By default, I can already see all my devices under http://<ip>/api/pi/lights. But I now want to restrict this to a single entity only. But if I use expose_by_default: false and list the entity, the url does not expose anything. What might be wrong?
emulated_hue:
listen_port: 80
expose_by_default: false
entities:
switch.dishwasher:
name: "My Dishwasher"
Explicit configured entities are hidden by default? Omg ok, I thought the hidden attribute would be the negation of expose_by_default, that would make much more sense…
I recently started building a new Home Assistant server. One of the first things it discovered is my real Philips Hue bridge and an emulated one (that I’ve created using node-red-contrib-amazon-echo). Both appear with identical names so it’s challenging to know which of the two is which.
One way to differentiate them is to shut down one (i.e. the one you wish to have ignored) and restart Home Assistant. Now only one will be discovered and you specify to ignore it from being discovered again
