Smartmi Standing Fan 2s Appears in HomeKit but cannot control

[NateUT99]

Hoping you can help here... I've had this device in and working for some time now, but I noticed that somewhere along the way it has stopped working. The device gets published in HomeKit, but attempting to make any changes will result in a "No Response" message. The device is controllable via the Mi Home app, so I know basic connectivity is there. Based on the log, it does appear that it successfully connects to MiCloud and "finds" the device, but I did notice that it appears to login every minute (don't recall seeing that message in logs so frequently before).

You probably also have nodejs v18.x.x installed which currently causes some issues. You either have to wait till i provide a fix or you can downgrade to nodejs v16.x.x for now.

[NateUT99]

Yep, you're right... I think another plugin complained about it and so I upgraded. I don't recall saying it required it, so I'll downgrade to v16.18.1 and wait a bit.

Downgrade in process now, I'll close issue if this resolves problem. Thanks! :)

[NateUT99]

Confirmed; fixed by downgrading to nodejs v16.18.1.

Thanks again!

As of version 1.4.3, the plugin should now work with the recent nodejs version without any issues again
