"This plugin is taking long time to load"

[cwiemann]

Homebridge logs continually show a warning:

[@samthegeek/homebridge-frigidaire] This plugin is taking long time to load and preventing Homebridge from starting. See https://homebridge.io/w/JtMGR for more info.

[asp55]

Experiencing the same issue. Restarting homebridge sometimes resolves it.

Looking at my logs this has been happening since at least August 31, 2024

[asp55]

Running homebridge in Debug mode I can see some more info here

(That last line repeats every 20 seconds in perpetuity)

For me this all happened after homebridge restarted while my internet was out.

Looks like the module that handles communicating with the API fails hard if it can't authenticate within the first 12s of starting up. Which is why restarting homebridge resolves this (assuming you have an internet connection)

[asp55]

Getting a new version of this problem: Instead of auth just failing due to the internet being out, I'm now getting a 429 error.
