TV assessory input channel names STILL missing after a power cut #21

@padman74,

  • I think the issue is resolved now with the latest version 0.4.3.
  • I fixed the code so that renaming the HDMI inputs in the Home app is persisted across restarts.
  • Inputs can be hidden (unchecking the orange check box) in the Home app, this is also persisted across restarts.

In order for all features to work properly, I highly suggest to:

  1. Update the plugin version
  2. Set "tvAccessory": false in the config
  3. Restart Homebridge (this will remove the TV from HomeKit)
  4. Set "tvAccessory": true in the config
  5. Restart Homebridge (this will add the TV again, this time with all the mentioned features)

I am with version 0.6.1 (the latest) and follow instruction to add the tv accessory successfully. When I reboot the my server (Raspberry Pi 3) all HDMI inputs are still working. However, if I unplugged the power cord (I tried to replicate a power cut situation) then when replug it again, the TV accessories would break again, losing all HDMI channels, and show off-on-on-on-on as if there are 5 switches.

Try the latest version of the plugin, where TV accessories are exposed as external accessories. This might also solve the issue where inputs are not loaded correctly by the Home app.
