Roomba i7+ does not update state in the HomeBridge Accessories page.

[shiddy]

Current Behavior

The Roomba i7+ intermittently shows "Not Responding" when the "Auto Refresh Enabled" setting is confuigred within the config. Initially I had some success in activating the i7 from the Home app, however after it docked and emptied it's bin it never updated the state within the Home app nor the HomeBridge Accessories page regardless of how much time elapsed.

Restarting the HomeBridge server will correctly provide the state of the machines, but after any run of the machines the state remains as though the roomba is running.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Use the Configuration provided below and run the roomba and then stop the roomba via either the Homebridge Accessories page or the Home app.

Versions

Homebridge: v1.1.6 Node: v14.15.0 Plugin: v1.1.0

Do you have your CacheTTl defined?

@shiddy I had the same (or at least a very similar) problem. I am also using an i7+. I had assumed it was not specific to that model, but perhaps it was.

I'm testing the latest beta at the moment and will follow up here to let you know if it seems to have resolved things. If you want to give it a try, you can choose 🔧 > "Install Previous Version" and select the beta.

So far this appears to be fixed in 1.3.0-beta.6: https://github.com/karlvr/homebridge-roomba2/issues/75#issuecomment-926956051

@karlvr I think this issue can also be closed now that #75 is closed.
