Hide all control buttons when Harmony Hub is off

[Snuffy2]

Just installed and everything is working well. Great job! I was wondering if there was any way to set it to hide all of the buttons except the Activities when the Harmony Hub is off. I'm sure others may not want this, so an option would be great.

Hi @Snuffy2 , I managed to do what you describe with multiple "harmony-card" and a combination of the "conditional" card (shows if the state of the sensor.harmony_xxx_activity is not 'PowerOff') and the "custom:vertical-stack-in-card" (find on HACS, shows the cards in a vertical stack with no line separation).

Exemple :

type: custom:vertical-stack-in-card
cards:
  - type: custom:harmony-card
    entity: remote.xxx
    activities:
      - name: Activity 1
        device: Device x
      - name: Activity 2
        device: Device y
    buttons:
      '0':
        hide: true
      '1':
        hide: true
      '2':
        hide: true
      '3':
        hide: true
      '4':
        hide: true
      '5':
        hide: true
      '6':
        hide: true
      '7':
        hide: true
      '8':
        hide: true
      '9':
        hide: true
      volume_down:
        icon: mdi:volume-minus
      volume_up:
        icon: mdi:volume-plus
      volume_mute:
        icon: mdi:volume-mute
      skip_back:
        hide: true
      play:
        hide: true
      pause:
        hide: true
      skip_forward:
        hide: true
      dpad_up:
        hide: true
      dpad_down:
        hide: true
      dpad_left:
        hide: true
      dpad_right:
        hide: true
      dpad_center:
        hide: true
      xbox:
        hide: true
      back:
        hide: true
      a:
        hide: true
      b:
        hide: true
      x:
        hide: true
      'y':
        hide: true
  - type: conditional
    conditions:
      - entity: sensor.harmony_xxx_activity
        state_not: PowerOff
    card:
      type: custom:harmony-card
        entity: remote.xxx
        hide_activities: true
        activities:
          - name: Activity 1
            device: Device x
...

Hopes this helps !
