Limit to only Nest Thermostat showing in HomeKit? #71

Is there a way to limit homebridge-nest to only show/present the Nest thermostat within HomeKit when owning multiple Nest devices?

I have protects and cams but due to their limited current functionality, I would like them to not show in HomeKit to simplify the accessories shown for my other users.

When adding the homebridge in iOS 10 there appears no way to select which devices you want to add it's an all or none scenario. Furthermore, once added there is no way to remove a single device such as the cam or either of the two instances created for each protect (1 for smoke and 1 for CO2)

Can I second that request? In my case I have two Nest Thermostats at different physical locations (connected by VPN). Adding my account details to config.json added both of these devices to HomeBridge with the result that they both show up in the same home with HomeKit. This is confusing even if you move the accessories into different 'rooms'. If there were some way to select the devices you wish to include or exclude it would be really helpful.

Or, give the ability to setup two different locations to differentiate the two thermostats.
