Question: Does homebridge API allow accessory to push state changes to Home hub?
I am trying to build a plugin where I have to update the state of accessory on the accessory (without controller input - like temperature or switch state). I want to notify the home hub of this updated state or that characteristic so that the home hub and the app UI changes. 
Based on [reading the documentation I tried using service.updateCharacteristic() ](https://developers.homebridge.io/#/api/service#serviceupdatecharacteristic)to accomplish this but the UI changes are not being published (at least it appears like this). I need to close the Home app or send it to background and then open it again to get the refreshed state of the accessory.

I would appreciate help with the API in order to resolve this. Thanks for the help. I wasn't able to find the right place to post this so I started here. Please let me know if there is a better place for this discussion.

Also FYI, github has introduced a new discussions section for such conversations. It might be great to enable it so that such conversations aren't cluttering the issues tab.
