4 years ago Getting this error recently and can't control the coffee make anymore by HomeKit.
The Request cannot be performed temporarily! due to local actuated user intervention [BSH.Common.Error.LockedByLocalControl] error is being returned by the Home Connect servers. It should only be generated for a few seconds after the appliance has been operated manually; see https://developer.home-connect.com/docs/api/status/localcontrolstate.
Presumably you have not just operated the appliance manually, so this looks like another problem with the Home Connect servers. I can control my own appliances via this plugin, so it doesn't appear to be affecting all appliances or clients.
The log snippet that you provided does not show what status the Home Connect API reported for the appliance. A debug (-D) log would have been most helpful because that would have shown the raw value reported for BSH.Common.Status.LocalControlActive. However, this can be inferred from an earlier section of the non-debug log. In particular, prior to the section you provided, there should have been a line beginning either Manual mode, Remote operation NOT enabled, or Remote operation enabled. If that line includes being operated locally then that means BSH.Common.Status.LocalControlActive was set to true, otherwise it was false.
After waiting 15 Minutes or so, control by HomeKit was possible again.
Perhaps CoffeeMaker appliances implement a longer delay than the "few seconds" that the API documentation states. Alternatively, this could be a bug in the Home Connect servers.
If you see this again, and have not been controlling the appliance manually, then I suggest you report it to Home Connect developer support... or if you provide a full debug log then I will do that.
Regardless, since this error is being returned by the Home Connect API, not by this plugin, there is nothing that I can do to fix it.

Coffee maker was turned on by HomeKit in the morning, some coffee manual on the machine, an espresso later by Siri and after that this error message.
HomeConnect Server connection is available regarding to the HomeConnect App. I can turn the coffee maker off by HomeConnect App. But not again on by HomeKit.
After waiting 15 Minutes or so, control by HomeKit was possible again. Is this all to a problem with the "unreliable" HomeConnect Server?
