First-time setup

1. Meet the requirements and prepare a dedicated account.
2. Install the plugin and open its custom UI in Homebridge.
3. Enter the account, password, country, and trusted-device name.
4. Complete captcha or two-factor verification if requested.
5. Wait for complete discovery and the success message.
6. Restart Homebridge normally.

V5 requires a configuration block with platform: "HomebridgeEufy". The V4 EufySecurity alias is not registered or migrated.

Authentication stages a new account generation. Only a successful login and complete discovery replace the active generation. The restart then transfers ownership to the long-lived runtime.

Credentials are persisted as part of the Homebridge/plugin configuration. Captcha and two-factor answers are used only by the active temporary authentication flow.
