Ignoring Devices

Ignoring Devices

This plugin provides the ability to ignore certain devices from appearing in your setup. This is useful if you want to utilize some of the plugins functionality without cluttering up your HomeKit dashboard.

(Recommended) Homebridge UI X

This plugin is compatible with Homebridge UI X's config schemas, giving users an easy way to modify plugin settings. Most modern installations of Homebridge come with UI X. If you need more information, check here for details.

1. Start by opening UI X in your web browser and clicking on "Plugins".
2. Find your Homebridge Node Alarm Dot Com plugin and click on "Settings".
3. At the bottom of the settings window, you will see a section for "Ignored Devices". Enter the ID of the device you would like to ignore here. Each entry in the list should have a single ID.

• You can add more ignored devices by clicking "ADD IGNORED DEVICE", and you can remove an ignored device from the list by clicking on the X in the top right of an entry.

4. Click "Save" and restart Homebridge to make sure your new config takes effect.

Editing the config manually

You can also add these IDs to your config.json manually. If you are going this route, we're going to assume you already know how to find and open your config.json yourself.

1. Open your config.json for editing. Find the object for this plugin's config.
2. Add your ignored ID's to the ignoredDevices object. This should be an array of strings. A correct config will look like this:

"ignoredDevices": [
  "12345-6",
  "12345-7"
],

3. Save your config and restart Homebridge for changes to take effect.
