![]() You’ll need to choose their on and off state for each activity. (This next part here might not be needed): Now, you must go into Harmony Hub app and add/re-add that device for all activities that will use it or used to use it. Once this is done, you’ll see that SmartThings will now have a SmartApp associated with Logitech Harmony under the device definition. Choose one of your Harmony Hubs (assuming you have multiple Harmony Hubs) from the drop-down menu.Choose Option Re-Login (this is probably the point where you see that login screen.).Find SmartThings at the top of that list of devices.It references that login screen you mentioned. Here are notes I have used to add newly-added SmartThings devices to Harmony Hub. In a way it was a good exercise as it forced me to go through all those configuraton steps that I had done a long time ago and forgotten. I was then able to use the Harmony app and re-authorize my ST devices. I had to remove the existing phantom instance of the hub from ST, get it to ‘re-discover’ a new hub (strangely, still using the same Harmony account and credentials as the phantom one). All attempts to discover devices from my ST account via the Harmony app failed even though SmartThings thought it was connected to a valid hub. An additional wrinkle was that I now appeared to have two logical hubs (though only one was visible to the Harmony and ST apps) one of which was integrated into my SmartThings account, but without any devices visible to ST, and another yet undiscovered hub to which the remotes were paired. I finally was able to pair the new remote to the existing hub and still use old one standalone, but it involved creating a new Harmony account into which the old Harmony Touch was transferred. The Harmony FAQ’s imply that pairing a new touchscreen remote simply replaces the existing one as I found, this wasn’t true without a lot of undocumented trial and error configuration steps. I wanted to continue using it as a standalone). It involved copying existing device settings to the new remote (of which about 10% somehow didn’t transfer and had to be re-done), multiple attempts using hidden ‘advanced’ menus in the Harmony app to un-pair the old remote (only 1 touchscreen remote can be paired to a hub, and the old remote became unusable as a standalone as it kept trying to sync with the hub. Turns out there is no straightforward way to do it, at least known to me. I thought it would be easy but it turned into a days long project, figuring out how to unpair the Touch and pair the new remote to the hub without having to re-create my setup and devices from scratch. The Harmony integration is great (especially when combined with Echo for voice input) but can really become a handful to maintain… recently I took advantage of a holiday sale and decided to upgrade my old Harmony Touch remote to a Ultimate (I had the Touch already paired to my Harmony hub along with a Harmony Companion remote). I just can’t figure out how to get the Logitech Harmony SmartApp to show up under the SmartApp tab for this specific device. Remember, I have other similar bulbs set up in SmartThings, and each of them have both my Alexa and Harmony Hub SmartApps listed under each device’s SmartApps tab. I don’t remember the procedure to get Harmony Hub to show up as a smart app for that that specific smart light bulb in SmartThings.Īnd ultimately, I need Harmony Hub to see this newly added SmartThings device. However, unlike all the other similar bulbs I have in SmartThings, this new bulb does not have the Logitech Harmony Hub SmartApp show up in the list of available ones for that specific bulb device I configured. ![]() Once there, I see my Alexa SmartApp show up. So, if I’m correct, I need to go to the SmartThings app, go to my new bulb’s configuration, and go into the SmartApps tab. ![]() Harmony Hub cannot see the newly added SmartThings device. I know I need to get Harmony Hub to see the bulb connected to SmartThings so that I can add it to a Harmony Hub activity. And here is where I forget what next to do. And I can control it through SmartThings just fine. So, I plug in the new smart light bulb (same type as my prior ones) and successfully add it to SmartThings with the bulb’s new name. Today, I had to remove a smart light bulb physically and from SmartThings and replace it. For instance, I have a Harmony Hub activity to turn on certain lights (where the lights are configured through SmartThings.) Harmony Hub see the bulbs through SmartThings and triggers the lights when the activity is called. I’ve had my Harmony Hub/SmartThings configuration set up for a long time.
