TV icon is a House #419

After doing some research online, apparently with iOS 14, the icon for TV devices are set to a House if the TV device goes through a bridge.

Not knowing anything about homebridge API's or how to write plugins, apparently this is the fix:

"The TV accessory needs to be exposed as a external accessory on its own platform ... using the homebridge API it's publishExternalAccessories"

Is this possible to do?

My current config with the 'television' type does work with the inputs and stuff, but having the icon as a House is a little sad :-(

Cheers, and thanks for all the hard work you've already put into this -- it's been best way to integrate all my DIY stuff into homebridge/kit
