Fan accessory (Vornado Transom) recognised by plugin but not in Home app.

Describe Your Problem:

Hi Joey! Very excited for the new fan support. Thanks for all your work on this.

Getting my new Vornado Transom fan set up, I'm running into an odd issue: The fan accessory is recognized and is available in the Homebridge Accessories list, and can be turned on/off through the Homebridge web UI. However, the device is not appearing in the Apple Home app, or any other HomeKit frontends (Eve, Home+).

I've turned on plugin debugging, and the following output from the plugin comes out on start-up. Not sure if there's any subtle issue with the config data that would be preventing it being picked up outside of Homebridge?

Let me know if there are further debugging steps I can take to extract more info. Thanks!

I've verified that it's not appeared in the “Default Room”.
I also tried renaming the accessory from “Extractor Fan” to “Extractor”, to eliminate the chance that there was confusion from the accessory type also being in the name, or from having spaces in the device name
