Configuration
First step is to complete the settings page. Do not use the Advanced tab to enter any data, always use the Settings tab. Enter the Harmony Hub IP address. You should configure your LAN router to always assign that same IP address to your Harmony Hub. When you change the IP address, your Vera will reload and (re)connect to the Hub.
When Ok acknowledge interval is set, the icon will show with a green background after a command is completed for that number of seconds as a visual aknowledgement of the command completion.
After you have defined activities, you can configure one of those as a Default Activity that will be selected when a SetTarget = 1 action is done on the plugin.
When Enable Remote Icon Images is Yes the Icon images will be pulled from a remote web server (github) rather than from you Vera. Benefits are that you will also see the Icons when accessing your Vera remotely. Drawback you need an internet connection, even with local use. When changing this setting your Vera Luup will reload and you must refresh your browser. This is Vera only, openLuup does not require or show this setting.
You can set your own preferred log level when you need to debug some odd behavior or just want to see how things flow in more detail.
On the Control tab you should now see the message it is time to map the activities to buttons
After saving the settings you can start to configure the activities that you want as buttons on the Vera UI. Open the Activities Tab. You can specify up to 25 buttons as you selected in your settings. The buttons will map to one of the activities you configured on your Hub.
You can enter your own description in the Label input. If you leave it blank it will use the first eight characters of the activity description from your Hub as shown in the drop-down.
When selecting Yes for Activity Child Device, a child device will be created for the activity. In a next step you can configure the command buttons for that activity child as explained in the Device Setup page.
Once you selected the activities and specified the labels for the buttons, click Save Changes. After a few seconds you will see the message; Changes to the buttons made. Your Vera will reload, so wait a minute and refresh your browser page! On openLuup, no reload is required. The changes are instant, just refresh your browser.
The control panel will look like this. Now also showing the defined buttons.
From the control panel you can send a ChangeChannel command. Enter the desired channel number in the input and click the Change button.
There could be a situation the plug-in may not have the latest Hub configuration, click Update if in doubt or if you got a message stating to do so.
