I am using this plugin inside the Homebridge Accessory Manager adapter in iobroker and can confirm that this (1.5.0-beta3) allows my L510 bulbs to be controlled again.

But this only works for "the rest of the day": next morning state changes do not change the physical lamp anymore. However, a restart of the Homebridge Accessory Manager fixes this and everything works again. So I guess there is some initialization code which needs to be run again once there is some sort of session expiry.

Edit: other Homebridge plugins I use within HAM do not require this restart, hence my assumption that this behavior is TAPO-specific.

Even worse: I believe that once this happens, the plugin goes wild until my Raspberry becomes unresponsive.
/var/log/syslog contains literally hundreds of these message per second:

And then the syslog content ends. That's the last entries, nothing else for hours until I force-rebooted it. (It did not even respond to ping.)

"Change" between equal states.

I can't tell whether this is caused by embedding inside iobroker or by the plugin itself, so I don't open an issue, but I wanted to let you know within this PR that something might be wrong.

Is there any new information when the update will be released?
