Because the plugin defines the XBOX as a TV accessory type, you will now have TWO "TVS" in the same room if you already had a Homekit enabled TV before (example LG, Samsung with Homebridge, etc.)
The issue:
When using Siri in a context-aware situation where it knows the room you're in (using a Homepod in the same room for example), telling Siri to "turn on the TV" will now turn on your actual TV plus the XBOX.
You can no longer reference your actual television using the "TV" keyword.
Workaround:
An inelegant workaround is to put the XBOX device in a different room inside the Home app. You can then refer to your actual TV without affecting the XBOX and you can still reference the XBOX by name if it has a unique name, without specifying the room. The drawback is it won't appear in your Room view.
Other source to look at for possible code solution:
Homebridge Denon-TV offers support for AVR/Receivers and I believe it's using the TV accessory type to do it, however, whatever the developer has done, prevents the added device from conflicting with a real TV in the same room. The Denon device also comes up artwork that doesn't show a TV display - shows an AV Receiver.
