I receive an error in my log, associated with the ewelink plugin, the error says that it Failed to save cached accessories to disk: Cannot serialize accessory 'GatewayRF' - missing associated plugin
it also says that it will the accessories will not persist between restarts until this issue is resolved.
Note that the 4 remotes emulated in the RF gateway are presented and showing up in homebridge, and are working. I am not sure why the RF gateway itself would need to be added as an accessory, this may be a new behaviour since homebridge 2?
Details of your setup.
Homebridge v2.0.2 on raspberry pi 5
Homebridge UI v5.23.0
Node.js v24.16.0
