custom ui path not recognised

Describe The Bug

Hi!

I’m working with the homebridge-eufy-security team and have recently redesigned the custom ui screen which utilises plugin-ui-utils. As mentioned here it should be possible to set a custom path to the ui through config.schema.json but for me this setting is ignored. It always falls back to the default ./homebridge-ui/public/index.html I looked briefly at the source and found that this setting is read in this repo rather then plugin-ui-utils, so I’ve opened an issue here.

An example branch can be found here

Let me know if the issue lies somewhere else.

Probably, but you’re looking at less than 2% of total Homebridge users who run on Windows natively.

Fixed in 4.49.1-test.1

I forgot to mention this yesterday. You should probably move the Angular and other UI dependencies to devDependencies, as once the bundle is created you don’t need these at run time, and making your users install all these packages alongside your plugin will just slow things down.

Yeah you’re likely right. I just used the default dependencies generated by ng new when creating a new angular app. But will look into it and move the dependencies not needed. Thx!
