I am trying to use node-red-contrib-eufy-security Version 0.1.1 to detect "Someone has press doorbell" and "Someone has been spotted" from my Eufy front door camera. Everything worked as expected. A few seconds after restarting the flow I get a "connect" event, followed a few seconds later by a "push connect" event. If I stand in front of the camera within about 30 seconds I get a "Front: Someone has been spotted" event. I can also get a "Someone has press doorbell" event, but only if I press the doorbell within about 30 seconds of starting the flow.
Any time after the flow is started I can trigger a response "true" from a command "is push connected". This does not re-activate node-red-contrib-eufy-security which continued to ignore Eufy events.
Outside Node-Red I get the expected responses from the Eufy app on my phone.
Once and once only I have received a single "Someone has been spotted" event several days after the flow was started, I have no idea what triggered this.
I have tried using both my primary Eufy account and second one that I have shared my house with, both accounts behave the same.
Does anybody have any suggestions, thanks.

The README for the node was updated 7 months ago to say it is unmaintained.

So you may not have much luck if something has changed with the service.
