Control your Logictech Harmony hub from Tasker
Features Tasker plugin for Harmony
This plugin lets you control your Logitech Harmony Hub from Tasker.Simple and easy to use, this app uses a stable, tested, reliable Harmony library::: Supports multiple hubs.:: Can configure device delay.:: Start activities.:: Send device commands.:: Power off.== IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT BATTERY OPTIMIZATION ==If you are running Android 6+ you might find that this plugin fails to send commands after a period of time.This may be due to App Standby mode or Doze mode kicking in.In order to fix this issue, go to:Settings| Battery| Battery Optimisation (from the dropdown menu)| Choose "All Apps"| Find this plugin| Select "Not Optimized"I *should* add the correct permissions to this plugin to white list itself from the battery optimization list.
However, numerous developers have complained that Google simply removed their apps from the Play Store after adding this permission.
It actually happened to Tasker at one point!For that reason, I leave it to you to manually add this to your device settings if you have the issue mentioned above.:: New action to get current running activity.:: Can use variable substitution for Favourite Channel code.

What Our Users Say
Don't just take our word for it. Here's what our users have to say about our Android app.
"Seems to work great so far. Complains about being an old version of the app but no newer version available. Seems to work well regardless"
nascent
"Description need to be updated with how to enable XMPP on the hub. "Menu" > "Harmony Setup" > "Add/Edit Devices & Activities" > "Remote & Hub" > "Enable XMPP". App will not be work unless this is done. Thanks Nick Betcher for pointing this out in a review."
Anders Johansson
"Great app and has worked brilliantly so far, but just done the latest Android update on Oneplus 7 Pro and no longer working, hopefully update soon!"
Daryl Best
"Just plain AWESOME! I can't even express how excited I was to see this app, then I downloaded it and tried to set up with out enabling the extra setting needed in the Harmony app for the hub to connect and I was almost sick with disappoinment.., but only for less than a minute untill I learned what I had to do and now everything works great and my life is exponentially greater with this app in it! Can I give 6 stars instead of 5?"
Edward Wahner
"If your hub didn't connect after setting a static IP and enabling XMPP, unplug your hub and reboot it before rating the app 1 star like I did initially. After a reboot it should connect and then the plug-in is fantastic!"
Dave
"Even after enabling XMPP on the harmony app, it drops each time I disconnect and connect back to my wifi."
Mehdi SEBAI
"Before you can use this plugin, you need to enable XMPP in the Harmony app. You can do this by going into the app, clicking on Menu > Harmony Setup > Add/Edit Devices & Activities > Hub > Enable XMPP. If you do not do this first, it will always say connection failed."
Nick Betcher
"This plugin is absolutely necessary for harmony hub owners. Enable firmware api functionality in the harmony app, disable android battery optimization for this app, and you won't have any issues. This gives harmony the functionality it should have had out of the box."
John Colter
"Another waste of time by Tim Forsyth. Puts out a half-assed app then never updates. No response to user complaints. Don't waste your time."
Jo & Rick
"Doesn't work. Failed to connect to hub once and never was able to get it to retry. Every time I tried again it failed instantly but said it timed out after 5 seconds. I can only assume it caches the failure to connect which makes absolutely no sense. Based on other reviews this seems very flaky"
