Logitech harmony ultimate home remote3/20/2024 I have just changed the 2.4GHZ Wifi channel on the router from 7 to 5, after reading a Reddit post about Harmony hub connection issues. I have a good WIFI signal through out the house, I am not using any additional Access Points or Range extender type devices, its just the one Asus router that everything connects to. I’ve tried clicking the Refresh button in the HR app but it doesn’t help. When the Android device / Home Remote cannot connect to the Harmony hubs, everything else still works, the Harmony remote control handsets still work, the Harmony app on the same Android device still works as does Imperihome.ĭo the Harmony hubs go to sleep for pings and access to the websocket API ?Īs I said it seems sometimes I have to ping the Harmony hubs from another Linux box to get things connected again with Home Remote on the Android device. The Harmony app on my phone that also connects to the hubs via the Harmony cloud. The Wifi channel is 7 and I’ve check that no nighbours are using the same Wifi channel. The Harmony hubs are connected on the 2.4GHZ WIFI as is the Android device running HR. If I SSH on to any of my Linux boxes however, the router itself an Asus RT-AC86U running Merlin firmware or my Raspberry Pi or one of my Vera hubs, all these Linux boxes can ping the Harmony hubs IP’s just fine.Īfter I have pinged the Harmony hubs from one of these Linux boxes, this seems to then get ping working again on the Android device running HR and it can then ping the hubs OK and in turn HR then connects to the Harmony hubs OK. I assume Home Remote is using the local websocket API as I don’t think I have XMPP enabled on the hubs.Īlso I believe this is not just a Home Remote issue, as when this happens and Home Remote cannot connect to the Harmony hubs, if I try to ping the Harmony hubs (static LAN IPs) from the Android device it cannot ping them. I never had this issue in Imperihome, however Imperihome connects to the Logitech Harmony cloud for its integration, as you have to sign in with your Harmony login details. Quite often in Home Remote it is unable to connect to my 3x Harmony hubs and the tiles say “Unknown”.
