Errors in homeassistant.log regarding some Tasmota devices

Hi, just finished upgrading HA from 2021.8.6 to 2022.11.5 with Tasmota integration and Tasmota 12.2 (latest) on devices

I get these type of errors in the error log

SetOption19 is at 0

Any specific reason why it throws this error?

Well, the specific reason seems to be just like in this github issue that never got any response either.

It only happens when TasmoAdmin is running but since I seldom use TasmoAdmin, I guess that’s that.
