Exactly what we do (a program dims and brightens the lights when turning on/off the AV equipment), except for overriding lighting or drapes - that we do with voice.

By the way - you can add Universal Devices / ISYxxx as a device in your 'My Harmony' app.

You mean to get the 40 IR codes ISY has built in?  I have done that if that is what you mean.  Though I only use a few of them. I basically have on, off, and 15% for the room light.  Nothing else Insteon enabled in there.

That's all it does? (I don't have it installed)

If so, guess that won't help you on a Policy.

A node server that supports keyboard input through a polisy usb port would totally do the trick.  You could use those 40 insteon ir codes or you could program the lirc to recognize, I assume, just about any ir signal.  I assume you program lirc then, upon detecting the ir signal of your choice, to produce a key stroke equivalent.  If ISY had a node server that recognized keyboard input, then a simple program "if keystroke A" then set lights to x.

OK, it works.  A bit of a cludge, but whatever.

If you have an old ISY 99i with IR.

1) Factory Reset

2) Boot it up with a plm plugged in

3) Open admin console http://your.isy.ip.address/admin.jnlp

4) Delete PLM

5) Go to the IR tab and load the default 40 codes

6) Setup network resources in your 99i to trigger your IoP pointing to the program/node/etc you desire the IR button to act on.  https://wiki.universal-devices.com/index.php?title=ISY_Developers:API:REST_Interface

7)  Write a program on 99i 

If
        IR 'IR_003' is Pressed
 
Then
        Resource 'Name.1'
 
Else
   - No Actions - (To add one, press 'Action')
