Unable to remove the variable devices from the main home page of the home app #13

I want to remove the devices created but he plugin from the main home page of the iOS app but when I inspect the settings they do not have an "include in favorites" switch so it appears impossible to remove them. I the app, they are listed as "not supported." I don't know if that is related but I've never see a device show that before and I've also never seen a device not have an "include in favorites" switch.

This is from iOS 14.3, iPadOS 14.3 and MacOS 11.1

I´m asking this also in #11. But it seems there is no more life in care and development of this plugin. :(

The plug-in supposed to work with 3rd party apps like eve or home+. The apple home app has no support for custom devices like the ones created by this plugin.

I’m fine with creating rules with eve but we mostly use Home to interact with HomeKit and it would be nice to get these off the home main page.

Ok, it is known that the Apple Home app does not provide any functionality of devices added via this plugin. But they are displayed in the Apple Home app. Whether you can hide them in the Apple Home app is our question. Possible with a feature update of the plugin?
