Echo-ST-Harmony Love it/Hate it

[hasse (Sander)]

Thanks for your replies, i think this solves it, will try it later on, otherwise i’ll buy a harmony remote.

Alexa + SmartThings + IFTTT + Harmony to turn TV on and off by voice (2015 version)

OK JD. I think I have a solution. I’ll change power option in Harmony so it thinks I have discreet codes. I’ll make the power off command something I won’t notice, like up arrow or something. Then I’ll have the momentary button run the activity when on and exit the activity when it turns off. Tv will stay on because the actually power off command will just be an up arrow and I’ll be out of that activity with harmony thinking it turned the TV off… I’ll then do the same thing with the exit tv command. Everything should stay in sync no matter how the TV is turned off/on… I’ll also have to have that virtual button fire when tv is turned on by the actual harmony remote… Wow… Lots to do, but wife will be happy and I can still use alexa :). Wish me luck
