adding support for whitelisting homes

[JulianLepinski]

Hey @0x5e — I've just created a quick PR which adds support for whitelisting a single home based on the home's ID number. If the options.homeWhitelist key is unconfigured it includes all homes and devices as previously, but if configured it ignores all but the whitelisted home.

I've also added it to the config.schema.json so it's configurable through the settings dialog in homebridge-config-ui-x. Hopefully this is useful to you! If there are any changes you'd like me to make, please let me know. 🙂

Hi @JulianLepinski thanks for the PR! I was planing to do this feature in 1.7.0.
The code is good, however there's one thing I'm not sure, should we support filtering multiple homes? It can brings the max compatibility if anyone needs. That do you think about it?

[JulianLepinski]

Hey @0x5e — yeah, I had the same thought. I'd considered allowing the whitelist to be an array, but I'm not very familiar with the config.schema.json functionality and it wasn't immediately obvious to me how to do that. I do think you're right that it would make the system more flexible, so it's probably worthwhile.

Let me take a look at how that could be implemented.

Here's some documents about homebridge config schema, and online form validation playground,

Okay, I believe I've converted this over now to use an array of whitelisted homes IDs instead of a single whitelisted ID. Let me know how it looks.

It works on me, I've add the conditions when project type is 2. Thanks @JulianLepinski again!
