Socket Closed without sending response

[decavent]

Hi, I’m getting an error when booting up Homebridge. Both are Eufy white/color bulbs. As Homebridge starts, I see the plugin “Add Accessory” and identify each bulb. However, it then generates and error “connecting to accessory: Error: Socket closed without sending response.” It then removes the accessory (bulb). Any thoughts? Tried reinstalling the plugin.

I believe it was a change to the Eufy API. See issues 2, 4, 5 & 6 at https://github.com/sebmos/node-eufy-api

I ended up dumping my bulbs and went with a bunch of Tuya stuff

Is this module dead for now? If so I think noting this on the readme page should be mentioned.

@dancocos I wouldn't call it dead, as it still works for some lights. I still hold out hope that Eufy will fix the bug in their firmware. But it's true that this API doesn't support their server-side API, which Eufy uses for remote control (and as a fallback for the same bug, which they're also affected by.)

Dear @sebmos
May I ask if there is indication of Eufy has made a mentioned fix or not?
Thank you.

@jgadzhiev - My response is a bit slow, as I had to start using the Eufy plugs again. It appears the bug isn't fixed, sadly. My bulbs worked for a bit, and then they stopped.

Still see the same problem.

@sebmos any solutions or alternatives?
