I have this issue aswell. Trying to downgrade.

[donavanbecker]

Can you try the latest beta?

Can you try the latest beta?

Just installed it. It nearly fixes my issue, but now all my devices appear as switches AND plugs in the Home app. The plugs work while the switches still throw an error in the Homebridge log.

In the meantime I'm downgrading to 3.4, which woks flawlessly.

[failbit]

Can confirm. 3.4 works flawless after downgrade.

[donavanbecker]

v3.5.1 has been released, please install and let me know if this has been resolved.

v3.5.1 has been released, please install and let me know if this has been resolved.

It didn’t work. I still have a plug and a switch for each device for some reason (I only want a switch).

I get errors when I use the switch. The plug appears to work for the most part. I’m not sure what I’m looking at, but here’s my log…

in the meantime I’m going back to 3.4

[thatpaulallen]

Not sure if this is helpful information or not, but both times I’ve rolled back my firmware I had to go back to 3.3 and then forward to 3.4 to get the plugs on each device to disappear.

The plugs remained if I merely rolled back to 3.4.
