… with configuring the various options. Well done! I also really love the following plugins: Homebridge Camera FFmpeg for viewing my Wyze camera Homebridge Harmony for controlling my Harmony hub on my oldest (but still kickin') TV Homebridge Ring for my Ring doorbell. I'm excited to see if button presses work with tvOS now--I could never get it working on my own Homebridge Securitysystem for a home-made security system. It's obviously a lot of thought was put into designing some of the features. I saw the author post the other day and decided it was time to move away from the previous plugin I …

With the Harmony Homebridge plugin, you can create HomeKit switches that activate when an Harmony Activity is on. You could create fake Activities to trigger a scene or associate a scene when a real activity starts or stops. I use an HomeKit automation to lower the screen and blinds and turn off the lights when I activate the Projector Activity.

… Thanks very much for the reply, however I’m afraid I don’t understand the solution. Yes, the Projector activity is shown in HomeKit, using homebridge-harmony. *“Set up each Activity the way you want in Harmony, ignore the projector.”* I think you’re suggesting I set up my HDMI switch as a separate Activity in Harmony. Is that right? How do I then configure this so that I end up with a button of some kind in Home which has five options, one for each HDMI input?

I don’t know if I’d recommend it now as it is discontinued (still supported tho) but the old Logitech Harmony Hub works perfectly in Homebridge.

So here's my setup: I have two rooms, each running a TV, an Apple TV, and rocking a Harmony Hub. Only one of the TVs is CEC capable but I'm not using the CEC capability (because the TVs are connected to more than the Apple TVs. Harmony manages TV power). The other TV is fairly old, doesn't even have discrete commands (gotta press "input" several times to switch). Homebridge is running two instances of *HarmonyHubWebSocket* My config file looks a little like this: { "bridge": { "name": "Homebridge", "username": "XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX", "port": #####, "pin": "###-##-###" }, "description": …
