That was posted before OH2 beta which seems to have causes a few issues/broken some things.
However, why are you using the old versions instead of the 1.8 or even 1.9 snapshots? Try using up-to-date versions as that may solve your troubles, let us know if that doesn’t work.
Just a FYI, I have the OH2 port almost ready to go, https://github.com/openhab/openhab2-addons/pull/639 I expect to have a few
more changes before it gets included, but its mostly working. I’ll try and
get something posted soon.

@danielwalters86, would you mind either linking me someplace to learn how to build the bindings from their source, or give me a brief overview on it? I’m a little hazy on it.
Awesome! Coming back to see this way too late haha. Gonna try this tonight. I got some rad IR flameless candles that I want to link up with my hue lights.
Does anyone have some examples of accessing the auto generated harmony things/items from rules? I am trying to get this working with the echo/hue emulator binding…
My current approach is to use a proxy item associated with the echo to trigger a rule that then send the string to the harmony hub or device. I can watch the string update in the thing area within habmin, but no action occurs. I have tried sendCommand and postUpdate. I believe a “button push” uses sendCommand, so i assume that is the correct one to use based upon the binding examples showing a sitemap with switch items utilized as button pushes.
Before i post my sorry attempt, would be willing to show some of your working examples? Do you have sitemap and rules setup to work with your autogenerated things/items for harmony hub?
I dont want to waste your time troubleshooting my ignorant attempt, with some examples, i am sure i could work it out.
I’m pulling my hair out with the Harmony Binding. I’ve installed the binding using the paper UI, the “things” were found and added. I want to run an activity and wrote the Items and Sitemaps as I had it in OH1. (with the minor change in the items due to the channels). In the log, it says the change in state for the activity but then I run into to a “Unauthorized policy write haDevice denied” in the log.

It’s been a while, but i believe i setup the items in the hub first, and when i added the binding and discovered the hub, the additional items came with it (roku and tv).
I created proxy switch items to use with rules and the echo. Switch eVolume "Level" ["Switchable"]
rule "TV Volume" when Item eVolume received update then if (eVolume.state == OFF) { sendCommand(harmonyhub_device_HarmonyHub_36462390_buttonPress, "VolumeDown") sendCommand(harmonyhub_device_HarmonyHub_36462390_buttonPress, "VolumeDown") } else if (eVolume.state == ON) { sendCommand(harmonyhub_device_HarmonyHub_36462390_buttonPress, "VolumeUp") sendCommand(harmonyhub_device_HarmonyHub_36462390_buttonPress, "VolumeUp") } end
Sadly, I, too, cannot get the binding to find anything.
Already tried with a totally clean snapshot setup with only the Harmony Hub binding installed (via PaperUI). Nothing. So I added the hub manually by using the name my Harmony App (on my phone) is using, which is working fine.
I only get the error that a hub with the name specified could not be found.
I worked this out. I didn’t know the binding was actually using other ports for the communication. Looking at the logs (debug) I recognized that the binding was starting a local Harmony server - and then I realized: I am using iptables to block all traffic except certain ports. Opening up all of them (for now) fixed this issue.
TLDR: Open up your ports, if you want the binding to discover anything!
