Posibility to change the state of harmony #60

Is it posible to add a feature to change the state of the harmony hub, when someone uses the original remote. So it would be possible to use alexa and the original remote control. When the TV is turned on with the original remote, iobroker can change the state of the hub.

The adapter uses the harmony api and as you will see, if you turn on your tv with the original (non harmony) remote, also the Harmony app won’t know, that your tv has been turned on. How could it know, which activity you are currently using? You could have 10 activities including your tv. Thus, Harmony is not able to detect this and the adapter just mirrors the harmony logic.

Ok, then it's unfortunately not possible if the api can not do that.
