Unable To Start Home Assistant During A Lightwave Outage

[MightyJudge]

It appears that lightwave2 stops home assistant from booting in the event of a lightwave api outage.

These outages are very rare but I wanted to make you aware of this as It seems there is an outage at the moment.

Home assistant was working ok until I rebooted it, now checking the logs shows a lot of error messages similar to:

To be fair, wouldn't allowing Home Assistant to start create other issues relating to automations that depend on the state of the lights?

Fixed in latest commit. Not super-elegant, as the only way of recovering is to restart HA when the LW server comes back up, but it'll do for now.
