Dummy Accessories Verifiedhomebridge-dummy | Works | Widely loved for shortcuts/geofencing; one user got 'not reachable' errors though switch triggersSaved copyHere is an approach I have used. It's a little bit of a more tedious path, but it won't reset your automations. Assuming you have a switch called "My Action Switch": 1. Rename "My Action Switch" to "My Action Switch 0" 2. Create a new switch called "My Action Switch" 3. Update any automations using "My Action Switch 0" to use "My Action Switch" 4. Delete "My Action Switch 0" Due to updates to the new Homebridge Dummy where the accessory ID is no longer using the accessory name, now you can safely rename accessories without breaking automations. The names should migrate over to HomeKit too. … Excerpt saved from Arctic Shift Reddit archive on 2026-10-22. | Local | Reddit thread · 2026-01 |

Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
