I have put together a rough backport of the discovery logic in the 1.x version, you can find a compiled jar here https://github.com/digitaldan/openhab/releases/tag/1.8-harmony-disco , in order to use this you need to use a new property called discoveryName, this would be the name you gave your Harmony Hub when you set it up like “Great Room” or “Patio” mine looks like
harmonyhub:greatroom.discoveryName=great room
or wtihout the qualifier
harmonyhub:discoveryName=great room
the name is case insensitive. I also found I needed to reboot my hubs since the last release they pushed, so I would do that first. The other config values like host, username and password will be ignored if discoveryName is present and can safely be removed.
I’m sorry to hear that as well,. We are a community of hobbyists who spend only our free time making this project, which means there’s never enough time to do everything. And while I would like to make everyone happy and support all of the 1.x and 2.0 efforts, we need to focus on the future to make this the best possible smart home platform. The biggest contribution our community can do is to help get everyone to the 2.0 version of openHAB which will be released soon. I think is great how much support and effort I see on the forum from everyone regarding the push to 2.0!
