The error you are receiving is due to the fact that the plugin isn’t receiving a response from ewelink when you send an update to the device. This is why I asked if you used the same ewelink account for your phone and for the plugin.

The ‘responses’ from ewelink are far more reliable when any device has been linked to an account and this account is used for the plugin too (ie no sharing of devices at all).

Issue https://github.com/bwp91/homebridge-ewelink/issues/234 (same error) was resolved by the person using their main ewelink account.

But in your case if there is definitely no sharing going on then I will need to think of a workaround.

Do you get this error every time you try to control the device? Or just sometimes? And when you control the device, does the physical device update even if you receive this error?

I checked again the if it’s the same acoount. My fault I had different account on my phone and the plugin. I changed now to the same account.

I tried the v6.1.2 and now it’s working. So you’re right it was my fault 🤦🏻‍♂️

thank you 🙏🏻
