My First Homebridge Problem - Logitech Harmony Was Unresponsive IВ restarted my modem andВ router yesterday - something IВ do every month.Using aВ Raspberry Pi Zero WВ to Add aВ Camera andВ aВ Xiaomi Air Purifier 2 to HomeKit via Homebridge IВ recently purchased aВ Xiaomi Air Purifier 2, to avoid having dirty.Adding my Logitech Harmony Hub (TV, AV receiver, andВ Apple TV) to HomeKit via Homebridge IВ recently learned thatВ IВ can add aВ Logitech Harmony Hub, Logitech Harmony Companion.'airQualityName': 'MiAirPurifier2 AirQuality' 'ledBulbName': 'MiAirPurifier2 LED Switch', 'buzzerSwitchName': 'MiAirPurifier2 Buzzer Switch', 'humidityName': 'MiAirPurifier2 Humidity', 'temperatureName': 'MiAirPurifier2 Temperature', 'silentModeSwitchName': 'MiAirPurifier2 Silent Mode Switch', My old config.json looked more orВ less like this:.

The next step involves installing the new plugin: npm -g install homebridge-harmonyhub-plugin.

IfВ itвЂ™s there, we need to delete it: sudo rm cachedAccessories. You should see one file named cachedAccessories. Type cd /var/homebridge/accessories andВ then ls -la.

WeвЂ™ll need to delete the Homebridge cache, sinceВ it messes with our setup.

The next step is to get rid of the old plugin: npm uninstall -g homebridge-harmonyhub.

Stop Homebridge: sudo systemctl stop homebridge.

Log into your Raspberry Pi again, via ssh: ssh NowВ itвЂ™s time to update all of our npm packages with npm outdated - this took around 20-30 minutes to complete.AfterВ two days of testing, it appears thatВ the freshly updated homebridge-harmonyhub-plugin works asВ advertised, soВ IВ went with it. IВ used to use the homebridge-harmony plugin butВ since it hasnвЂ™t been updated, IВ had to go look forВ an alternative.

Restart your Raspberry Pi with sudo reboot.Д¬onfiguring Logitech Harmony Hub with Homebridge.

SinceВ IВ havenвЂ™t update the Raspberry Pi config app sinceВ last year, IВ decided to do soВ now: sudo raspi-config, scroll to 8 Update andВ press Enter.

AВ little cleanup comes next with sudo apt-get clean.

The next one is sudo apt-get dist-upgrade.

Then type in sudo apt-get upgrade andВ press Enter.

Oh, andВ set some time aside forВ this part - it took me about an hour. SinceВ IВ havenвЂ™t updated my RPi inВ many months, IВ chose to do this atВ this time.

This will be aВ continuation of my configuration detailed inВ this post.

Go into the Harmony app andВ click onВ Menu в†’ Harmony Setup в†’ Add/Edit Devices & Activities в†’ Remote & Hub, andВ then enable XMPP.

You must have Hub Software version 4.15.250 orВ later.

IВ had to make some changes butВ IВ finally got my Harmony Hub working with Siri onceВ again. They backtracked onВ their plans afterВ their users voiced their outrage andВ new firmware dropped aВ few weeks ago. Late last year IВ decided to get aВ Logitech Harmony Hub to be able to control my TV, receiver, andВ Apple TV with Siri butВ Logitech decided to change-up their plans, shutting down their local API whichВ integrated with Homebridge. IВ got aВ Raspberry Pi last year just to integrate some of my less-than-smart devices with HomeKit, soВ IВ could control them via Siri.
