AV Remote Card

Last updated 2 months ago
This card utilizes the built-in glance lovelace card to create a remote that fires commands from your harmony hub.
This card requires you to install and setup the following components:
​Logitech Harmony​
Once harmony is set up, open [HUB_NAME].conf (located at the root of your config folder). Here you will find a listing of all the devices and the commands they can issue. Each device starts with something like: 53209424 - LG TV. The number on the left is the device code for that device. You will utilize tap_action to send the command. A service block looks like this:
    service_data:
      "entity_id": "remote.joehubz"
      "device": "53209424"
      "command": "Mute"
Swap your device code and command name to customize for your AV setup.
Finally, switch out the entity for some dormant binary sensor in your system. In the example below, I used my front_door sensor.
Change the icons and device codes to your own.
If you are still able to "Configure UI" you can drop the code into a new card. If you have taken full manual control, you can !include the remote file. (shown below)
ui-lovelace.yaml
# if you have taken manual control
      - type: glance
        cards: !include remotes/lg.yaml
