Special thanks to the amazing uswong for adding this new feature!
Notable Changes
The new ConfigCreator can now be run from Homebridge UI! Once the Advantage Air device(s) is/are defined (note that only a maximum of 3 devices can be processed by ConfigCreator) and saved, click the CONFIG CREATOR button to auto-create the cmd4 configuration file required to run the homebridge-cmd4-AdvantageAir plugin. Make sure you check the checkbox if you want the fan to be setup as FanSwitch instead of a 'Fan' accessory before you click the CONFIG CREATOR button.
This can be run by existing users if they want to update to the newest (and best!) config options available. You can always inspect or edit the configuration created in homebridge-cmd4 (not homebridge-cmd4-AdvantageAir) JASON Config editor if you want after the fact; for example if you do not like the naming convention used. Once the configuration is created, you can then use the CHECK CONFIGURATION button to check whether the configuration meets all the requirements.
NOTE: HOOBS users and users without access to Homebridge UI have to run the ConfigCreator from their terminal and follow the prompts. Instructions can be found here.
Other Changes
Addition of FanSwitch config option. For users who would rather have the Advantage Air fan as a Switch accessory instead of a Fan accessory. Fan speed will still be coupled and controlled with the FanSwitch accessory like it is with the Thermostat.
Terminal mode of ConfigCreator.sh now has improved instructions in coloured form.
v3.6.0
