Help with configuring JSON to display accessories in Homekit

[ItsRubycub]

Hi, I’m not familiar with programming Homebridge, it's new for me. Here at home we got 5 Heater/Cooler-units connected to MELCloud and would like to use them though HomeKit with Homebridge. I already followed the steps as given here: https://github.com/grzegorz914/homebridge-melcloud-control but don't know how ti configure the JSON-file in there.

I installed the MELCloud Control Plugin as written:

These are the Heater/Cooler-units that are showing up in the "accessories" tab in homebridge:

This is the code that already exists in the "configure" tab in homebridge (also see for the screenshot if not clear): { "bridge": { "name": "Homebridge FA32", "username": "deleted here for privacy reasons", "port": 51305, "pin": "deleted here for privacy reasons", "advertiser": "bonjour-hap" }, "accessories": [], "platforms": [ { "name": "HomeBridge", "port": 8581, "auth": "form", "theme": "auto", "tempUnits": "c", "lang": "nl", "platform": "config" }, { "accounts": [ { "name": "Ruben Melcloud", "user": "deleted here for privacy reasons", "passwd": "deleted here for privacy reasons", "language": "12", "ataDisplayMode": 0, "ataPresets": false, "atwDisplayMode": 0, "atwPresets": false, "ervDisplayMode": 0, "ervPresets": false, "disableLogInfo": false, "disableLogDeviceInfo": false, "enableDebugMode": false, "enableMqtt": false, "mqttAuth": false, "mqttDebug": false } ], "_bridge": { "username": "deleted here for privacy reasons", "port": deleted here for privacy reasons }, "platform": "melcloudcontrol" } ] }

This is the code that already exists in the "MELCloud Control" in the "plugin" tab in homebridge (also see for the screenshots if not clear): { "accounts": [ { "name": "Ruben Melcloud", "user": "deleted here for privacy reasons", "passwd": "deleted here for privacy reasons", "language": "12", "ataDisplayMode": 0, "ataPresets": false, "atwDisplayMode": 0, "atwPresets": false, "ervDisplayMode": 0, "ervPresets": false, "disableLogInfo": false, "disableLogDeviceInfo": false, "enableDebugMode": false, "enableMqtt": false, "mqttAuth": false, "mqttDebug": false } ], "_bridge": { "username": "deleted here for privacy reasons", "port": 37449 }, "platform": "melcloudcontrol" }

Where do I put what code so the accessories show up in HomeKit-app?

Thanks in advance! Ruben

Why you not use GUI to configure it? In most cases you need only set user, passwd and language. Are you added this accessory to HomeKit after configured? https://github.com/grzegorz914/homebridge-melcloud-control/wiki#adding-to-homekit

OMG I was looking over it, misunderstood it at the first glance. I feel so dumb to be honest.

Thanks for helping (so fast 🥇)!

Here's a glimp that it succeeded:
