Homebridge: Accessories not gone after uninstall?

Created on 5 Feb 2017  Β·  4Comments  Β·  Source: homebridge/homebridge

Hi, after deinstalling an plugin homebridge-gpio-wpi2 i got some strange going on startup. I also can still add them in the HOME .app.

Failed to find plugin. But why is he searching for this stuff? Do i have to delete there something manually?

So how do we remove them anyhow?
EDIT: stopping homebridge and then deleting the "cachedAccessories" file in the "../accessories" folder, then starting homebridge updates this

Im new to this as well, but what about the config.json?

Those plugins might be "dynamic platforms" using API2.0.
Of those platforms all accessory data is changed in homebridge, the plugins have to actively remove their accessories from homebridge. If you just remove the plugins you will have "orphaned" entries in the .homebridge/accessories/ database.

Sorry autocorrect hit me:
Not changed but cached.
