This plugin generated a warning from the characteristic - illegal value: null!

Howdy. This plugin has been running great for months until now.

Node 16.13.0
HomeBridge 1.3.5
Plugin Version 3.7.2

I'm starting to see these in the logs:

I'm seeing this from every camera.

I’m seeing the same error, I’m in the northeast where is was in the 20’s last night and that’s the first time I saw this error. Went away once it warned up.. unfortunately I don’t think anyone is supporting this plugin anymore.

I'm in the northeast as well and I think you're right. Nobody is supporting this plugin anymore. Sadly because it's been working great for a long time now. If the temperature goes below 32, it throws the error.

I switched to using the Homebridge-ifttt plugin with ifttt. Working great, I just use it to arm / disarm. Thanks. Jack

I’m seeing this issue as well. It was cold last night so I assume the fare hits value was less than 32

The ifttt plugin unfortunately does not have enough functionality in it

I see a few problems in the code for this one, but might be an easy fix. It is explicitly setting Null if it can't get the temp which needs to change if Apple doesn't want nulls.. I'm not sure what best practice would be to represent this in that case. The other thing I think I see is a divide by 0 error if the temp happens to be exactly 32.
I'll take a look and see if I can submit a pull request
