Include/exclude lists about homebridge-genie-aladdin-connect

I've opened a PR with a patch for this.

Sorry, for the delay, I will get this resolved this week. I took a peek at the PR and ideally we could ignore the doors by id in the event that doors have the same name, alternatively, the include/exclude is by site name (assuming thats in the data retuned) as those are unlikely to be duplicate.

Does Aladdin Connect have the notion of “sites”? I don’t see anything like that in the app, but if it is a thing then yeah.

What I have been doing is uniquely naming the doors in AC and then renaming them to just “Garage Door” in HomeKit after excluding the ones that are in the “wrong” house.

v4.1.0 has a ignoreDevices fields where you can ignore by id.

Excellent! How does one get the ID for a particular door?

Is it, perchance, the "serial number" reported in HK?

[derek-miller]

It is, but instead of <mac>:index it is <mac>_<index>. However, the id is printed in the logs during startup as explained by the property description in the config UI. In my next update I will change the serial number property to be the actual id used by this ignore list.

Great! I can confirm it works!
