+## Plugin Development
 
-Please see [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md).
+The https://developers.homebridge.io website contains the Homebridge API reference, available service and characteristic types, and plugin examples.
 
-# Troubleshooting
+The [Homebridge Plugin Template](https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-plugin-template) project provides a base you can use to create your own *platform* plugin.
 
-#### 1. Errors during installation
+There are many existing plugins you can study; you might start with the [Homebridge Example Plugins](https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-examples) or a plugin that already implements the device type you need.
+
+When writing your plugin, you'll want Homebridge to load it from your development directory instead of publishing it to `npm` each time. Run this command inside your plugin project folder so your global installation of Homebridge can discover it:

 Make sure you installed the package with `sudo` and used the  `--unsafe-perm` flag. Most installation errors can be fixed by removing the Homebridge UI and reinstalling:

-#### 2. Accessories tab missing
+### Home App Says Accessory Already Added
+
+To fix this, [Reset Homebridge](https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge/wiki/Connecting-Homebridge-To-HomeKit#how-to-reset-homebridge).
+
+### My iOS App Can't Find Homebridge
+
+Try the following:
+
+1. Swap between the `Bonjour HAP` and `Ciao` mDNS Advertiser options. See [the wiki](https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge/wiki/mDNS-Options) for more details.
+2. iOS DNS cache has gone stale or gotten misconfigured. To fix this, turn airplane mode on and back off to flush the DNS cache.

-If the Accessories tab is not shown then you are not running Homebridge in insecure mode. See the [Enabling Accessory Control](https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-config-ui-x/wiki/Enabling-Accessory-Control) wiki for details. If you have just enabled insecure mode make sure you have restarted Homebridge and refreshed the page in your browser.

-#### 3. Running in Docker
+</span>
 
-The Homebridge UI supports the [homebridge/homebridge](https://github.com/homebridge/docker-homebridge) Docker image. You must enable the UI using the method described in [the wiki](https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge-config-ui-x/wiki/Enabling-UI-with-Docker).
+HomeKit communities can also be found on both [Discord](https://discord.gg/RcV7fa8) and [Reddit](https://www.reddit.com/r/homekit).
 
-#### 4. Ask on Discord
+## Limitations
 
-Join the [Official Homebridge Discord](https://discord.gg/C87Pvq3) community and ask in the [#ui-general](https://discord.gg/C87Pvq3) or [#ui-issues](https://discord.gg/C87Pvq3) channel.
+* One bridge can only expose 150 accessories due to a HomeKit limit. You can however run your plugins as a [Child Bridge](https://github.com/homebridge/homebridge/wiki/Child-Bridges) or run [Multiple Homebridge Instances](https://github.com/oznu/homebridge-config-ui-x/wiki/Homebridge-Service-Command#multiple-instances) to get around this limitation.
+* Once an accessory has been added to the Home app, changing its name via Homebridge won't be automatically reflected in iOS. You must change it via the Home app as well.
