Hi
Great news! I have 3 units and am looking forward to test it. Just let me know in which way you will provide the new code after having it discussed with the creator/maintainer.

Sounds great! Where can I see it?

I've been running it on my local installation for a bit longer and optimised a few bits.

Looks great! Thank you for your work.
Only a few suggestions:
Default-Model
) - I think this relates to the accessory.context.device.deviceModuleNumber valueWhat do you feel is the way forward? Do I depreciate this one or migrate your files over?
It might be worth keeping this repo alive, depending on the specific needs of the existing user base (since there are a variety of systems out there). I've only entered the Homebridge scene, so I'll leave that call to you.
As for the feedback - thank you!
Hi all!
I explored how to transform this project into a platform-style plugin and have a working prototype ready. I will conduct some more testing before publishing it but wanted to check in with the creator/maintainer of this project and the community to discuss how to go about it.
Characteristics of the fork:
Merging the base project with the fork might make for a very bumpy upgrade path because I changed quite a few things (in line with the current plugin developer docs), including a different structure of the settings and accessories.
I might actually have changed so much that an existing installation would break after the upgrade, or at least result in an unclean config mixing old and new settings.
There might be people out there who are happy with one device only, and I am wary of updating a well-working plugin with a version that might have a beta character to begin with.
Since Homebridge doesn't seem to have a beta versioning framework afaik, my personal preference is to publish the project as new package, let people test it without wrecking their functioning setups, and then we can reconvene and discuss where we go from there to keep this project thriving.
Would love to hear your opinion.
