Ignored devices still showing up

[gradyhouston]

Just got everything setup and it works perfectly.

The only thing I noticed is that now my iPhone is being added to the Home app along with my other devices (which are just 3 Samsung TVs). I've added the name of the device that's shown in the Home app to the "IgnoreDevice" array and have also created a Room in my Home app called "Ignored Room" and have added that Room to the "IgnoreLocations" array but my iPhone still shows in my Home app. You can see from the config that I even tried adding other "names" that this devices could be being found as.

Log from Homebridge:

Can you confirm that since you added the IgnoreDevices list to your config that you restarted homebridge? It should remove those as soon as you do.

[gradyhouston]

Yes, tried restarting several times.

I've included instructions to send me detailed logs. If you do this and send me (don't post here) the config file I can take a look at what is happening.

Is there a chance they need to be cleared out of the "Cached Accessories" in the Homebridge Settings?

[gradyhouston]

I tried that, too. Every time on restart of Homebridge, the device is added back to the cached list because it’s being added back as an accessory.

Send me the files and I’ll have a look. I am using this feature and lots of others have. This is the first time I’m hearing of an issue with it. Need to see the logs and the config file, though.

Yep, will send here in a bit.

The issue is that there is a singe quote (in this case an apostrophe) in the name of the device. For whatever reason, SmartThings is converting this or storing it as a character code for a right single quote which doesn't match how it is stored in the config file. For now, the work around is to rename the device in SmartThings to eliminate that character. I will have this fixed in the next release of the webhook.

Fixed in version 1.5.2
