Homebridge-hue: Hiding "Philips hue" device

[jostrasser]

Hi,

Today I lost my HomeKit mapping because my homebridge crashes.

After reconfiguring Homebridge-hue I can see a new device in the "Standard Room"... It is called "Philips Hue" and was exposed by the plugin.

Any idea how I can hide it? If I take a look to it I can see the last heartbeat state...timestamp...

Config:

"name": "Homebridge-Hue",
"anyOn": true,
"excludeSensorTypes": [
"ZLLRelativeRotary",
"ZLLPresence",
"ZLLLightLevel",
"ZLLTemperature",
"ZHAHumidity",
"ZHAPressure",
"ZHAOpenClose",
"ZHAAlarm",
"ZHACarbonMonoxide",
"ZHAFire",
"ZHAVibration",
"ZHAWater",
"ZHAConsumption",
"ZHAPower",
"ZHAThermostat",
"Daylight",
"CLIPGenericFlag",
"CLIPGenericStatus",
"CLIPPresence",
"CLIPLightLevel",
"CLIPTemperature",
"CLIPHumidity",
"CLIPPressure",
"CLIPOpenClose",
"CLIPAlarm",
"CLIPCarbonMonoxide",
"CLIPFire",
"CLIPVibration",
"CLIPWater",
"CLIPConsumption",
"CLIPPower",
"Geofence",
"CLIP"
],
"forceCt": true,
"heartrate": 1,
"timeout": 3,
"hosts": [
"192.168.0.50"
],
"lights": true,
"nativeHomeKitLights": false,
"nativeHomeKitSensors": false,
"nupnp": true,
"resource": true,
"sensors": true,

Thanks!

From what I learned reading older issues on GitHub this second HUE hub seems to be required to realize additional features in 3rd party Homekit apps. Being a user of the defaule Apple Home app I would also appreciate if there was an option to add a line in the config file to hide this additional virtual hub in the Apple Home app..

I see something similar with my deCONZ gateway. I don't even really care that it's visible in the room it's assigned to. I would just prefer not to see it in my favorites in the Home app.
