Filter out duplicate UUIDs when restoring cache

[GRClark]

Hoping someone can help me with errors I’m getting after updating Homebridge this morning. Worked fine beforehand but now I can’t even get Homebridge running - UI X comes up fine.

[3/4/2021, 11:59:13 AM] Error: Cannot add a bridged Accessory with the same UUID as another bridged Accessory: a67be37e-2900-43f3-97bd-cf9dee2bc67e

Delete the cachedAccessories file. It's in the "accessories" folder of your homebridge storage directory.

Thanks for the help that solved the issue.

We should check for duplicate UUIDs when restoring and handle it gracefully.

Homebridge 1.3.3 will gracefully handle and resolve this error itself.
