addresses #203
# This is a breaking change for all configured homekit databases, as it
will remove room/area assignments and other things configured in iOS
apps
... unless your accessory type was called `Object` before
Changes:
- Without any changes to the configuration file all accessories UUIDs
will be generated by `uuid.generate(accessoryType + ":"` instead of the
constructor name which turned out to be unreliable in that context. So
about all UUIDs will change.
- new parameter uuid_base can be used for accessories in config.json to
use a different base for UUID generation than the displayName, which
might not be unique
- platforms can add the same property to their accessories before
returned, just as they have a name property right now.
It seemed to be easier all around to use NPM to manage the dependancy on HAP-NodeJS.
This PR removes the submodule, and adjusts the paths of all checked in shims to reference the NPM module instead.
I also updated the documentation to reflect the simpler install ;)
This adds an additional loop to fetch devices by platform. This saves
time and effort in that it returns all the devices a platform can ‘see’
on for your Home Automation, rather than making you define each one
individually.
