Build Status

harmony-polyglot

This is the Harmony Hub Poly for the Universal Devices ISY994i Polyglot interface with Polyglot V2 (c) JimBoCA aka Jim Searle MIT license.

This node server is intended to support the Logitech Harmony Hub using the pyharmony Python Library.

Installation

WARNING: If you are running the v1 polyglot harmony nodeserver it will not longer work after this one is installed. But, initially I would advise everyone to install this in a new slot and leave the old one running. If you go back to the old one you will need manually re-install the older version of pyharmony if you have polyglot v1 and v2 running on the same machine.

IMPORTANT: The latest harmony hub firmware broke access, you must manually enable xmpp for each hub in the Harmony App: https://community.logitech.com/s/question/0D55A00008D4bZ4SAJ/harmony-hub-firmware-update-fixes-vulnerabilities

  1. Make sure your Harmony Hubs have a static IP assigned. The nodeserver can not re-find the hub if it changes IP addresses. This may be fixed in the future.
  2. Backup Your ISY in case of problems!
    • Really, do the backup, please
  3. Go to the Polyglot Store in the UI and install.
  4. Add NodeServer in Polyglot Web
  5. Open the admin console (close and re-open if you had it open) and you should see a new node 'HarmonyController'
  6. The auto-discover should automatically run and find your hubs and add them. Verify by checking the nodeserver log. If it doesn't then Select the HarmonyController node and click the 'Discover'.
    • While this is running you can view the nodeserver log in the Polyglot UI to see what it's doing
  7. This should find your Harmony Hubs and add them to the ISY with all devices and activities if your Harmony Hub and Polyglot are on the same subnet. If they are not, then you can manually add the hub address as described in the next section,
  8. Once all nodes are added you will need to close and re-open the admin console the new custom profile is loaded.

Manual Hub Entries

If the discover does not work, or you prefer to not use it, you can add customParms in the Polyglot Web UI to tell it about your hubs.

Create a param with the name 'hub_uniqueid' where uniqueid is the address that will be used for the ISY node, and with a value like: { "name": "HarmonyHub FamilyRoom", "host": "192.168.1.86" }

Anytime these params are added or modified you need to run the 'Discover' on the HarmonyController node.

Grouping the hubs

Each activity and device is created with their Hub as primary. This makes it easy to group the devices. Just right click on a Hub, Activity or Device node and select 'group devices'. This makes it easy to keep them all together.

HarmonyHub Controller

This is the main node created by this nodeserver and manages the hubs.

Node Settings

The settings for this node are

Node Server Connected

  • Status of nodeserver process, this should be monitored by a program if you want to know the status
  • There is a known issue in Polyglot that upon startup, this is not always properly set.

Version Major

  • The major version of this nodeserver

Version Minor

  • The minor version of this nodeserver

Hubs

  • The number of hubs currently managed

Debug Mode

  • The debug printing mode

Short Poll

  • This is how often it will Poll the Hub to get the current activity

Long Poll

  • Not currently used

Profile Status

  • This is updated during commands like Discover,Install Profile, and Build Profile to show what is currently happening
    • Uninitialized = This can only happen if the node server is installed, but never ran
    • Not Sure = Can't be sure what the status is. Currently we can not read the profile version. Hopefully this will be added in the future
    • Discovering Hubs
    • Adding Nodes
    • Building Profile
    • Installing Profile
    • ISY Reboot Required
      • The nodeserver thinks your ISY needs rebooted. This means a new profile was installed on the ISY, but currently we can't tell if the ISY has been rebooted, so reboot the node server after rebooting the ISY to clear this status
    • Build Profile Failed
    • Install Profile Failed
    • PyHarmony Discover Failed
    • Out of Date
    • Write profile.zip Failed

Activity Method

  • None = Don't watch Harmony for activity changes
  • Short Poll = Poll Harmony Hub during each Short Poll Interval (Old default method)
  • Callback = The Harmony Hub reports changes directly to the nodeserver (prefered new method)

Watch Hubs

  • Enable/Disable watching the hubs. If you know the hubs will be offline for a long time then set this False. I use this because I know when the power is turned off to the hub when I am not going to be home for an extended period of time.

Node Commands

The commands for this node

Query

  • Poll's all hubs and sets all status in the ISY

Discover

  • Run's the harmony auto-discover to find your hubs, builds the profiel, and installs the profile
  • This should be run whenever you add a new hub, or update activities or devices on your hub

Install Profile

  • This uploads the currently built profile into the ISY.
  • Typically this is not necessary, but sometimes the ISY needs the profile uploaded twice.

Build Profile

  • This rebuilds the profile based on the currently managed hubs.
  • During the processes you can watch the nodeserver log (Not the polyglot log) to see what it's doing.
  • It will also update the 'Profile Status' to show what is happening from:
    • Building Profile
    • Installing Profile
    • ISY Reboot Required
  • Once it says ISY Reboot Required you should reboot the ISY.

Harmony Hub

Each harmony hub found are configured will have a node.

Harmony Activity

Each harmony hub activity will have a node.

Harmony Hub

Each harmony hub device will have a node.

Requirements

  1. Polyglot V2 itself should be run on Raspian Stretch. To check your version, cat /etc/os-release and the first line should look like PRETTY_NAME="Raspbian GNU/Linux 9 (stretch)". It is possible to upgrade from Jessie to Stretch, but I would recommend just reimaging the SD card. Some helpful links:
  2. This has only been tested with ISY 5.0.11 so it is not guaranteed to work with any other version.

Issues

If you have an issue where the nodes are not showing up properly, open the Polyglot UI and go to HarmonyHub -> Details -> Log, and clock 'Download Log Package' and send that to jimboca3@gmail.com as an email attachment, or send it in a PM Universal Devices Forum

Upgrading

Open the Polyglot web page, go to nodeserver store and click "Update" for "HarmonyHub".

For Polyglot 2.0.35, hit "Cancel" in the update window so the profile will not be updated and ISY rebooted. The install procedure will properly handle this for you. This will change with 2.0.36, for that version you will always say "No" and let the install procedure handle it for you as well.

Then restart the HarmonyHub nodeserver by selecting it in the Polyglot dashboard and select Control -> Restart, then watch the log to make sure everything goes well.

The HarmonyHub keeps track of the version number and when a profile rebuild is necessary. The profile/version.txt will contain the HarmonyHub profile_version which is updated in server.json when the profile should be rebuilt. You can see the HarmonyHub version number used to rebuild the profile by checking the HarmonyHub Controller node title in the Admin Console which will contain the code version number, this can be newer than the profile_version number.
