assistant\"><\/span>The importance of devices vs. activities in Home Assistant<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the <strong>Logitech Harmony<\/strong> app, there are two main types of controls:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Devices<\/strong>These represent the individual devices that you want to control (e.g. a TV, a speaker system or an air conditioning system). A device usually has specific control commands such as \"On\", \"Off\", \"Increase volume\" or \"Change channel\". In Home Assistant we prefer it, <strong>Devices<\/strong> because they are more flexible. Instead of starting an entire \"activity\" (e.g. \"watch TV\"), we control a single device, which allows us more precise and flexible automation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Activities<\/strong>These are actually \"scenes\" or \"programs\" in the Harmony App that control several devices at the same time. So when you start an \"Activity\" such as \"Watch TV\", several devices are controlled at the same time, e.g. the TV, the receiver and the speakers. But in Home Assistant we want to control the <strong>Individuals<\/strong>The aim is to directly control the individual devices so that we can better define the automations ourselves.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Die_harmony_REMOTENAMEconf_Datei\"><\/span>The <strong><code>harmony_REMOTENAME.conf<\/code><\/strong> File<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <strong><code>harmony_REMOTENAME.conf<\/code><\/strong> file in Home Assistant stores the configuration and settings for the various devices connected to your Logitech Harmony Hub. This file contains important information such as the <strong>Device names<\/strong>, <strong>Device types<\/strong> and <strong>Commands<\/strong>that Home Assistant can use to control these devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This file is automatically created by Home Assistant when you integrate the Harmony Hub. It contains the relevant details about the devices and their commands that Home Assistant can use to control devices. The file is located in the Home Assistant configuration folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-beispiel-fur-eine-harmony-remotename-conf-datei\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Beispiel_fur_eine_harmony_REMOTENAMEconf_Datei\"><\/span>Example of a <strong><code>harmony_REMOTENAME.conf<\/code><\/strong> File:<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>devices:\n  - id: \"76805624\"\n    name: \"Samsung TV\"\n    type: \"tv\"\n    commands:\n      - name: \"Power Toggle\"\n        command: \"power_toggle\"\n      - name: \"Volume Up\"\n        command: \"volume_up\"\n      - name: \"Volume Down\"\n        command: \"volume_down\"\n  - id: \"76805625\"\n    name: \"Sonos Soundbar\"\n    type: \"audio\"\n    commands:\n      - name: \"Power Toggle\"\n        command: \"power_toggle\"\n      - name: \"Volume Up\"\n        command: \"volume_up\"\n      - name: \"Volume Down\"\n        command: \"volume_down\"<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this example, we have two devices:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Samsung TV<\/strong> (with ID <code>75801231<\/code>): The device you want to control, e.g. a TV.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sonos soundbar<\/strong> (with ID <code>75801655<\/code>): An audio device such as a loudspeaker system.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each device has an ID, a name and a list of available commands that you can use in automations, such as \"Power Toggle\", \"Volume Up\" and \"Volume Down\".<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-erklarung-eines-beispiels-wie-ich-meine-deckenlampe-steuere\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Erklarung_eines_Beispiels_wie_ich_meine_Deckenlampe_steuere\"><\/span>Explanation of an example of how I control my ceiling lamp<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Now let's look at your example for the <strong>Action<\/strong> to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>action: remote.send_command\nmetadata: {}\ndata:\n  hold_secs: 0\n  command:\n    - Power Toggle\n    - White\n  delay_secs: 0.6\n  device: \"76805624\"\ntarget:\n  entity_id: remote.harmony_hub\n<\/code><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><code>action: remote.send_command<\/code><\/strong>This indicates that an action should be sent to the Harmony Hub to execute a specific command.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><code>metadata: {}<\/code><\/strong>In this case, no additional metadata is required, so this field remains empty.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><code>data:<\/code><\/strong>Here you define the actual command data to be sent.\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><code>hold_secs: 0<\/code><\/strong>This means that the command is executed immediately without having to be held for a certain number of seconds.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><code>command:<\/code><\/strong>: The specific command to be sent is defined here.
