[Feature request]: Initialization flow

[fuatakgun]

Describe the solution you'd like

Cont. from https://github.com/bropat/eufy-security-ws/issues/150

I am having issues to receive captcha/verification (2fa) events from WS on container, assuming that before I can even reach to start listening state, WS on container had already tried logging in and received respective events.

So timeline perspective;

• t0: launch the docker container with login credentials
• t1: receive captcha or verification (2fa) but it would not be delivered any client as there is none yet
• t2: client connects and activate start listening
• t3: client does not know about current state regarding to captcha or verify (2fa) so it cannot react accordingly.

Suggestions;

• we can wait for the first client to initiate login flow, this might be an extreme change given the impact on all other consumers (not sure how many)
• we can create a new command to initiate login flow.

As soon as eufy-security-ws receives a captcha request, it is cached so that every client that connects and executes start listening also receives the event as long as no client has sent the captcha. Look here and here. What has not been implemented is whether a captcha has expired in the meantime (this information is not available and could only be implemented with a simple timer), but if the captcha request is answered incorrectly, you get another one right away ;)

we can create a new command to initiate login flow.

There is already a command to initiate a connection. See here.

I remember it was the case but yesterday i tried with 1.4.1 and i didn't receive captcha event. Even after trying driver.connect didn't receive respective events, let me double check and share the logs

This gets more problematic when user had enabled 2fa because they will get multiple emails (one delivered at docker startup and one after driver connect)

my findings;

• when captcha event is received, before forwarding the event to the client, it is trying to dump the state (https://github.com/bropat/eufy-security-ws/blob/0cef884d71a4fad9e61638d314fbfb5aa72d93e1/src/lib/server.ts#LL99C31-L99C31)
• but it waits for event stations loaded (https://github.com/bropat/eufy-security-client/blob/76772a2f49aae2b05f4c17eab5294831b2886c65/src/eufysecurity.ts#L291)
• this event will probably not arrive as it is stuck with captcha request

when I am running client against server, this is the response;

ts-node src/bin/client.ts 
{
  type: 'version',
  driverVersion: '2.5.1',
  serverVersion: '1.4.1',
  minSchemaVersion: 0,
  maxSchemaVersion: 17
}
{
  type: 'result',
  success: true,
  messageId: 'api-schema-id',
  result: {}
}

Is there any update to this? I think I have the same issue. When I start the integration, it says no entities found:

When I went to the Eufy add on, it says "schema incomplete":

It used to be working but have stopped working for few weeks now and can't seem to figure out why.
