Power strip accessory

[RaffoNin]

Hi I'm wondering if this is possible. Read through the documentation and i can't seem to find anything.

Also aware that you can link switches together but i like the look of the power strip more my use case.

I believe you need to use the parent of "service label namespace" then add multiple on/off switches. Let me research with someone I know is doing this... I'll check back soon.

I'm really curious, where did you get this screenshot? I really like the circular type buttons and the power strip icon! I've never seen that before.

[crxporter]

Ok - this is cool. I got it working. I've never seen the "power strip" icon before!!

What I've done is put together a parent service with type ServiceLabel then linked 6 Outlet services. Now I get a similar setup to yours:

A bit of fine-tuning might be to "organize" the outlets with ServiceLabelIndex - as described in this wiki page... I haven't tested that.

Anyway, here's a copy of the flow I used to get the screenshot here:

Thank you I'll give it a shot. It's a via plug-in in Homebridge called MQTT power strip.

[RaffoNin]

Maybe this can be added in the documentation as a separate accessory or as an extension of the outlet accessory

I agree. Outlet should be a good place for it. I won't be writing anything this week but if you'd like to learn/test a bit and make a contribution to the docs we would sure appreciate it!

I'm leaving this open as a reminder to add this to the wiki.
