FibaroHC2 - Logitech Harmony - a one-way street? Or not?

[[email protected] 0]

Good Morning from Vienna!

 

Now I have 2 hours read all the articles on "FibaroHC2 and Logitech Harmony", but clearly is not still me:

 

Can I start with the Harmony-remote scenes on the FibaroHC2-server?
Or can I only send commands from FibaroHC2-server to the Harmony-Remote?
And what Harmony Devices can be used?

Thanks for your answers!

API provided by Logitech only allows for starting and stopping its activities. These Harmony Activities can only be defined in Harmony dedicated app - I assume you are familiar with this mechanism. Integrating our devices in Harmony does not really depend on us, but rather on Logitech, and so far it is not possible.

So for now it is possible to start and stop Harmony activites from HC2, but not to run HC2 scenes from Logitech remote?

[j.nowacki 5]

That is correct.

Too bad, now I have to wait to see if his Logitech API for read / write will be open in the future.

But doesn't Harmony work with other Z-wave controllers from Vera, Smartthings, Lutron, Insteon, etc.?  Has Fibaro reached out to Logitech to get them to support your API?

 

Also, next week, the Harmony Home Hub Extender will be released. Will Fibaro support it?

 

I think the main drawback with Fibaro right now is lack of 3rd party integration.  I have a house full of Cooper Wireless switches and dimmers, and none of them have templates or show up as lights in Fibaro, but rather 'other devices'.  Extremely frustrating.

Is it possible to device a custom device on the Harmony Hub that issues HTTP commands?  If this is possible, that could the Hc2 be controlled using e.g.

etc?

@Siddler Did you managed to get your idea working? I'm looking in the same direction to make it possible to start scenes from my Harmony. I'm currently building something with Arduino but not sure if it will work.

You can use scens by virtual device. Just make a Virtual Device from plugin harmony. When you install your harmony it creates on and off switches. Then install firefox developer press ctrl+shift+k on page 192.168.1.132 (adress of my HCL). Press harmony on and off switches they should appear on firefox developer as code. Then copy them to your fibaro virtual device. my code for tv from samsung plugin as an example : /api/plugins/callUIEvent?deviceID=4&elementName=POWER_Button&eventType=onReleased

 

Example:

adres IP: 127.0.0.1

Port TCP: 11111

This is mine code for tv-off:

 

GET /api/plugins/callUIEvent?deviceID=4&elementName=POWER_Button&eventType=onReleased HTTP/1.1
Host: 192.168.1.132
Authorization: Basic xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

 

 

(xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - authorization code base 64 for your admin login and password.
 

Now you should be able to use harmony in scenes.

 

In attachment i am sending instructions in Polish language. Just replace firebug with firefox developer.
