`isOnOffSwitchEnabled": false` ignored if initially set to true #17

I installed the plugin with isOnOffSwitchEnabled": true, but I don't really want to be able to power off the appleTV with HomeKit.

I set the config file to be isOnOffSwitchEnabled": false, but the power accessory is still there. I've tried restarting homebridge multiple times, but the switch still shows in homebridge and in HomeKit.

Also, even though the switch still shows, it doesn't do anything.

Relevant sections of the log. Note that the "power" switch isn't added, but I don't know how to delete it.

You can (temporarily) remove the whole device from the devices array in the config.json. Then restart homebridge. The accessory should be gone. Now, add the device to the config.json again with the correct settings.

The issue that caused the switch to stay in HomeKit will be resolved in the next version.

New version that resolves the issue is on NPM.
