Bridge and device naming #623

Open korskantevin opened 1 year ago

korskantevin commented 1 year ago

I hame two Homes in HomeKit and both has same Broadlink RM4 mini devices. In both homes i create accessory with name "TV" and in both homes I see bridge: TV C584 (Television) 74:65:59:79:43:D3

Name and MAC of both bridges are the same! So i cannot add both for them to different homes, If I add one of them, I cannot find the other in Homekit app. the only way is to change the name of dives from to to something else, but it's not convenient because i want to to on tv with my voice with HomePod and i don't want say something else then TV.

renaming of device in HomeKit works only until homebrige is restarted then the name changes back to the name from config

Try assigning different IP addresses for each in your router, then change the config to use the IP addresses instead of MAC addresses.

Sorry, just out of curiosity, why you have 2 houses in Homekit with the same Broadlink accessories?. I would understand that if you have 2 houses in Homekit it is because "physically" you have 2 houses ...

Yes I have physically two houses with two different Broadlink RM4 devices. I mean that they are same models RM4 mini. :)
