$3

Homebridge must be running in insecure mode to allow accessory control via this plugin. See Enabling Accessory Control for instructions.

$3

This plugin must only be configured on one Homebridge instance on your network as the plugin will discover all your other Homebridge instances and be able to control them. For this to work:

* all instances must be running in insecure mode
* all instances must have the same PIN defined in the config.json

Known Issues

1. Only one Homebridge instance can be linked to an account (even across different local networks). You will experience unintended results if you try and link more than one instance to the same account.

Troubleshooting

#### 1. Errors during installation

Make sure you installed the package with sudo flag. Most installation errors can be fixed by removing the plugin and reinstalling:

`shell

cleanup

sudo npm uninstall -g homebridge-gsh

reinstall

sudo npm install -g homebridge-gsh
``

#### 2. Cannot control accessories

See Enabling Accessory Control and Multiple Homebridge Instances.

#### 3. Ask on Discord

Join the Official Homebridge Discord community and ask in the #homebridge-gsh channel.
