Harmony Hub Automation

I am wanting to make an automation for my Harmony Hub. I have made an input_boolean so I can expose it to Google Assistant. Google Assistant natively supports the hub but it’s too ‘specific’ If I want to turn everything off at night as part of my bedtime routine, I have to say 'Turn off xxxx" and specify the activity.
If I make an input_boolean, I can just turn that on or off and it can trigger the turn_off service for the hub.

But I’m losing my mind with the automation. I have 2 automations that are working but it occurs to me I should be able to use only 1.
The input_boolean needs to turn on/off if I am operating the hub (so the boolean and the hub are always in sync)
Here is what I have…

- id: 'harmonyon'
  alias: Harmony Remote On
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    from: 'off'
    to: 'on'
    entity_id: input_boolean.harmonyremote
  - platform: state
    from: 'off'
    to: 'on'
    entity_id: remote.harmony_hub
  action:
  - service: input_boolean.turn_on
    entity_id: input_boolean.harmonyremote
  - service: remote.turn_on
    entity_id: remote.harmony_hub
    data:
      activity: "Watch DTV"
- id: 'harmonyoff'
  alias: Harmony Remote Off
  trigger:
  - platform: state
    from: 'on'
    to: 'off'
    entity_id: input_boolean.harmonyremote
  - platform: state
    from: 'on'
    to: 'off'
    entity_id: remote.harmony_hub
  action:
  - service: input_boolean.turn_off
    entity_id: input_boolean.harmonyremote
  - service: remote.turn_off
    entity_id: remote.harmony_hub

any help appreciated… @petro ?
