born2dive Posted January 2, 2016 Posted January 2, 2016 I searched the forums and have not found something that works although there are quite a few threads about integration with the Harmony remote. I have a Harmony remote setup to operate my entertainment center. I'd like to also be able to control the lights by pressing one of the remote buttons or running a remote "activity". I just bought the networking module but know nothing about it (just learning). The Harmony remote supposedly has a REST API. I have the Harmony Companion remote (this one). Is there a way to create a network resource to make this happen? if so, how? Thanks.
Jimbo.Automates Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 UDI has asked for access to the Harmony API but they have not heard back. I'm not sure if this will allow 2 way control, Currently the only way I know to control ISY devices from the harmony remotes is to run a "Hue Emulator" then add that emulator to your harmony hub. I do this with the Python based one running on a RPi, and there is another one discussed at length in this forum that uses Java so it can run on a Windows computer. Search for ISYHelper on this forum to check out my stuff. Using the ISY network module you can control harmony activities, but I have not tried that yet. Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk

Sent from my Pixel C using Tapatalk Thanks for this. I got to your GitHub page and found the information. I am very new to this so I appreciate your patience and help. I have the RPi up and running. Do I run the commands in the "Install and configure" section from within the root or home directory? same question for running the commands within the "To do" section. For now all I really want is to integrate the Harmony Remote so I can turn scenes/lights on and off using a remote button press. Is there anything else I need to do. Thanks again.
