homebridge-tplink-smarthome: This plugin slows down Homebridge

Expected Behavior

Plugin should work well in Homebridge 1.3+

Current Behavior

Plugin is non-responsive when controlling some TP-Link devices (HS300 outlets in my case) This also manifests in the Home app, certain plugs shows as “No Response” (the ones that have devices plugged in)

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Homebridge 1.3+ started producing these warnings, but responsiveness was already an issue before.

Versions

Node: 10..21.0
Homebridge: 1.3.1
OS: Raspbian 10 on RPi 4 (32-bit)

Configuration

        {
            "name": "TplinkSmarthome",
            "platform": "TplinkSmarthome"
        }

Disabled optional characteristics this morning:

"addCustomCharacteristics": false

and early info is that it does make a difference - everything’s loading much faster now, will wait a bit to make sure this isn’t just a factor of the Homebridge reboot.

I’m no longer receiving the warnings with 6.3.0-beta.0, however these show up after the tp-link device (hs110) is added to homebridge
