Eufy Smart Switch Error

[jbibi-home]

I have been using this plugin for months with no issue. Within the last couple of days I realized that this Homebridge plugin was not finding my smart switches. Here is the log with the issue

I got this error in the logs as well: BridgeWARNING: There is a firmware bug your device that means that it will disconnect! There is no known workaround for this.

The warning gives the problem away - there's a bug in the Eufy plugs that means that some devices don't work (or stop working after a while). There's not much I can do about this, unfortunately - I'm not aware of anybody else solving that problem, either.

Confirming doing a device hard reset and re-add of device to your eufy account still a viable (though painful) workaround to recover the Homebridge operation of eufy's wall switch.
