I have thoroughly enjoyed Khazul for its Harmony integration. Now I’m adding a second hub and have hit a snag.
I was on the step of adding the “virtual device” : “TCL 4k roku tv”. Logitech created one, but when I investigated the commands associated with the device, the list didn’t bear much resemblance to the commands found in the Khazul instructions. It seemed to be an actual ROKU device command list.
If I’m right, I’m stuck. How do I tease the "correct’ device from Logitech? Many thanks.
The plugin works by making Roon mimic a Roku device so it adds one to you Harmony config. So this is normal to Harmony its essentially a Roku and will exhibit the control configuration of one in Harmony. Not really sure what you issue is. You have to make an activity that uses the 2nd Roku as its main source and Harmony will map the buttons to control it to the controller. The extension will automatically map the main controls to functions in Roon.

Are you saying that you dont see any of those above on your Harmony when configuring it?
No I see quite a few commands, but there are some irksome differences. There is no ‘reverse’ in harmony, just ‘rewind’. No ‘forward’ in harmony, just ‘fast forward’. Up, down, left, and right, all have ‘Direction’ prepended. And in Harmony, there are several commands to activate streamers (Netflix, M-Go, Vudu, Hulu, and HBONow) that are not referenced in Khazul.
Now I think I have identified TCL TV #2 (that was the problem that had me stumped) and am working my way through the above vaguaries. I will report back. Thanks for your help.
There will be unsed commands as the controls for Roku have buttons to start streaming services, he only lists ones that are useful. Netlfix, Vudo etc are of no use. Fast Forward is Forward, Reverse is Rewind. Names change from Harmony, dont worry about they all make sense as to what they map to.
