I have used this plugin for several months without any issues, but I started noticing these log messages after upgrading to the newest Apple OS's -- maybe this is the reason?

Plugin Config:

{
    "platforms": [
        {
            "name": "Gree ACs",
            "broadcastAddress": "192.168.0.255",
            "threeSpeedUnit": false,
            "coolingMinTemp": 18,
            "coolingMaxTemp": 27,
            "heatingMinTemp": 18,
            "heatingMaxTemp": 27,
            "defaultCurrentTemp": 22,
            "platform": "GreeACImplementationPlugin"
        }
    ]
}

Environment:

• Plugin Version: 1.2.1
• Homebridge Version: 1.5.0
• Node.js Version: 16.18.0
• NPM Version: 8.19.2
• Operating System: Raspberry Pi OS (Bullseye)

I use an Apple TV as my Home hub, and I noticed that today it updated to a newer version of tvOS. I suspect that the home API/spec changed and this is why all the errors started appearing

Hey, try to update the homebridge and restart all the services

Thanks! That appears to have fixed it
