More Information
This plugin is an alternative to the homebridge-connectlife-ac plugin (https://github.com/ghosty2004/homebridge-connectlife-ac
), which currently has several issues.
First, its connection to the ConnectLife API is broken. Additionally, the plugin’s internal implementation is flawed: it performs blocking operations on every get and set call, making it very slow and causing it to block the rest of Homebridge. Some features are also non-functional or unreliable.
This new plugin addresses these problems by using a fully asynchronous design, with polling to keep the device state in sync, resulting in better performance, reliability, and overall stability.
