Reduce count of devices in Alexa? #13

Closed mschindl closed 10 months ago

Hi, at first, great plugin! Thank you.

Is it possible to reduce the device count in Alexa? Feature deactivation didn't help there.

I want to use only the heater/climate feature.

"Hide Device" in /accessories is the solution.

Still not solved with this function :/

For security reasons I disabled following options, but it still works with homekit&Alexa

"unlockSupported": false,
"lockSupported": false,

Any idea?

Hi @mschindl, sorry for the slow reply.

I agree; having the option to disable and hide each and every accessory is a good idea.

I will look into why the devices are not being disabled, even though they are disabled in the config file.

I will see if I am able to allocate some time later this week to implement this.

I will also look into extending the device registration. Perhaps performing the registration based on enumeration of a list in the configuration file with a unique identifier for every device.

Hallo. One ide to also reduce the amount of items can be to have a option to show all windows as one and all doors as one.

I really like the idea of be able to get a notification when we have forgoten to close a window, but don't really care what window.

@trympet Did you have the time to check why the feature to disable devices/function don't work?
