No unfortunately, you'll need to setup the device as new again.

Not really the answer I was hoping for, really frustrating that it's stopped cooperating with the harmony elite and hub - everything else still fine . .

Hello Whoosh,

We understand how you feel — we'll take it as feedback. Could you tell us more about what's happening with your Harmony Elite and Hub? Are you trying to control it using your Nest Mini?

Thanks,

Alex

For a long time had Harmony Hub with Harmony Elite linked to Google account so I could turn TV to Netflix, Prime, Disney etc on/off with Hey Google. Now Google says “Turning on X” but nothing happens. Fine with all other devices, lights, Nest thermostat etc.

Harmony app will turn things off/on so the hub works fine.

Harmony Elite remote works fine

Google Home app reads as linked to Harmony account (removed and relinked).

Rebooted harmony hub, removed and re-added hub

rebooted Nest mini

Rebooted router

All on same wifi

Did Google synch devices

Home app and Harmony app both working fine on android phone and android tablet

The Harmony Elite and hub have (and still do) always worked fine with my Denon AVC110 and my LG smart TV. It's commands via Google home that have stopped working. I say hey Google Netflix on (which used to work fine) she says, turning on Netflix - and nothing happens. All other Google home commands and routines for other things work fine.

Hey Whoosh,

We're sorry for the late response. Thanks for doing all those steps, have you tried resetting your devices to clear any congestion? Is it only happening with your Harmony Hub?

Regards,

Hi there,

 

To make sure, are your devices within the same network and assigned to the same home structure? Is there a chance you can try using a different network for isolation?

Hmm, was hoping it could be restored from a backup after completely removing and setting up again 😞
