Harmony Remotes - Compatible Models?

Devices & Integrations

Which models are compatible with ST?

Harmony Ultimate Home and Elite - Yes.

Any that have the Hue Hub. No hub= no internet= no SmartThings or Alexa integration

No that’s a typo. He meant Harmony Hub. I have 4 of them and they work great with ST. The integration has been solid for awhile after a “rocky” beginning.

So any with a hub? I have an older one with a hub that isn’t recognized. I guess my question is, is it the ones with home in the name only?

Yes, Harmony made the older hubs backwards compatible via a firmware update. Initially they wanted to charge people like $10 to upgrade but I am not sure if that’s the case anymore.

Thank you. I have 2 newer ones and a couple older ones (with hubs). I was hoping the older ones would work, but they are not recognized by the connect app. So I started wondering if all harmony hubs are created equal (all the ones that I have with home in the name work). I was trying to decide between resurrecting an older one or buying a new one for a different use case. Now I’m stuck - is it an ST/Harmony integration issue (been there before), or something else. The firmware is up to date.

@Mbhforum @RLDreams I contacted Logitech, and they said only devices with “Home” in the name work. According to them it’s not just anything with a hub.

EDIT: I should have said, I finally got a response from Logitech.

Logitech lies :cold_sweat: . As @Mbhforum already said They tried that scam to get everybody to buy a new hub a couple years ago. Then pushed the same FW to all the hubs .

Agreed. Motive.

Which model do you have?

One of my “old” ones is the high end model right before the Home Ultimately (I think it was called the Ultimate at the time).

@RLDreams @Mbhforum So it appears that the issue is the ST integration. I contacted support, but since the Harmony integration is classified as labs (as it’s been for a couple of years now), they don’t and won’t support it (blah blah blah).

Any ideas @slagle?

Install the Alexa Harmony skill and then when you yell at the Tv it will respond ?

13

Won’t work for what I’m doing. Thanks though.

14

So the firmware versions are matching on all hubs yet some don’t connect?

15

Yes. Up to date. Two of four are found.

Found a work around. PITA.
