Describe The Bug: I have a Tapo C210 camera. This error is in homebridge logs. But the camera is working in homekit. Motion Detection working. Alarm and Eyes not working (No Response)

Logs:

Never mind. Working all as expected after firmware update in camera

[kopiro]

It should be fixed for older firmware also in https://github.com/kopiro/homebridge-tapo-camera/releases/tag/v2.3.2

I'm using tapo c320ws with latest firmware but can not get it working with latest verison.

Unfortunately I cannot get it to work as well. C320WS, latest firmware and plugin version installed, and the child bridge is on an infinite loop of restarts with the following error messages:

Anything I am doing wrong? I know this bug is closed as #91 is on the same topic, but I wouldn't want to create a new one and create unnecessary noice.

Thanks!

Correction: 1 camera has a new firmware (1.1.6), while the other one is still waiting for TAPO to push it and is stuck on 1.0.1...
