Hi @tasict

I just installed the plugin but have not yet configured it. When I restart Homebridge I get this in the logs (although it does not seem to affect my homebridge).

I noticed that the installation took a long time and seems to download a load of extra stuff (which is not necessarily an issue by itself).

I assume all this is from the aws-iot-device-sdk-v2 dependency.

In my Govee plugin I use aws-iot-device-sdk and tried the -v2 but reverted back due to all the extra stuff that happened during installation. Do you need to use the v2 with your plugin or would it be possible/easy to change to using the original aws-iot-device-sdk?

[tasict]

Because my plugins are newly written, I'm not very familiar with the aws-iot-device-sdk. I simply used it because Hitachi employs AWS's IoT service. During implementation, I found that there are two versions available. The official recommendation on the website is to use the newer v2 version. I also have concerns that the v1 version may be discontinued in the near future, so I initially chose the v2 version.
