Change serialNumber #119

Closed arkadicolson closed 2 years ago

arkadicolson commented 2 years ago

Hi

One short question. I changed the serialNumber after initial install but it doesn't change in the home app. Is this cached somewhere? Is there a way to change this somehow without deleting the device? I'm asking this because the controller app is reporting this conflict when making backups of the config.

Thanks!

Hi,

Homebridge would probably cache the serial number. I don't know off hand how to change it without deleting the accessory and then adding it back. I could look into it later, it's 4:23 AM at the moment.

Ttyl, John Talbot

@arkadicolson I would suggest have suggested to just delete the accessory from the homebridge cache from the UI settings; which sounds like what you want to avoid. Could be worth trying to removing serialNumber from your config, save and reboot; then add it back in, save and reboot. This might sort it out and is worth a go.

Hi,

I was right and so is Mitch. Unfortunately that is the only way; At this time. I say this is the only way now, because I have been working on Homebridge-UI. It is no way near production ready, but I did try it for the serialNumber and it allowed me to update it! So I will close this as the accepted answer for now is to remove and add it back. As well there is already an open ticket for the Homebridge-UI feature.

Take care, John Talbot
