New device discovered, you must add it to the config.json settings.

Describe The Bug:

After a fresh install of the latest Homebridge and installing the latest version of the plugin I can successfully discover my device using my credentials from Midea. After I click Add (token visible) and I restart my Homebridge as instructed I get the message:

New device discovered, you must add it to the config.json settings.

It seems like my config.json is empty, I found no sample code how to add it manually and retrieve my tokens as during adding it they are truncated.

The accessory doesn't become visible in Apple Home.

After you add click on Add you also need to save the form, with the save button at the bottom of it.

Hey @kovapatrik thanks for the quick reply. I did that but here's a JAM recording for it - https://jam.dev/c/fb64a789-bbd4-483d-9219-397d5211e420

It says its a private link.

[andretimar]

@kovapatrik sorry, should be public now.

[kovapatrik]

hm yeah, it should appear in the form as a new device and it's not doing that. let me check

[kovapatrik]

it's working at my end, maybe there are some extensions in your browser which blocks JavaScript code? or some cases the browser itself can do that

Worked like a charm in incognito, thanks for the quick support, it's working perfectly now! 🇭🇺 🍺
