Is there a way to make Logitech Harmony talk to My Server?

[Bes]

Hi

I am trying to write an app that will allow my Logitech Harmony Companion control my TPLink Kasa smart plugs. Currently I need to use Alexa, which is fine, but I want everything on the remote

I have gotten the npm to allow me to create a node.js app that will control/ query the plug which I plan to run on my server, but what I can't work out is how/ if I can get the Harmony Hub to discover my server and effectively talk to it. (i.e. passing a command on a button press). I assume this must be possible in some way, as devices like Hue/ OpenHab use TCP/IP to talk to each other. I can see how OpenHab can talk to Harmony but not the other way around?

Thanks for any help!

Talk into the top of the remote saying "Hey Harmony".

Ideally you're looking for a NodeJS wrapper around the Harmony Hub's API. Something like this:

You'll obviously need to know the IP of the Harmony on your server (you probably want to set this to static to avoid your DHCP server giving out another IP).
