Question: what determines the order of activitie?

[maisun]

Hi,
I’m trying to understanding how does the plug-in determine the order of activities? The order neither follows the configuration, nor the order in Harmony. It’s also not sorted alphabetically, hence the question…

sorry didn’t mean to create a bug.

order retrieved by the discovery. You can try to reorder in the file that is created on homebridge root directory (harmonyPluginNames_*) But not sure it will work.

There is a new option in latest version to better handle that.

Hi @nicoduj
Thanks for the new version, but looks like it doesn't work fully. Setting sortInput=1 works however setting sortInput=3 doesn't seem to work for me. Anything I should check in log to troubleshoot the issue? Thanks!

Hi, you can post your log at startup and config .

Hi @nicoduj, just want to let you know I tried to remove the accessory and add it again but still the sorting doesn't work for me. I have more activities in Harmony but I only want to include 5 in HomeKit, could that be the cause?

[nicoduj]

Hi, this should be fixed in 1.6.1 . Sorry for that.

Hi, this should be fixed in 1.6.1 . Sorry for that.

Thanks a lot! I can confirm 1.6.1 works flawlessly, very much appreciated!
