T8420 Floodlight: certain properties don't work properly

See original GitHub issue

I’m using the HomeBridge plugin (which uses this library) for a T8420 Floodlight Camera and I’m getting lots of errors like this:

handleEnableGet Wrong return value

I’ve looked at the plugin code and it seems it’s actually an issue with this library as the plugin is calling Camera.getPropertyValue(PropertyName.DeviceEnabled); which is throwing an exception that the plugin is catching. It’s throwing the exception as getPropertyValue() isn’t finding a property called enabled.

EDIT: Have been doing some digging around, although neither Node nor Javascript is my happy place 🙂 and, from what I can see, the T8420 doesn’t seem to support the ‘enabled’ (ID2001) or ‘motion detection’ (ID6040) properties.

I’m only basing this on looking at Device.metadata, Device.rawProperties and Device.properties so I may well be way off here! Is anyone able to confirm?
