Leave a Review Harmony Watch & Siri Control
A good replacement for the Yonomi app
This HarmonyWatch app creates Siri shortcuts to allow Siri to run Harmony Hub activities. I’m writing this review after Logitech shut down support for the Harmony Hub, and I’m here to tell you this works!
I’ve been using the Yonomi app to allow Siri to control the Harmony Hub, but the Yonomi app has also been discontinued. The only other option I’ve found is to use a home automation server such as Home Assistant, but I don’t want to run a home automation server on my Mac 24/7 (or any other device).
This app requires your iPhone to be connected to your WiFi network in order to operate, so there’s no remote operation through the Internet, just FYI. I don’t need this ability so it’s not an issue for me.
The only con to this app is that after I use my HomePod to ask Siri to run the Harmony Hub activity, she says “You need to continue on the companion device”. You don’t, of course, but it is a small annoyance to hear Siri say this every time you run a shortcut. That said, I’m very happy to be able to control my Harmony Hub with Siri again!
Now that Logitech has discontinued the Harmony Hub, who knows how long it will continue working or be usable? For $3 this app is a great value! When and if this app or the hub ever stops working, consider getting the Nature Remo Nano to replace the Harmony Hub. It’s the first smart IR blaster that is also Homekit compatible to be made. Right now it’s only available in Japan, but I’d guess it will be available in the U.S. within the next year.Show lessaguamaned
Really fills a need
I just downloaded the app and I really like it. I used to rely on IFTTT/Webhooks to control my harmony hub with Siri. Much simpler with this app…. Plus, I can control my receiver with my Watch… Awesome ! Little bug… In the Watch app, when I want to use the scroll wheel to change the volume (excellent idea by the way), I have to go back to the main screen for it to work again.
Thanks for this app!Show lessMatbismuth
Support gone
No longer being supported. Web page goes to foreign no longer exists pageAstronom
Just what I was looking for.
So far it works great. Put all my remotes in a drawer and just use my watch. Don’t have to look for remotes any more. Have a 16 month old grandson who loves pressing buttons and taking them.llewisw
Dosent work right
Why can't I see and pick my devices,this app only works with activities,scamhash7070
Can't find hub, crashes when entering manual IP
This app worked on the watch and the associated phone app about a year ago. But one of the iOS or watchOS updates appeared to have killed it. It cannot find my Harmony hub (though it used to be able to). Entering the IP address of the hub manually (which should in principle permit the watch app to connect) crashes the iPhone app.Show lesscheburashka
Is this dead?

Siri Shortcuts not working
Unfortunately the Siri Shortcuts I’ve added to my Home Screen do not work, any ideas?Kablah!
Should have listened doesn't work on watch
The buttons simply don't respond on watch. Occasionally one in dozens seems to work but 99.999% nothingDevedander
Works well. Results depend on your Wi-Fi
It’s not the app, it’s your Wi-Fi coverage that matters. TPlink full house MESH / Deco network let’s this app work well with Harmony Home Ultimate (two hubs and theaters) and iWatch5. Big area but the network is fast and robust build out. I know my stuff so get this app. Enjoying it all over.Flason
