This is what the Lovelace code looks like. If I switched inputs more often, Id just create buttons for this as well. This way if I need some of the lesser used commands, like switching the HDMI input on my receiver, I can still do that. I also added a button that will open the standard media player for the Harmony hubs that are created by default for each hub. I don’t have transport controls on the card because it’s easier to just play/pause from the Harmony remote itself, but you could easily add buttons for this if you’d like. This gives me easy access to all of the functionality I’m used to with the actual remote. In addition to the activity buttons, I’ve also added a volume slider.
To make the buttons function like selecting activities from the Harmony remote, I created switches for each activity. With my Picture Glance card, I decided to just use buttons to select activities instead of the Input Select method that I’d been using, because the buttons are quicker. If you like the dropdown menu method for selecting activities, you can use the default Input Select method, and add that Input Select as an entity on the card.
I’ve used Picture Glance cards, which will change the background of the card depending on which activity I have selected. It allows you to combine multiple cards, but unlike the default Vertical Stack card, the cards you combine don’t have card borders, so multiple cards can be combined and they look like a single card. I’m using one of the community custom Lovelace cards called, vertical-stack-in-card. You can already roll your own media player remote.
