Startup error if variables not in config.json

So I'm back after a short hiatus, and it seems as if the readme was updated, and doesn't state that the previously required entries in config.json are necessary (trunk, trunk, charger, etc). Starting up homebridge without those entires results in a UUID error and homebridge shutting down.

TypeError: Cannot read property 'UUID' of undefined at Accessory.addService (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/node_modules/hap-nodejs/lib/Accessory.js:149:35) at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/lib/server.js:471:19 at Array.forEach () at Server._createAccessory (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/lib/server.js:451:14) at Server._loadAccessories (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/lib/server.js:309:26) at Server.run (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/lib/server.js:91:38) at module.exports (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge/lib/cli.js:59:10) at Object.

When adding them back in, I still cannot get remote start to work, it's not recognized as a command.

Thanks!

Are you sure you're running the latest version? There should be far less required in the config. Here's mine:

{
  "accessory": "Tesla",
  "name": "Model X",
  "vin": "5YJXCBE22GF006227",
  "username": "<email>",
  "password": "<pass>"
},

All the names of the various services are "implied" now and built off of the "name" from the config. This was the only reliable solution I could come up with.

Also that UUID error doesn't seem necessarily related to this plugin. Maybe try clearing the cache out by removing the Tesla plugin from your config, restarting Homebridge, ensuring it disappears from the Home app, then adding it back in?
