ring Lighting Groups Not appearing in HomeKit

Hi,

I have HIDE lighting groups set to false, but my lighting groups are not appearing in homekit?

Can you share your config JSON for this plugin? (minus refresh token)

Sorry for the delay, I just tried out lighting groups on my end and they seem to be working just fine. When you reboot, there should be a list of Hidden accessory .... logs. Do you see any of your lighting groups in there? If so, please post the matching lines. If not, do you see a line that says Configuring cached accessory ... that matches each of your light groups?

See below... I don't see anything to do with the light groups? I changed sensitive data to XX

@adavison are you still experiencing this issue?

Aug 27 '22 14:08 dgreif

@dgreif thanks for asking, I'm not using lighting groups anymore, so don't know, I can create one and test it if you like?

Aug 27 '22 16:08 adavison007

Nah, that's fine. I think you were the only one to report an issue with them and mine appear to work fine.
