Once they are added to the hue emulator, add the hue skill to your harmony and try to find your hue emulator (harmony thinking it is finding an actual hue hub.) Once found, the devices added to the hue emulator (those having "spoken" assigned) will show up as devices that can be controlled via your harmony remote and assigned to your light or outlet buttons. IIRC, ISY devices can be added to the hue emulator by assigning a "spoken" command to those devices you want to control. In this case, you want to link the harmony remote to the hub known as the hue emulator, not the real hue hub (if you even have one.) Once linked, the harmony app can find the devices in the hue emulator. The harmony remote hubs can find hue hubs and control them. In my mind, the hue emulator simulates a hue hub (even if you already have an actual hue hub, which I do). I am also assuming you are using a harmony hub device. Make sure when you are done you follow the same steps except select the regular WebView. IMPORTANT: Canary is very unstable/experimental. Launch the app and select Set Up New Hub. I found it a little counterintuitive, but it works great once you get your head around the concept. Force close Harmony app and try again and it should work. Visit the iTunes App Store or Google Play and search for the Harmony app. I second the recommendation for the hue emulator (as opposed to the hue node server). So, Alexa and Logitech are linked, but if I try to add a device to map to the home control buttons, there is nothing like "Alexa" or Universal Devices there. I've supposedly linked Alexa and the Logitech hub, so that I can tell Alexa to "turn on ActivityX", where activity X is one of three activities (watch Fire TV, play game, watch Kodi).
I'd love to be able to map the "light" button on the Logitech remote to do this. Telling Alexa to do this via the soundbar works fine, except you lose sound for a while.and periodically don't get it back. We run the projector via a soundbar with Alexa built in. In other words, I have a "projector light" scene where I can tell Alexa "turn on projector light", and this turns on a small set of LEDs that are on the projector platform (near ceiling), and keeps them on for a short time. What I'd like to do is hit one light button and have it access a scene via Alexa on the ISY 994i. This remote has two light and two outlet buttons to control lights/outlets. What do you think of the Amazon Echo? Let us know in the comments.I'm setting up a Logitech Harmony companion remote for our basement projector system.

When we reviewed the Logitech Harmony Elite remote (which comes with a Harmony Hub in the box), we were seriously impressed, giving it a respectable 4.5/5 score. “Alexa integration with Harmony makes home entertainment easier than ever, enabling customers to change channel, switch content services, control playback, adjust their volume, and more, across different inputs – all without lifting a finger.” “Controlling your home entertainment system with your voice takes convenience to a whole new level,” explains Rob Pulciani, Director of Amazon Alexa. Logitech also promises to add “new features and functionality” to the Harmony system, so its capabilities should only grow over time.

So you could, for instance, turn on the lights, raise the blinds, and switch your TV onto a news channel in the morning, all with a single voice command. What’s most exciting is that Harmony and Alexa allow for skills to be combined. After receiving a lot of positive feedback on the Amazon Alexa integration in the US, this move is our next step in the process of bringing more control of the living room entertainment experience to the world.” Speaking at the announcement, Renee Niemi, VP of Logitech’s smart home business, said: “We are thrilled to extend voice control capabilities to more Harmony users worldwide. You’ll also be able to control media playback by telling Alexa to play, pause, stop, eject, or record. You can say things like ‘Alexa, tell Harmony to turn on the TV’, or ‘Alexa, tell Harmony to turn on Netflix’, and it should work. The Logitech Harmony Hub, for the unaware, is a box that connects to all of your smart home gadgets – anything from your TV to a smart light bulb – and lets you control them using a smartphone app.īut with the addition of the new Alexa skill, Harmony and Echo owners will be able to control their gadgets using voice commands instead.
