Tapo Plugin Restarting Homebridge

[parryg]

Describe The Bug

Randomly the Tapo plugin has started to reboot my home bridge so that it's unusable, the two lines in the log before reboot are below. It's strange as I haven't added the IP address for either of these devices to my config.

Expected behavior

Does not reboot.

Do you run the plugin as a child bridge? And since you added the os macos, do you run the plugin on your laptop?

[parryg]

It's not currently run as a child bridge, should I try that?

No, it's set up on my iMac.

Try with 1 light and see if it works

[parryg]

One light appears to have worked, so I can only assume it's one of the devices causing an issue. Based on the above though, it brings up contact sensors and a humidity sensor, which I didn't think were supported?

EDIT: It's now saying unavailable.

[RaresAil]

Could be the macbook, never used so many with a macbook, i have a Debian Server for this so i don;t know what could be the cause, i recommend using a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5

[parryg]

I've figured this out just now, it was the Tapo Hub causing the issues as Homebridge was trying to 'connect'? to devices that are attached to it such as the temp & humidity sensor and this was in turn causing the shut down.

Since removing the Hub IP, I've had no problems.

[RaresAil]

The hub uses a lot of bandwidth based on how many devices it has, i have only 2 and i don't have issues
