Cannot add a bridged Accessory with same UUID as another bidged Accessory using config-sample.json

See original GitHub issue

Getting this error on first startup (npm run) after:

  • cloning repo
  • copying config-sample.json to config.json
  • cleaning config.json of any accessories with non-json comments

Error happens when initalizing [Kitchen Lamp] HTTP Accesory?

This issue happens if you have more than one Harmony remote in your house. In that scenario, it’s quite usual to have two Activities called “Watch TV”, but of course they refer to different rooms of your house.

I am hitting this as well. IMHO naming each device uniquely is a bad move. Each might be named uniquely within a room, but unique globally? I have 100 devices and a lot of overlap on names, after all, a fan is a fan, it might be in the family room or in the master, but why cant I simply call it “fan”?
