Serial number to switches?

[permaMonk]

It’s possible to add a feature like different (fake) serial numbers to each switch? Cause I’ve here a app which can make backups of Homekit, but complains about the same serial number in all fake switches.

Funny, I came here looking to see if there was a line I could add to my switches in the config to add serial numbers as well. The latest Controller update looks solid!

[permaMonk]

Yes the idea about fake serial numbers is coming from using the Controller app. :)

[MirkoKas]

+1 (funny how the controller update brought that sensitivity for the serial number for more people than me)

@nano9g You made a fork and solved the problem with serial numbers? How? If yes how to get that code? Sorry I’m not that familiar with all GitHub functions.

@permaMonk Uninstall the existing homebridge-dummy plugin, then run: sudo npm install -g --save https://github.com/nano9g/homebridge-dummy/tarball/master It will still display as @nfarina's plugin because I haven't updated package.json, but it will have the new code.

Thx for fast reply.

Will I miss all my dummies even if I saved the config file or will the changes in your plug-in handle also my old config?

Anything t important about the serial number format in your config file?

Yours

I didn't experience any issues when I made the changes to my installation. I can't guarantee you won't since I've only tested once.

You also do not need to restart Homebridge between uninstall/install. Just remove the old plugin, keep your config the same, instead the new one, and restart Homebridge.

Nope, the they're automatically generated based on the name of the accessory.

thank you very much, everything works perfectly. Is it possible to integrate it in a new version in homebridge? Thank you very much for the job.
