Hi @ubreu

A couple of things:

1. Please in the future create a GitHub release each time you publish a new version of the plugin. This is so that the release notes are displayed in the Homebridge UI when a user updates the plugin.

2. I would recommend a name property in the configuration so that users can change how the plugin name appears in the log. They may want to change `` to something like iBricks. Something like

   "properties": {
      "name": {
        "title": "Name",
        "type": "string",
        "default": "@ubreu/homebridge-ibricks"
      },
      "ibricksServerUrl": {
        "title": "Server URL",
        "type": "string",
        "required": true,
        "format": "hostname", <<--- also added this from https://developers.homebridge.io/#/config-schema#format
        "default": "http://127.0.0.1"
      }
    }

   This means they can change the blue/green part:

   

This second item is not needed for verification but is just a nice thing to have!
