Hi! First of all, many thanks for this plugin. I tried https://github.com/jshank/bwalink with bwa installed on my raspberry and nothing worked. Im using 24$ Elfin-EW11A-0 in 115200,8N1 settings and with your plugin Im able to control my spa. But plugin produce lots of fault messages. Do you have any idea what can I do? Maybe I need to do more setup on elfin but dont know exactly what to change. Any idea? Many thanks again!!! Its working almost out of the box!!! Im attaching homebridge log and elfin settings. homebridge.log-4.txt

Each row is one report from a plugin’s GitHub issues, pull requests, discussions, wiki or docs, or from r/homebridge. Check the date and the linked thread before you buy.

In ReReHome

Once a Homebridge plugin publishes it, this device reaches Apple Home as a HomeKit accessory behind your Homebridge bridge, so ReReHome shows and controls it like any other.
