Labels not showing correctly in iOS HomeKit

Open steffmatj opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

Hi!

thanks for the work on the plug-in!! I have an issue with the labels not showing in iOS Homekit IMG_0013

Another plug-in found a solution to fix it.

They wrote the following in the release notes in the update that fixed it:

„Added Configured Name characteristic to the Switch, Stateless Programmable Switch, and Lightbulb services. This appears to be necessary for HomeKit on iOS 16 to show anything other than the accessory name without manually changing all of the names within the Home app.“

maybe you can look into it again and also try to fix it! Thank you!!

the plug-in is the following https://github.com/thoukydides/homebridge-homeconnect

best Steff

Hi.

ConfiguredName Characteristic is already added for custom switches. https://github.com/tavicu/homebridge-samsung-tizen/blob/master/lib/services/switch.js#L23

There is no problem on my device. The names are shown correctly.

Did you setup the name attribute for switches?

Hi, sorry for the late feedback! What do you mean by name attribute? I set a name for the TV in the plug-in config. Else I did not do any thing.

Thanks again for the great plug-in! I enjoy it every day!!

Hei.

Each switch should have a name set like here: https://tavicu.github.io/homebridge-samsung-tizen/features/switches.html#settings

Hi, thanks for the clarification! I have not setup any switches myself I have just the standard ones that are enabled by the plugin itself...I can I replace those or are the switches that I create are added to those two?
