I’m referring to control via Alexa/Echos. Right now you can access a single Harmony hub with the main Alexa Harmony Skill and a second with a second skill but it has some limitations I believe.
That’s the old “Harmony red” Skill which was eventually replaced by the newer “harmony blue” skill. Then they brought it back as a workaround for a second hub And renamed it “secondary hub.”
The problem is the command terminology will be different between the two, so whoever wants to use it has to be able to remember which command to use with which.
With the red skill, you have to say “Alexa, tell Harmony” Which is not necessary with the blue skill if it’s within 15 minutes of when you activated the AV device. It’s not a big difference, but it’s a difference.
All of this gets a little clunky, so hopefully logitech will come up with a true multihub skill later this year. But we will just have to see.
