2. Long-press the icon to open the icon and get to the page that looks like this:

3. Then press the "Details" button to get to the page that looks like this:

4. Then tap on the type indicated in the "Type" field and select the type you want!

Installation

I've deleted most of my "old" installation instructions that used to be here. Homebridge has updated their instructions and they are now more comprehensive than what I had. Just follow their instructions: https://www.npmjs.com/package/homebridge

And be sure to use config-ui-x. Its really great for setting up the plugin.

Configuring Devices

These instructions are now a bit out of date. You can follow them to set up the plugin, but there is now a settings interface in config-ui-x which makes it much easier.

FAQs

Why won't my device names change after I edit them in config.json
