Possibly same issue as #591.

I think this is Wi-Fi Connectivity related. Recently did some works in garage where the Wi-Fi extender is located and the Tapo was not connecting to the Garage AP. Have blocked it Deco and unblocked and it's now connecting to that Garage Deco, so will monitor it. Checking signal level on an adjacent P110 and both are now showing -19 dBm (as opposed to the -70 of before). Perhaps we should add some exception handling suggesting to check network connectivity if it disconnects in that circumstance.

I'm also seeing a lot of these errors, be good if we could get some more logging around it

[codyc1515]

Did you check your devices wi-fi signal?

[delatt]

Yeah, all very strong.

I believe it started when I got the L610s, they have been very spotty with being picked up and responding

[codyc1515]

Please share a screenshot of your wi-fi signal from the Devices and services area.

You might be onto something there, the signal is all over the place - sometimes dropping past -80 dBm. I'll tweak some AP settings and keep an eye on things
