Upgrade Information

Notes on upgrading from node-red-contrib-homekit (non bridged):

From Oliver Rahner:

Unfortunately, I had to introduce a new node type homekit-bridge and remove the old homekit-accessory. This means you either have to start over with a new flow or edit it manually. Thankfully, Fredrik Furtenbach published a command line script to aid in the conversion.

If you go for the manual way:

1. Export your flows.
2. Delete all flows.
3. Remove node-red-contrib-homekit.
4. Install node-red-contrib-homekit-bridged.
5. Open the exported flow in a text editor and remove the nodes of type homekit-accessory.
6. Remove the parameter accessory on all of your homekit-services and save the file.
7. Import the edited flow.
8. Add a new bridge and change all your services to use it.
