Hi ALL,
As I indicated in another thread, I’m using my R2 as my daily remote and its doing everything my Harmony Elite could do and much more. Admittedly there was a very high level of frustration when I first got it but with the help of many in this forum I got it to where it is today.
One of the reasons for the R2 doing things more than the Harmony is that I set up a Home Assistant Green. I was a total neophyte with HA, and I’m far from being well versed but I managed to get a ceiling fan, shades, lights and Wi Fi enabled thermostats working in HA and then working within R2.
For one of my controlled lights I had set up a couple of scripts to turn it on at a certain level and to turn it off. I realized a few days ago it might also be useful to have full control of the light to be able to set it to any level. So I went back into the R2 configurator and leaving the scripts alone I also added the full HA light control entity. And as easy as that I had the full control of the light in addition to the specific action of turning it on to a certain level and off. I also added the full control to my activities and that allows me to get to the full control if I need it.
The point I’m trying to make is that the customization level of the R2 in conjunction with HA is amazing. And I know I’m only scratching the surface as a lot more can be done. So even though it took me quite a while to get the R2 to do what I want it was well worth the effort!
WELL DONE UNFOLDED CIRCLE!!
