How goes Harmony Hub implementations?

Dave Li, if you guys pull off full Harmony Integration - it would be a "Harmony Killer"
How nice not having to have to worry about Logitech pull the plug on the remote server

It seems to me that the Harmony hub tries to 'phone home' when you start or end activities. If you carry on triggering activities from myServer instead I would expect the hub to behave the same. I'm imagining that it's only when we have myServer coordinating the power on/off and input select of devices that we won't have to worry about the Logitech servers going away (just have to worry about the hub stopping working instead).

Does anyone have a functional Harmony integration? I still cannot navigate any devices using the direction pad. If I press left/right/up/down it fires off that command repeatedly/infinitely until I press another direction, in which case it starts repeatedly firing that command instead.

I've tried deleting the myServer Harmony driver and redoing everything from scratch and the result is the same. I've looked at the commands bound to the direction buttons in myDesigner and it looks like they're tied to the standard navigation commands. Also, the Harmony remote itself works as expected as it always has, but I did take a look at the Interkey delay in the Harmony software just in case and they are at the standard default

I feel like I must be missing something, but for the life of me I have no idea what.

There will be a Harmony driver update tomorrow. Please wait until then. Watch this forum for updates.

I'm still not on an 'official' setup so I'm always reluctant to weigh in on anything. But I started trying to debug this last night as I managed to get the Harmony driver working and displaying activities and devices in the smartremote template when accessed through the myDesigner simulated remote. When I press a directional arrow (in my case for our Sky+HD satellite box) the on-screen highlight skips along four items when it should move just one. It does this reliably and repeatedly. Using Wireshark I can see that for each single directional command myServer sends one xmpp packet as follows:

I wonder if it needs to immediately send a 'release' command after the 'press' event? According to this it sounds to me like this might be the problem. I can't see what the official Harmony remote app on my phone is sending as the packets appear to be encrypted. Boo!

Will do. Just wanted to verify that this isn't something specific to my configuration that I'm missing.
