State not updating on plugs, switch randomly erroring

[genebean]

Expected Behavior

With solid network connectivity and unchanged IP addresses, I expect that state should be reported correctly and there should not be TCP timeouts.

Current Behavior

I have a couple of HS105 plugs (firmware version 1.5.6) that seldom have the correct state reported. Toggling them on or off via Homebridge also seems very hit or miss. Additionally, I am regularly seeing the errors below on a HS210 switch (firmware 1.5.8):

[19/12/2020, 08:57:10] [TplinkSmarthome] Error: TCP Timeout after 15000ms

Both devices work just fine at all times in the Kasa app.

Configuration

        {
            "name": "TplinkSmarthome",
            "addCustomCharacteristics": true,
            "broadcast": "192.168.16.255",

        }

Relevant for my config as all TP Link devices are on the 192.168.16.0/24 network:

pi@homebridge:/var/lib/homebridge $ ip route
default via 192.168.15.1 dev eth0 
192.168.15.0/24 dev eth0 proto kernel scope link src 192.168.15.11

I recently updated homebridge and homebridge-tplink-smarthome plugin. I am facing the same issue. I have some HS103 and HS200 devices.

I have the issue as well. It appears to cause the entire homebridge system to become unresponsive for me.
