item not deleted after label is changed - creating duplicate #107

Closed IonasElate closed 2 years ago

After changing the Label in the json the old item still remains in the homekit app. it is not functional but it is there next to the new (working) item. multiple restarts did not solve this issue, only deactivating and reactivating the plugin does. but then the rooms are not persisted.

Hi @IonasElate ,

renaming items in the configuration is not recommended/supported (see the first paragraph in this section of the README ). This is due to the way homebridge creates and manages those items.

I'd recommend not changing the labels in the json config file, but rename the items directly in the Home App (select the item you want to rename, go down to the configuration/select the gear icon and use the text field this will sync within your home)
