Iterate on Harmony integration #22

Some ideas from that issue:

I could add the default action, ie direct tv, as a media player, but that might involve setting up a universal player that encapsulates the harmony controls. It might be worth looking at using the remote.harmony component instead of harmony-api. That'd be less software running at the very least.

Harmony is killing off their local API, so not worth trying to pursue this.
