Timeouts

[toml0006]

I have an HS300 configured and it has been running without issue for 2 years; in the last few days, I am no longer able to control the switches and see the below errors in the logs. The switch is connected to the network on a fixed IP address and fully responsive in the Kasa app. Any ideas?

This issue has been happening for me for several months now. I have researched the issue as well and seems to be an issue for several years per some other post. I have watched the Kasa app and have watched the led strip lights I have randomly go online and offline for no reason. My thought at this point, is that the devices themselves need to have an update to address the behavior of the wi-fi antennas in these devices. Just my opinion. Deleting the TP Link plugin from Homebridge does not fix the issue. If you are using Homebridge for HomeKit, deleting the bridge fixes the issue for a few days, then returns. At this point, I am not for sure what the solution is. Once the Led Lights that I have go bad, I will probably replace then with another brand that works better on Homebridge or raspberry pie.
