Working great!
I’ve been using this app for years now. I got it so I could control things directly from my Apple Watch. The app, especially recently, has been very consistent with no glitches. One thing I recommend is to set a static I.P. address for your harmony puck connection within your WiFi router. And then connect the app by giving it that specific I.P. address. After doing that I never lose my connection.

Funktioniert nicht mehr
Der Hub wird nicht mehr gefunden und bei manueller Eingabe der IP stürzt dis App ab.
Vielleicht kümmert sich der Autor ja noch mal darum.
Wenn nicht, sollte die App aus dem Store entfernt werden.

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.

Not possible to change hubs
Has the potential to be very good but since o have 3 hubs and it is impossible to change hubs I am invariably in the wrong room
Funktioniert immer noch
Ich bin zugegebenermaßen etwas beeindruckt, dass diese App immer noch funktioniert. Allerdings sind meine Ansprüche auch nicht hoch: Ich möchte über ein iPhone 13 pro und einen Harmony Hub fertige Aktionen ausführen lassen und einige Geräte bedienen (lauter leiser).
Das klappt problemlos, sogar über die Apple Watch.
Schade dass die App offenbar nicht mehr weiterentwickelt wird.
