Save the accessories to config file #55

Is it possible to save accessories list with it's names and assigned rooms and their types? Sometimes after rebooting the gateway (developer password looks as changed as well), all the accessories reset their names, so I have to reassign all that stuff. It is very complicated to guess what room is located one of four temperature sensor. I would like to write all the info into config. Please let me know how can I do?

i have similar issue. the workaround i found is to keep a log accessories name in text file. either when there is a homebridge crash or one of the accessory is offline, it triggers device name reset.

@astrojetson8 Can you explain the procedure?

for example C7e4 Entertainment 285c Iron 51a0 Fan

so when it crashes, i use my log file to match key and input the name instead of turning on/off to find out which one is which.
