# AV Remote Card

![](/files/-LPKp9GLySs8Mzse5jiD)

This card requires you to install and setup the following components:

{% hint style="info" %}

* [Logitech Harmony](https://www.home-assistant.io/components/remote.harmony/)
  {% endhint %}

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:

```yaml
    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.

{% hint style="info" %}
Change the icons and device codes to your own.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
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)
{% endhint %}

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="ui-lovelace.yaml" %}

```yaml
# if you have taken manual control
      - type: glance
        cards: !include remotes/lg.yaml
```
