Command after variable height update not working anymore

[Pob4acke]

Describe The Bug: On restart of Homebridge Idasen-controller is not working anymore. Even so the values for base-height and movement-range are entered in the web interface of Homebridge, the log shows, that they are undefined. (I will not try to check for movement, as I'm not home atm) Linak-controller is updated to latest version.

To Reproduce: On every restart restart of Homebridge.

Hey again :) Thanks for your report! Can you add the plugin version you're using?

Another thing to note is that because these properties were added with an update, your homebridge probably still has them cached without these properties. You could try to remove them from the cache (config ui -> homebridge settings -> scroll down and select remove device from cache -> delete the desk). But please be aware that this will likely remove the device from your HomeKit scenes as well.

I'll look for a better way to handle the cached devices :)

The above still stands but this should be fixed in v1.1.1 Please report back if you still face these issues :)

I was already using 1.1.0 from your plugin and Idasen-controller 1.0.8.

But works like a charm now! I guess what your fix now does is to reinitiate the accessories on every restart of Homebridge. So even without deleting the desk, everything seems to work now. Thanks!

I don't want to take the credit for it though. It was literally commenting in 2 lines that the example plugin had written as a comment haha
