You may get a warning message or two, hopefully no - If I understand this correctly, CoRE is simply being used to connect the dots between the IFTTT Maker request on the web to your local network, right? Since this requires a server to be running at all times, could you in theory use something like ngrok to tunnel the commands from Maker to your local network, and bypass the need for a CoRE piston and changes to the CoRE code? Or does what we setup in CoRE format the HTTP request in a particular way that is necessary?

#Harmony assistant find and replace download

It should go off and download the necessary dependencies for a minute or two, then drop you back at the prompt.

#Harmony assistant find and replace install

This will install the web server and it’s dependencies.

Open a command/terminal window, navigate to your target folder, and run the command “npm install”. I’m on a Raspberry Pi, extracted to /home/pi/web-harmony

#Harmony assistant find and replace zip file

This is my first attempt at making my own app and sharing it on GitHub, so hopefully I didn’t mess it up.Įxtract the zip file to whatever folder you want. Phase 1 - get the web server up and runningĭownload the zip file from my GitHub site. This will make the setup process easier, and testing at the end of each phase will make troubleshooting easier as well. Since there are many moving parts to this installation, I’m going to divide them up into phases. CoRE smartapp installed with dashboard enabled.Static IP address for your internal web server and Harmony hub(s).Node.js installed on your internal web server (download here: ).

Theoretically it should be possible on a Windows machine or a Mac, but additional steps may be necessary note - all of my instructions are based on my experiences setting this up on a Raspberry Pi. Computer on your local network that stays turned on, logged in, and connected to your local network all the time.IFTTT account, with Google Assistant and Maker channels activated.The web server application captures the variable values from the CoRE web request and passes them to the harmony-hub-util application to issue the proper commands to your Harmony hub. IFTTT triggers it’s Maker channel to make a web request to CoRE running on your SmartThings account, passing along your command, destination IP address for your Harmony hub, and a command counter (like volume up 5, left 3, etc) as variables.ĬoRE, acting as the gateway between the internet and your internal network, takes the incoming request and stores the included variable values, then turns around and makes a web request to your internal web server, passing along the same variable values.

You execute an IFTTT applet using Google Assistant. This setup is probably not going to be a good solution for a casual or non-techie SmartThings user because it requires setting up an internal web server and most likely modifying the command set that I’ve included to customize it for your needs.

I was using this with my Echo Dot until I got it working through GH. Alexa/Echo users may want to check out his alexaHarmonyApp, it uses a custom Alexa skill rather than IFTTT+CoRE to accomplish the same thing. Much credit goes to sushilks from GitHub, he developed the js utilities for Harmony, I just created a simple web server that accepts GET requests and calls certain functions in his harmony-hub-util app. There’s no support for launching or ending activities, didn’t see a need since it’s easy to turn them on or off already using either GH/SmartThings integration or GH/IFTTT/Harmony integration. “Hey Google, tell master bedroom to mute” “Hey Google, tell living room left 3 times” “Hey Google, tell master bedroom volume up 6 times” This setup will allow you to issue individual button press commands by voice from a Google Home device to multiple Harmony hubs.
