In my use case the plugin creates six different homekit accessories (see log). To my understanding this is not correct. As far as i know the wall mounted tado smart thermostat technically controls the heating request for all radiator valves. It collects information about temperature in every room and sends a heating request to the boiler if neccessary. So from a point of software architecture this could be right - but this is not how the offical tado homekit integration works, it just creates four different accessories .

Furthermore I am not sure if the operation mode of my tados is displayed correctly. See my screenshot:

I will add a new option in the next version for excluding unnecessary types to fix this problem

seydx commented 6 years ago

v3.2.0 is up to restrict the plugin not to expose more accessory as needed, you can set following option into your config json:

"includeTypes":["VA01", "RU01"]

if nothing setted, both types will be exposed to HomeKit. If you want to expose only i.e. VA01, just remove "RU01" from the array

Pretty good work, sir. Tado developers should look for that.

So it works as intended? Then im closing this issue :)
