Home Assistant + Logitech Harmony: De Ultieme Integratie (Volledige Handleiding)
De Logitech Harmony Hub blijft een van de krachtigste universele afstandsbedieningen, ook al wordt hij niet meer actief ontwikkeld. In deze handleiding laat ik zien hoe je de Harmony Hub volledig dynamisch integreert in Home Assistant.
We bouwen:
- dropdowns per apparaat met alle commando’s
- automatische activiteitenlijst
- directe uitvoering van commando’s bij selectie
- één enkele automation die alle apparaten ondersteunt
- volledig dynamisch ingelezen uit de Harmony‑config
Deze methode is stabiel, onderhoudsvrij en werkt zonder custom componenten.
1. Harmony JSON exporteren
Ga in Home Assistant naar:
Instellingen → Integraties → Harmony Hub → Download config
Sla het bestand op in:
Code
config/harmony_5872655.conf
2. Helpers aanmaken per apparaat
Maak in Home Assistant per Harmony‑device een input_select helper aan. Laat de opties leeg — die vullen we automatisch.
Voorbeeld helpers:
Code
input_select.harmony_commands_av_serre_2
input_select.harmony_commands_av_woonkamer_1
input_select.harmony_commands_blue_ray_speler
input_select.harmony_commands_dvr_formuler
input_select.harmony_commands_dvr_vu
input_select.harmony_commands_eetkamer_3
input_select.harmony_commands_lg_70up7006lb
input_select.harmony_commands_marmitek_av_switch
input_select.harmony_commands_muziekserver_avedio_links
input_select.harmony_commands_sat_dm8000
3. Automation: Helpers automatisch vullen met commando’s
Deze automation leest je Harmony‑config in en vult alle helpers met de juiste commando’s.

4. Eén automation die ALLE commando’s verstuurt
Zodra je een commando kiest in een dropdown, wordt het direct uitgevoerd.
yaml
alias: Harmony – Send Command From Any Device Helper
triggers:
- entity_id:
- input_select.harmony_commands_av_serre_2
- input_select.harmony_commands_av_woonkamer_1
- input_select.harmony_commands_blue_ray_speler
- input_select.harmony_commands_dvr_formuler
- input_select.harmony_commands_dvr_vu
- input_select.harmony_commands_eetkamer_3
- input_select.harmony_commands_lg_70up7006lb
- input_select.harmony_commands_marmitek_av_switch
- input_select.harmony_commands_muziekserver_avedio_links
- input_select.harmony_commands_sat_dm8000
trigger: state
actions:
- action: file.read_file
data:
file_name: harmony_5872655.conf
file_encoding: JSON
response_variable: harmony_data
- variables:
harmony: "{{ harmony_data.data }}"
