Some AVRs have network capabilities and have custom DTHs developed by community members. In my case, I have 2 Yamaha AVRs that I was able to create Virtual Switches to control the volume.
Alexa also has the ability to control volume.
The integration linked above is pretty awesome as well.
In the long run, I find myself just using the remote!
If you’re willing and able to set up a Raspberry Pi or similar to act as a go-between from SmartThings to your Harmony Hub you can do this.
This setup will allow you to issue individual button press commands by voice from a Google Home device to multiple Harmony hubs. Example uses:
“Hey Google, tell living room to pause”
“Hey Google, tell master bedroom volume up 6 times”
“Hey Google, tell living room left 3 times”
“Hey Google, tell master bedroom to mute”
There’s no support for launching or ending activities, didn’t see a need since it’s easy to turn them on or off already using either GH/SmartThings integration or GH/IFTTT/Harmony integration.
Much credit goes to sushilks from GitHub , he developed the js utilities for Harmony, I just created a simple web server that accepts GET requests and calls certain functions in his harmony-hub-util app. Alexa/Echo users may want to check out his alexaHarmonyApp , it uses a custom …
If you have Alexa the Harmony skill will do this natively now.
