To use your Harmony remote in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
The preferred way to setup the Harmony remote is by enabling the [discovery component](/components/discovery/).
However, if you want to manually configure the device, you will need to add its settings to your `configuration.yaml`.
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
remote:
- platform: harmony
name: Bedroom
host: 10.168.1.13
host: 10.168.1.13 # The IP of your hub
```
You can override some default configuration values on a discovered hub (e.g. the `port` or `activity`) by adding
a `configuration.yaml` setting. In this case leave the `host` setting empty so the platform will
discover the host IP automatically, but set the `name` in the config to match exactly the name you have
set for your Hub so the platform knows what Hub you are trying to configure.
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry with discovery
- platform: harmony
name: Living Room # This name must match the name you have set on the Hub
activity: Watch TV # Overriding the 'activity' setting for this discovered hub
```
Configuration variables:
- **name** (*Required*): The hub's name to display in the frontend.
- **host** (*Required*): The Harmony device's IP address.
- **host** (*Optional*): The Harmony device's IP address. Leave empty for the IP to be discovered automatically.
- **port** (*Optional*): The Harmony device's port. Defaults to 5222.
- **activity** (*Optional*): Activity to use when turnon service is called without any data.
- **scan_interval** (*Optional*): Amount in seconds in between polling for device's current activity. Defaults to 30 seconds.
