Multiple Harmony hubs do not appear to be supported. When Artem tried to link his Harmony account with four hubs, he was asked to pick the one he wants to control. If they can do that, the activities they add will be shared with you too, and you'll both have access to both hubs...
Delivery times may vary, especially during peak periods. And they don't appear as native switches in Assistant's routines, so you can't easily add them to a routine. You'll have to type the full command to add them. I have a set of lights that I already control through google home. If one of your devices didn't power on or change to the correct input, then we recommend using our Activity troubleshooter to help narrow down the problem and find a solution. Configure the four home automation buttons to quickly control lights or plugs, regardless of the Activity you're in.

We need to know which type of remote you have in order to provide you the correct instructions. Please select from one of the options below in order to get started. You're able to use the Google Assistant to control Harmony on your iOS device provided you have iOS v9.1+. Jump between Activities, TV stations or Roku Channels.
With the new setup, things are definitely easier and I no longer need to talk to Harmony via SmartThings, but it still feels like things could be done better. Access to the full list of commands is essential — I almost missed the email if it weren't for my colleague Ryne. Integration for multiple hubs is a make-or-break feature for many users and the fact that it doesn't work now is certainly limiting. And finally, proper support inside the Google Home app would be nice too, so we can control volume and playback without having to issue voice commands.

When you're done, all activities show up as independent remotes in the Google Home app and can be assigned to specific rooms. The only solution I've found is to buy a SmartThings hub, create a virtual switch, use IFTTT to link the virtual switch to SmartLife to tell it to turn the lights on. A life saver since they killed off their hardware business. I had the elite set up for years until the touch screen stopped responding to touches.
Now it's a paper weight and I ended up using an older, spare phone loaded with the software to keep functionality. It's terrible that Logitech absolutely ruled this market then decided they're done with it. I wish I had some advanced notice before they quit selling the good remotes.

Please see the Harmony Cloud Access article for more information and instructions on how to turn it on. You can also enable Trusted Voice on your device, allowing you to unlock your phone using your voice. This makes it possible to have a voice-only experience with Harmony and the Google Assistant, even when your phone is locked. To verify your email address and activate your job alert. Great remote but the software continues to have login issues.
If you want to give further control of these Harmony activities to your family members, you can do so as part of the home sharing feature in the new Google Home app. Direct integration for Harmony with Assistant — so it would work like Hue, Nest, LIFX, and others — was promised in May. But we waited, and waited, and waited, until another official announcement last week that mentioned Harmony support would be coming soon to Assistant. My reaction was that I'll believe it when I see it, and today, I finally see it. Safety starts with understanding how developers collect and share your data.

Start your Watch TV Activity and your volume will automatically control the stereo, and channels will automatically change your TV or cable/satellite box. If your mobile device doesn't support Bluetooth LE technology, the USB cable can connect Harmony Hub to your computer so your homes Wi‑Fi credentials may be saved to the hub. Harmony Hub uses Wi‑Fi to communicate with the Harmony mobile app which is used for both setup and additional control. There's no official list from Logitech, but you will receive an email that lists the commands that will work for you. Keep an eye out for it, because this will have exactly what you need.
The Harmony app should find your hub after several seconds. Plug the IR mini blaster into the back of the hub and position it on top of your cabinet so it may send IR signals to your television. Instructions on this page are not relevant for the Harmony remote you've selected.
I've needed to change settings on my startup settings for several months and I still can't connect to my hub and edit commands. Install the app on each Android mobile device in the house and everyone can have their own personalized favorite channels and custom gestures. Create up to 50 favorite channels with custom icons for quick access to your entertainment.

Once unlinked, tap the Harmony card once more and follow the on-screen steps to re-link your account. Tap the Harmony card and follow the on-screen instructions to link your account. After creating a new Activity using the Logitech Harmony app be sure to sync your remote so they appear on your remote screen and/or Harmony app. You'll then be able to immediately use the new Activity using the Google Assistant. To create a voice friendly name for your new Activity, follow the steps above.
I'd even settle for a IFTTT connection but you cant use the harmony remote as a trigger for some reason. I don't let it control my other home devices, only audio, video devices. There are many, mostly controlled by Sonos which interface I prefer. Ongoing issue with Harmony is it constantly loses connection with the hub.
The item may have some signs of cosmetic wear, but is fully operational and functions as intended. This item may be a floor model or store return that has been used. See the seller’s listing for full details and description of any imperfections.
