Weird - I can execute manually run routines from inside another routine
You can still run scenes (manually triggered Routines) from a normal routine I just created the following one with no problem. The only thing that changed was the name.

All right thanks guys! I guess I need to do more investigation of my ST setup since it wasnât working for me.
Were you able to figure this out? I am seeing the error now when I look at ST CLI.
Nevermind, I rebooted the Harmony Hub and it connected.
Good morning. Has something changed or is maybe the smartthings teams messing something up again?
The harmony hub stopped working, a restart did not work. I see the ip address setting is still correct and its connected with that ip in the router devices section. When i manually try to execute a command it shows a loading icon for too long and then fails with a network error.
Nothing has changed in the driver⊠And i have not had a deluge of similar reports from others.
Turn on verbose logging - then check the history tab to see what is going on. This should tell you if it is a connectivity problem or not.
If itâs still not clear - connect on the CLI to logcat and see what the error is.
Make sure know additional security features have turned on, on your network - particularly if you use a mesh network.
Double check your ip address is correct and hasnât changed on the harmony, ensure that you have rebooted the harmony and that the harmony app is working (and can connect locally). I have seen some cases that have required a reset of the harmony - then reload settings from your account - but this is usually when you cannot connect with the harmony app, or the harmony app is always behaving like you are outside your home. (even when you are at home)
Drop me a PM if you need any more help.
Do you prefer a pm? Here maybe others can be helped who face the same problem?
If you prefer pm i will continue there.
For now i have this from history after enabling verbose. This time the command to turn the tv on worked without a timeout or network errorâŠbut nothing happened. Still have to try the logitech app when im back home.
The ip settings are all good. Its weird this issue started after many months of no issue whatsoever.
I donât mind if you post in public, just conscious of boring people 
Ok, the good news is, it definitely appears that you do not have a connectivity issue - so you can disregard the last message - everything here is connected fine and I can see messages being sent and received. So something else must be wrong.
What command is it that you are issuing? How are you issuing it? is it a device command, or activity command? How are you sending it? [routine, virtual device, activity device]
Manually executing it didnt work, and i usually have it work through routines. If presense sensor detects presense, turn on tv and virtual tv switch.
can you send me the history output when you send the command? (with verbose logging turned on)
Is âturn on the tvâ a device command or harmony activity?
Here you go. the text above in the log contains all commands known, and requires like 7 seconds of fast scrolling to ignore, haha.
I have tried the harmony app on my phone, and it connects fine and works to turn on the tv.
I can only see sent messages there, no recd messages.
Were there no received messages?
Have you rebooted your harmony hub?
Are you using v2 of the driver? What version are you on?
Next step would be to capture logs using logcat while you perform your actions. For those you should use a pm, or go through them and remove anything sensitive first e.g your harmony account email address
I rebooted it a second time and that seemed to do the trick. Works now again, thats weird. Maybe i cut it away from power a bit longer.
Thanks for the assistance!

Hi there, I must confess you did a great job on the integration and I am very thankful⊠For the others, let me share my experience of what I use the integration for.
I used to have Logitech Harmony Hubs +Yonomi + Alexa Echos to control by voice my many appliances throughout the house. The number of LHHs is 6, number of Alexa devices is approx 9 (some are in the garden and do not need to control anything else). The configuration used Alexa to ask Yonomi (where scenes were defined too) to control the appliances through Logitech Harmony Hub. If you wonder why Yonomi - it was the only way to control multimple LHHs for Alexa.
Now yesterday, Yonomi finished the service after many years of good work, and I was left in the dark! But because of your excellent integration I could easily setup my appliances/Alexa network again, just in few hours! I really am sooo greatful!
Furthermore, what I found out - as I have SmartThings connected to Alexa - once you add a new Logitech Harmony Hub through your integration into ST, the activities (defined by LHH) are automatically found by Alexa and can be imported to routines without hassle. So no need to pickup coding and stuff - AND THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!
I love you, guys.

Iâm glad it is working well for you, especially as you have what sounds like quite a complicated setup. Good luck migrating all of the routines
Hi,
Please be patient with me, but hoping someone can help. Right now I have an alexa routine with the combination of a bond device and smartthings device lower and raise my 315mhz tv mount. For the life of me I am trying to get this routine to run on my harmony remote. If i use vedge in smartthings the routine just shows up as a sensor in my harmony remote. How can i use this simple harmony bridge to run my alexa routine in my harmony remote, so it can be added to an activity and also maybe a button.
I have tried searching, but really need step by step instructions if anyone can help.
Thanks again everyone for your time.
The short answer is this driver cannot help you with that, this driver allows you to control harmony devices from smsrtthings - not the other way around.
If your TV mount already works from smsrtthings, you could trigger it with a routine when an activity starts.
Another option would be to use the official smsrtthings integration that puts smsrtthings devices on your harmony screen

Thanks for the email back but i dont know how I can have my harmony remote trigger a routine when i start an activity from the remote. Thats what my goal is. I know I can have alexa trigger the tv mount (with the help of bond and smartthings) and also trigger my harmony to start an activity, but i would really love to do it from the remote.
Also smartthings puts the device onto my harmony as a sensor, not as a plug or a switch, so cant really activate it.
Have you configured this driver and turned on activity devices?
You should then be able to create a routine like soâŠ
Or
You will need to swap your activity to the correct one, and the device you want to control.
Then when you start the activity on the remote, the smsrtthings routine will run
I havent been able to get the smartthings routine to run the mount correctly. Alexa routines I have. The issue with the mount is you need to essentially press ârunâ a pause and then the direction you want the mount to go. I had to create the mount as a fan in Bond because bond doesnt really support devices other than fans, fireplaces, and blinds.
Thats why I was hoping to have it run from an alexa routine, and not a smartthings routine.
