Reset sensor names after homebridge reboot #572

Closed grzech1991 closed 2 months ago

grzech1991 commented 4 months ago

Hi,

I have a problem - after changing the name of the sensor in the home app, homebridge does not remember it - after a reboot it is restored to default to Temperature. The same problem applies to humidity sensors.

As long as I do not perform a reboot homebridge is ok.

I am writing about the configured name option

Hi, yeah I am aware of that. The issue is that there is a bug in the home app and previously after a reboot all the accessories had the same name and each of them had to be renamed automatically. So I changed that to the current behavior, which is also not optimal but a better one than before. In order to manually store the name I would need to do some re-writing of the plugin, just not sure when I will have the time to tackle that...

Ok thanks, that means this is normal behavior. Is there possibly a halfway solution to default the sensors to names such as:

Temperature Humidifier Temperature Purifier

Or that they can be edited in the json file? Although I guess that doesn't change anything.

Another option, is it possible to delete them? E.g. by unchecking?

You know, I'm thinking of such half-hearted solutions.

Yeah for now this is a normal behavior. You can use the suppressAutoServiceCreation property if you wish to disable some of them.

Can you write me how to do it or is there any instruction on the web? I am closer to an administrator than a programmer

Just check the documentation, the property is described there.
