Keylights occasionally become unresponsive about homebridge-keylights

Yes, this seems to be an issue with the Keylights and power cycling is the only workaround we know.

Somewhat amusing, I had the complete opposite experience: not responding with the Control Center (and even not showing up at all), but no issues with Homebridge.

What you can try: there was a firmware update some weeks ago, maybe that helps? Also, does the light still work in the Control Center app when it becomes unresponsive in Homebridge?

@derjayjay my Keylight is fully firmware updated so I think that's a non-issue. I'll validate the Control Center failure today - but I'm pretty sure I tried that last week and the Keylight was fully unresponsive. I suspect it's a Keylight issue itself, but also suspecting that the homebridge-keylights plugin exascerbates the issue as I wasn't having this problem before I set it up.

Will update the issue once I get a repro, should have something in ~24 hours if history holds up. Worst case I'll get a little wemo switch on it and schedule a 3am "powercycle the light" automation.

@derjayjay took 36 hours but keylight is zonked. It's not discoverable from Control Center in this scenario as well.

Ah, that's a bummer. You could try reduce the polling rate in plug-in configuration, maybe that helps.
