@dampney this developer seems to be inactive or just not maintaining this plugin anymore. I've submitted multiple issues as well and their last commit on another plugin project was 3 months ago.

I have the same issue as you with the switch names not carrying over. A work around I've found is that when you go into each switch and clear the name entirely, it will show the name you typed in within Homebridge in light greyed out text so you can at least tell which switch is which and then type the name in again accordingly.

Trust me, it's very annoying... but I hope this workaround helps you!
