New Features
- Plugins: Added support for configuring the new Homebridge Google Smart Home Plugin. This plugin allows you to control supported Homebridge accessories from any Google Home Smart Speaker, Google Assistant, or the Google Home mobile app on iOS and Android
- Accessory Control: Multi-instance support. You can now control accessories from multiple Homebridge instances.
- All instances you want to control must have the same PIN, be on the same network, and running in insecure mode
- Your other instances are automatically discovered, however you can blacklist instances you don't want to control using the plugin settings
- Due to the changes required to identify accessories across multiple instances your room/accessory layout will be reset after upgrading
- System: Added a new feature to help setup and run Homebridge and Homebridge Config UI X as a service on Windows 10
