Scene brought in as a accessory doesn’t show correct status #30

Open flmmkr1 opened 4 years ago

I brought a scene in from the ISY as an accessory, meaning I allowed the scene to be imported into HomeKit and it shows as an accessory. The scene is 3 switches that I always want to turn on and off together. The scene is programmed in ISY to turn on and off at certain times automatically. When the ISY runs the program and turns the scene on the corresponding accessory (scene) in HomeKit doesn’t show the correct status, meaning the lights are in, but HomeKit shows the scene/accessory as off. This functionality worked in the previous version of the plugin.

I did find a solution for this, which is to not use the scenes from the ISY. Instead the accessories could be placed in a group and all controlled together. There is one issue with this method in that the separate accessories no longer show in HomeKit. You have to ungroup them to be able to control one accessories separately, or go to the group settings, select the number of accessories, and then it lets you access the separate accessories. Kind of annoying. So it would still be great if there was a way to get this functionality to work correctly through Homebridge and the ISY like it used to.
