Platform AccessoryInformation

[benzman81]

Is the AccessoryInformation for a platform changeable? I didnt find any code hints on how to do this. Currently only "Defautl-xxx" ist displayed.

same question...

[snowdd1]

Yes, example: https://github.com/snowdd1/homebridge-knx/blob/v0.3.10/lib/knxdevice.js#L73
You'll need this service for each accessory.

@benzman81 @snowdd1
Thanks for your support, I know how to config AccessoryInformation for a accessory in homebridge plugin, my question is how to config manufacturer/model/serialNumber for entire home(which mean config these info of bridge).
As read the source code in here, I found how to config,

Just add some field in config.json in .homebridge folder:
"bridge": {
"manufacturer": "Realank",
"model": "HomeV1",
"serialNumber": "001",
"name": "realank homee",
"username": "CC:22:3D:E3:CE:22",
"port": 51810,
"pin": "xxx-xx-xxx"
},

@Realank You want to change the information for the bridge itself?

As you can see here https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge/blob/v0.4.10/lib/server.js#L97 the bridge section of config.json supports the attributes

• manufacturer
• model
• serialNumber

However, that info will only show in Home app if you look at the details of the bridge itself - as the bridge has no user functionality, most user will put it somewhere hidden (I created a virtual room "system devices" for all things that have no user value for my family. So just curious, what are you going to do with it?

Edit: should have read your post more closely, you've already figured everything out!

[Realank]

@snowdd1 yeah, bridge has no user functionality, it represents home(or room) in our Home App. It's useless, I just don't want to see "Default -xxx" at the details of the bridge 😜
