Within the Node-RED GUI, I'm getting a message in my debug window.

It is intermittent.

I'm pretty new to Node-RED.  
I can't seem to use the Catch node to catch it.  
I'm not able to use the Status node to do anything with it.

1. Is there a way to prevent this from going to the debug window?
2. Do you have any recommendations on how to troubleshoot the source of the problem?

FYI, separately, I posted a question about which KASA nodes I should be using in case there's a better choice out there: [Recommendation for TP-Link Kasa Smart Wi-Fi Devices](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/recommendation-for-tp-link-kasa-smart-wi-fi-devices/68676)
