Hello Stefan,

to mix German Siri with English names is causing troubles to recognize the „order“ …

Is or will it be possible to setup the names via config.json, too ?

An example form the homebridge-knx plugin:

  {
        "platform" : "KNX",
        "name": "KNX",
        "knxd_ip": „10.x.x.x",
        "knxd_port": 6720,
        "knxd_do_not_read_set_groups": true,
        "accessories":
        [
            {
                "accessory_type": "knxdevice",
                "name": "Wohnküche",
                "services":
                [
                    {
                        "type": "Lightbulb",
                        "description": „Küche Pendelleuchte",
                        "name": "Küche",
                        "On": { "Set": "5/1/0", "Listen": ["5/1/4"] },
                        "Brightness": { "Set": "5/1/3", "Listen": ["5/1/5"] }
                    },
                    {
                        "type": "Lightbulb",

                    }
                ]
            }
        ]

Thank you in advance for your opinion / replay :-) !! Dariusz

Hi Dariusz,

this feature is already on the TODO list. (This is what is meant with I18n. Since I do not have that much spare time at the moment, it might take a while.

Meanwhile, you might be able to change the siri names. For example when using Elgato eve app:

• Choose settings tab at the bottom right (Einstellungen).
• In the section for your home, there should be a "Devices" ("Geräte") entry.
• When you select that entry you should see a list of devices under your homebridge.
• When selecting a device, on the next screen there is an option to change siri names (Siri Namen). Here you can change siri names for characteristics.

Have a nice day !
