The README section "Update package.json" should note the "name" should not be mixed case.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:
When I tried to "npm unpublish homebridge-bigAssFans-i6 --force" it failed silently. I contacted support the following day because the package was not unpublished. Per npm@githubsupport.com: "Please keep in mind that package names are case sensitive and mixed case names are not supported. That might be why your attempt to unpublish homebridge-bigAssFans-i6 failed."

Describe the solution you'd like:
In the README where it says the name should "contain no spaces or special characters apart from a dashes" perhaps it should say "contain no spaces or special characters apart from dashes, nor be mixed case" or some such. By the way "a dashes" looks like a typo.

Describe alternatives you've considered:
none

Additional context:
thank you
