Summary
Adds an intuitive "Hide from HomeKit" checkbox to the "My Devices" tab, allowing users to hide devices without manually editing config arrays.
Motivation
Currently, the
ignoreDeviceoption has two limitations:deviceUrl(local IP) configuredignoreDevice: trueThis makes it impossible to hide cloud-discovered devices with local control enabled, and the manual config editing is error-prone.
