Google devices drop out of Google App - iPhone. about node-red-contrib-smartnora

@Howie55 Are you using multiple node-red instances connected to the same account with the same "group name"?

Hi, I have three copies of NodeRed running. My main system with SmartNORA, a second one without and then I found my "play" NodeRed had a copy of SmartNora setup. I have now deleted all references. Appreciate your pointing me in the right direction. I will now monitor and see what happens. Interestingly (but not funny) was my wife got notified, on her mobile, that all devices had dropped off at 03:16 in the morning. Not happy. There was only one device remaining and that was the one in the "play" NodeRed. Howard.

Ok, just make sure you have a unique group name on each separate instance of node-red, otherwise the devices will get overridden.

If you have extra groups that you don't use anymore but still show in Google Home, you can go to https://smart-nora.eu/my-nora and delete them (details here: https://github.com/andrei-tatar/node-red-contrib-smartnora/tree/master/doc/faq#i-have-ghost-devices-in-my-google-home-application)
