Characteristic Warnings and Random Shutdown of AP

[Dann1bo1]

Installed the forked plugin https://github.com/davidjbradshaw/homebridge-aeg-wellbeing a couple of days ago, everything ran fine for a several hours. My AEG AX5 is properly being displayed in HomeKit. Since Feb 8, I've been experiencing numerous issues. The airpurifier would not turn on at all through HomeKit, even Homebridge couldn't power it on. This issue seems to be remedied by restarting the child bridge. My current issue is comprised of turning the airpurifier on and sometimes it just randomly powers off for no apparent reason. The log just shows "Luftreiniger AirPurifier Active was set to: PowerOff". I'm also getting numerous characteristics warnings for invalid values for a certain characteristic repeating at the interval that is set as "polling time" in the plugin's settings.

I’ve also seen some issues last week where I think the remote server is hanging up the connection and the plugin fails to reconnect.

For the last week I’ve been testing a fix to force relogin when it fails and so far not seen the problem again, but maybe the remote has been better behaved.

Are you still having this issue?

[Dann1bo1]

The characteristics warnings still persist, yes.

I can also confirm the reconnection issues on my end. Have to restart the child-bridge on an almost daily basis, to log in to the service again. A force relogin directly in the plugin would be amazing!

@Dann1bo1 I have just published v1.1.0 of the AEG version. Hopefully that helps, as I have been running it for a week without issues.

I've also now enabled issue tracking on that project, so we should really continue the discussion over there.

OK now on v1.1.1 and catching a lot more remote server issues.
