Select camera displayed in HOME #30

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe: I have both EUFY Doorbell and EUFY CAM 2 PRO The Eufy CAM 2 Pro is homekit compliant so it is already displayed in HOME. When I install the homebridge-plugin-eufy-security I have the Doorbell PLUS the Cam 2 Pro displayed via the plugin so at the end I have twice the Cam 2 Pro.

Describe the solution you'd like: It would be great to be able to whitelist or blacklist cams in the plugin to manage that issue.

Describe alternatives you've considered: None

Additional context: NA

There's already a solution for this. Create a second Eufy account and share access to only the doorbell with it. Then use that account for HomeBridge. That's what you should be doing anyway, as HomeBridge has a tendency to lock you out of your main Eufy account if you restart it too frequently.

Thank you for your answer. In that case I won’t be able to see both my cams at the same time in Eufy apps right ? I will need to switch accounts in Eufy apps.

@amery78, no no, you just leave your main Eufy account logged in for the Eufy app and can still see both cameras. The secondary account is treated as a guest/family member account. It just has view-only access to the doorbell. In the Eufy app, in the doorbell settings, there's a "share device" option towards the bottom.

Ok thanks ! I will have a closer look then.

It works ! Thank you for the tip :)

a other solution for this is! extend your config with the serial numbers of the device witch ignore: example: "ignoreDeviceSns": [ "YOUR SERIAL" ]
