Switch names resetting to 'Button 1' #87

Closed domdtyler closed 1 year ago

domdtyler commented 1 year ago

I have a number of IKEA TRADFRI button switches, which I am connecting to HomeKit via a Conbee II and homebridge-deconz running on an RPi 4. The buttons expose into HomeKit but their names continually reset to 'Button 1'. This makes it somewhat difficult to distinguish between them, requiring me to open the Advanced Features in Home+ (which does show the correct name as pulled through from Phoscon). I have tried changing the name in Home+, which sticks for a few minutes before the name resets to 'Button 1'.

I believe this may be a bug, but if I'm missing a setting somewhere, please do let me know!

I think that's a feature of Home+. It shows the label, like Apple's Home app, instead of the service name. I do see the changed service name in Eve, even after Home+ has reverted to the label.

As of iOS 16, service names are initialised from the accessory name, instead of the service name, as exposed by the accessory (i.c. the Homebridge plugin). I see that I don't yet expose Configured Name on the Stateless Programmable Switch service - will add that to the next release.

Thanks for the clarification! I think between this and #88, I need to have a chat with the Home+ developer! Thank you for all your excellent work on homebridge-deconz! It's fantastic and I much prefer the HomeKit-side control we get too!
