It was up for a few hours and then I shut it down before going to bed. It's back online again.

I see that earlier someone had a look at the server - anything interesting?
On reboot my server refound the Harmony Hub. It disconnected again after some time, but after ensuring all software, drivers etc, up to date and rebooting so far it has not disconnected again.
Re 'overflow commands' the issue seems to still be present. I did a test of holding the direction button down for circa 5 seconds. Log attached. As soon as I released the hard button the log stopped (ie it appears that the server stopped sending commands as soon as I released the button). However.... the action still continued after I released the button.
Log attached if of use.

From the log I see that the remote is repeating at around 10 commands per second. The server is not queuing up these commands but it appears that the hub is the one queuing them. What I can do is add an delay option to slow down the repeats. Since how fast a command can be processed can be a function of the device consuming the command I will make the repeat delay adjustable by the device being controlled. It will become a property on the hard buttons in the designer pages. I'll add that feature in the coming days.

My Harmony implementation is working flawlessly.
There are a few commands I would like to program to the hard function buttons. Can you point in the right direction?

I making very significant progress. I feel like I am getting close to the point where the remote can be configured perhaps 80 / 90 % the way I would like it. I've started to make custom layouts for my Harmony activities and it's mostly working well, but I am encountering bugs or little annoyances along the way.
My current issue : I want to launch Harmony activities from my custom icons and then load my own custom scene and not the default page that is linked to the activity (the one which auto-populates with all the discovered controls associated with the activity).
What I am currently doing is running a Macro to trigger the activity and then immediately load my custom scene
Macro|activate-source.hub at [HUB IP]-harmonyactivity-[HARMONY ACTIVITY]!loadscene|[MY CUSTOM SCENE]
That works most of the time. Circa 20% of the time the default scene loads anyway (which is annoying as it doesn't have my overlays etc etc).
Is there a better way to trigger a harmony activity without the associated scene trying to load also. Am assuming there is some code in the driver somewhere which immediately loads the Harmony Activity scene auto-populated with the found controls. Is there any way please to decouple that so I can make a choice to trigger an activity (or select a device) without the default scene trying to load?
Many thanks

Have you given thought towards moving your devices into myServer drivers and not use Harmony at all?
I am sure any activity you are using on Harmony side can be done same or better in myServer macros / automation events.
