fix: fix authentication failures
allow subsequent requests to use the same authentication instead of re-authenticating all the time
Control commands didn't work either with firmware 1.26
@mig8447, thanks for your PR and I am really sorry for not getting back to you sooner. I never got notifications from GH about the PR. Likely because you didn't add me as a reviewer :thinking: You should just have pinged me when I didn't respond.
I will take a look and get back to you soon. Hopefully within a week. I don't really use the plug myself anymore so it just takes a bit of time to ensure everything still works.
I am very sorry for taking so long to get on with this - I really appriciate the contribution
To anyone reading this in the future - I don't have access to my plugs anymore so I cannot ensure this PR will not break support for older plugs. If someone is able to pull this branch and test the changes I would be happy to merge this. Just ping me in the PR with the steps you have performed, the tested hardware version(s) and your results.
