Add ability to hide lock

[OwlBawl]

By default doorbell exposes the lock, regardless it is used or not. So i have 2 lock while only 1 is real... Any option to hide one?

As far as I know, this is not possible in Homebridge. I can introduce a config parameter where you can specify the ID of the lock you want to hide. But for that, you would need to know the ID before the plugin registers the lock somehow.

Homebridge itself doesn’t support the devise “hide”, but if you could add “disable” / comment it would work. Many plugins have such option. Would appreciate.

Could you show me a plugin where this has been implemented? Would be great so I can follow some patterns.

Not sure the principles of this plugins fits your case... but these one I use and know they have ability to chose items which to expose to Homekit: https://github.com/smallwood69/homebridge-cgllc-airmonitor-s1 https://github.com/ebaauw/homebridge-rpi

One last question: could you show me your device's names? The plugin uses the "Device Name"/"Lock Channel"/"Lock Index" format to expose the locks, I would like to see your use case: you have multiple locks in 1 device? or does the device have multiple lock channels? or are there more devices? :)

Hope this what you asked for. If need something else - please tell

1 - is main door station - I use 2 - door ringbell, no lock in fact using (just outdoor apt. ring)

Yes, this is it, now I think I understand everything. :) I think I'm going to add an ignoredLocks optional entry to the config so you can ignore the 2nd one by its name.

Thank you in advance. Would wait the update from you 😊

I just published a new version, could you please try it? If you update to 1.3.0 and click on the Settings, you should see an "Ignored Locks" section on the Homebridge UI. Here you can specify the name of your lock you want to ignore. So in your case: DS-KH8520-WTE1/2/0 Then you need to restart Homebridge and sadly there is one more step needed because Homebridge caches accessories. Go to "Homebridge Settings / Remove Single Cached Accessory" and remove the lock from there too, then restart again. I hope it works for you!

Made all your guided steps. It really needs to be manually deleted. After the "Homebridge Settings / Remove Single Cached Accessory" and reboot - unwanted lock disappeared as supposed to. Thank you for your help !!! Now it's perfect )
