First I thank you for your beautiful work. I just wanted to ask you why the list of accessories to add doesn't work for me.

it is written that if nothing is specified, all accessories are added to homekit.

I tried to insert accessories such as sockets or lights, but to no avail, all the accessories present in Alexa are displayed on Homekit. maybe it would be nice to have a real list to flag the various accessories you want to have, thanks.

Hi @and43a, the list of device names needs to be the custom name you chose for the device such as “Front Door Light” or “Main Bedroom Lamp”.

Since these could be anything, it’s not possible to have a list because Homebridge plugins can’t change what the settings page shows. In other words, I can’t customize each user’s settings page.

also, each time plugin settings change the child bridge (if you have it enabled) or the entire homebridge server needs to be restarted.
