Summary

These worked flawlessly for years but I recently changed to this KASA plugin for homebridge 2.0 support. Things have been great with one exception, I am having a strange issue that seems to happen at random. I have automations setup such as when Light A turns on turn on Light B and Light C. Occasionally after a few seconds when Light B and Light C have turned on as part of the routine, one or sometimes both will turn off for 5 seconds and back on. It's always 5 seconds, it effects multiple routines, and it always effects the devices triggered by the routine, never the primary device that started the routine.

I have set these devices up in smart things as well as home assistant and neither of those seem to have this issue. It's only when I use HomeKit to create the automation and trigger devices setup through the KASA-Python plugin. I do not expose smart things to HomeKit and Home Assistant was only set up for testing and is otherwise turned off.

Any help would be appreciated.

Details

Add devices to HomeKit, configure an automation, and run it. At random, one or all of the triggered devices will turn off 1 time for 5 seconds and then turn back on. This will only happen once and within the first 30 seconds of the automation being run.
