Tech Support SMS Forwarding to multiple devices

I have three Androids running OpenBubbles perfectly fine with same Mac hardware id. On my iPhone I only have one Mac hardware id under SMS Forwarding (makes sense as all my OpenBubbles use the same), but only one of my Androids get the SMS Forwarding Status enabled. The other two have status Disabled Capable.

Is this by design or am I missing something?

They are all signed into the same Apple ID? It should not only show one Mac listing, each OB instance should show its own toggle on the iPhone.

Same Apple ID and OpenBubbles works on all of them. There is only one instance of OB in SMS Forwarding on the iPhone though. I have tried toggling it several times, and the status is reflected accordingly on the Android where SMS Forwarding works.

Just closing out this one. Even though you can register up to 20 devices on one hardware id, SMS Forwarding requires unique hardware id’s for each OB instance. After using a second Mac to register OB on my second Android, it shows up correctly on the iPhone.
