Your Current NRCHKB Plugin Version

1.4.3

Operating System

Hoobs, Docker

How can we help?

If I'm deleting a service from NodeRed and deloy it, why it's not removed from Home app? How can I achive a deletion of a no longer needed service? I've not found a possibility nor a documentation about that topic.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Any more details?

If this is specific to some hardware or specific software version, please explain here.

Any code or functions to add?

No response

Sorry for the delay... Christmas time is busy.

If you're using bridge mode, the service should go away from home app a few minutes after a deploy.

If you're using stand alone mode, you will need to manually remove the thing from your home app.

No problem for the later response.

I'm using the bridge mode. I've deleted the service and deployed it. After several minutes the services is still present. The only thing changed is, that the service is reporting: No Response

Any ideas?

Is it the only service on that bridge? It may be confusing to the Home app if so.

I would suggest you could add another service to the bridge so there is at least one on it...

or

Remove the bridge from Home app, nodered, redeploy, and start with a fresh bridge. Of course this is not a good option if there are a lot of other things all set up nicely on the bridge.

Yes, it was the only service on that bridge. Just for testing purposes. I‘ve added another service and the delete one gone. Seems so, as the bridge can‘t handle that with only one service present.

Thanks for your support ☺️
