Smart Light Group or Light Hiding Option?

[donavanbecker]

Is there anyway that you can put an option into this plugin so that you can make it so that the "Patio Group" Light doesn't show or is hidden? because then if we want to group our lights together we can with HomeKit.

I'd like this as well. Good idea.

The easiest path would probably be to just delete the group within HomeKit after it gets registered by homebridge. I don't think it will re-appear unless you clear your homebridge cache. Apparently you cannot remove individual devices if they are added from a bridge 😞

I'm happy to add a config option. Are you thinking something as simple as hideLightGroups: true, or more complex like hideDeviceZids: ['123abc', '456def']?

@dgreif I would like the individual devices to be seen, but not the group. If that’s possible. If you want me to test each one of those and let you know, I can do that.

Released v2.1.0 with a hideLightGroups: true option. Should automatically remove those group lights/sensors from HomeKit, so no need to clear homebridge cache.

Thank you so much for doing this!
