more than one homebridge instance not starting about ring HOT 7 CLOSED

@divemasterjm give v3.2.1 a try. Should just see a log that says there is no config, with no error taking down the homebridge instance.

That's really odd. Looks like homebridge will call the platformConstructor with null config if it finds the plugin but it isn't configured (https://github.com/nfarina/homebridge/blob/84b4733ac75aba9e7c19d36be282cd8162077860/lib/server.js#L358). Had no idea it could do that. I'll add a check to make sure there is a config and just return out if there isn't.

That seems like an odd setup. Just curious, what lead you to need 4 homebridge instances?

hi, others plugins works flawesly, i have 4 instances for various reasons, more than 100 accesories and specially cameras, if they have a problem homebridge becomes in "not responding state".
