I am having some trouble with my ST Harmony Hub integrations. At first, things appeared to be working very well but all of the sudden my Activities are not reporting the correct status. E.g. I use ST app to turn on an Activity and it successful turns on but still appears as Off in the status. I then attempted to turn it off and it fails to do so. I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this and figured out a remedy? I have tried the basics or adding and removing the integrations as well as the individual Activities. None of which solved it.

This should help:

> I’ve seen lots of complaints about how long the Harmony switches in ST take to update when using the physical remote to turn stuff on or off. Just found a really simple way to get instant state updates. Go back and add all of the ST switches to your Harmony hub as Home Control devices, then turn each corresponding one on when your activity starts and back off when it ends. Bam, instant Harmony status updates. Step by step below. This starts with the assumption that you’ve already added your Harmony hub(s) to SmartThings. Open the Harmony app on your phone (as far as I’m aware, the phone app is the only way to add/edit Home Control devices) If you have multiple hubs, connect to your target hub. These steps have to be repeated for each hub. Add your SmartThings switches to Harmony…

Hmm, I guess my problem is I created individual activities for each light switch (Activity: Living Room Lights, Hallway Lights etc). The main reason for this is I have Lutron Caseta dimmers and they are not z wave and ST doesn’t integrate right now. Also, I thought that would be best to create individual activities because I intend to use a few wall mounted iPads as control panels for automation using the Harmony app. If only ST integrated directly with Lutron Caseta and had an iPad app… Thanks for the input!

I believe there is a Lutron integration in the works for this year. It should make a lot of people happy.
