homebridge-tplink-smarthome: This plugin generated a warning from the characteristic 'Color Temperature': characteristic was supplied illegal value: number 0 exceeded minimum of 112

Everything still works as it should, however after updating to HomeBridge v1.3, my logs are full of characteristic warnings and a new one comes up approx every 10 seconds - see below

Versions

Node Version: v14.15.5 HomeBridge Version v1.3.0 OS: Raspbian

            "platform": "TplinkSmarthome",

I am having this same issue.

I’m seeing a similar behaviour with a HS110 Smart Wi-Fi Plug with Energy Monitoring. Starting with HomeBridge 1.3.1 (I skipped 1.3.0) I got the following message at startup: [2021-2-23 16:00:54] [homebridge-tplink-smarthome] This plugin generated a warning from the characteristic 'Apparent Power': characteristic was expected valid number and received NaN. See https://git.io/JtMGR for more info.
