Bug Report

Describe the Bug

A switch appeared in my favorites on the Home App after the last updates 9.3.1 and 9.3.2. I cannot remove it.

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
I have restarted homebridge many times. Also restarted the home app. It will not go away.

Expected behavior

Usually this switch was hidden. All of the commands to hide switches in the schema are still selected.

Screenshots/Logs

Additional context

I reverted to 9.3.0 and was able to remove the new switches from Favorites, but they are still showing up in the home app. I cannot remove them.

Yep, same weird switch here. I tried every "hide" configuration and nothing worked. Maybe in the future, new additions should be defaulted to hidden?

It’s a switch to control your Chime, which was introduced in 9.3.0. You can use the hideDeviceIds option if you don’t want to see it

[mikesalz]

@dgreif Thanks for responding. How/where can the device ID be found? I ran Homebridge in debug and only saw a single line for Ring:

[6/18/2020, 2:05:28 PM] [Ring] Configuring 1 cameras and 2 devices for location "Tampa" - locationId: xxxxxxx-xxxxx-x

I also tried using the serial number from the device properties in HomeKit, and that did not work. Suggestions?

[mikesalz]

Never mind. I found it in the log! I'm not sure why I didn't see it before.

[dgreif]

Glad you found the Id. Were you able to hide the chime switches?

[mikesalz]

@dgreif Yes, once I found the ID, I was able to hide the chime switches. Thanks for checking in. I really appreciate it!! While I have you, another quick question - Is there a config setting that would allow me to display the cached snapshot instead of the "Fetching new snapshot" message? My preference is to see something rather than text, but no biggie if that is not an option!

[dgreif]

I'm planning to overhaul snapshots soon. Should be able to do away with the placeholders

[mikesalz]

Great! Thanks again for your help!
