harmony-polyglot

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

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

IMPORTANT: We have had reports that pulling in this node servers profile may mess up other node servers, like isylink. Until this issue is resolved you may want to wait if that is an issue for you.

Settings

Server Node

The server node is the main node controlling the polyglot server.

  • Status: Updated with the UNIX Epoch time.
  • Version Major: The major version number of this program.
  • Version Minor: The minor version number of this program.
  • Hubs: The number of hubs the server is mananging
  • Debug Mode: The Logging debug mode.
  • Short Poll: The number of seconds between each time the Hub Nodes are polled to determine the current activity
  • Long Poll: The number of seconds between each time the Hub Nodes send a DON which can be used to verify it is alive.

Hub Node

The Hub node, one for each hub you define in the configuration.

Activity Node

A Node for each activity in each hub.

Device Node

A Node for each device defined in each hub.

Debugging

This node server creates a log file as Polyglot/config/harmonyhub-polyglot/harmonyhub.log, where 'harmonyhub' is what you called the node server in Polyglot. If you have any issues, first review that file, and also look for Errors with 'grep ERROR harmonyhub.log'.

The 'Debug level' of your HarmonyHub Servier in the ISY controls how much information shows up in this log. To see more info set it to 'Debug'. (Dont' use 'All', it is not currently working)

Programs

Monitoring can be done in the same way as detailed in the Camera Server

  1. On your machine running Polyglot
  • cd polyglot/config/node_servers/harmonyhub-polyglot
  • rm -f profile/*/*

  • cd polyglot/config/node_servers/harmonyhub-polyglot
  • make config
  • make profile.zip
