harmony plugin causes hoobs to crash on daily base

[SvenKempf]

Description
Since a couple of days my hoobs installation - which was used to be rock stable - is crashing on daily base (sometimes even multiple times per day).
I did a couple of hoobs- and plugin updates. One of them might have caused this behavior.
To me it looks to be related to the "harmony" plugin

Expected behavoir
The plugin shall (and did in the past) steer my harmony hub scenes.

Plugin name
homebridge-harmony

Please report the issue to the plugin developer
This was done by me but he consists of this must be an issue of hoobs (shall be stable on native homebridge and might be an issue with hoobs network stack),
Issue was reported here:
nicoduj/homebridge-harmony#361

Additional context
I meanwhile had to remove harmony module to get system stable again

[nicoduj]

Just a few other ideas : Did you check the ip of the hub is stable ? (fixed) . Is there any issue connecting ti the hub with iphone / android app ?

Did you try increasing the connect timeout ?

One other things : on normal homebridge, such error does not crash the bridge ....

But as I said, it seems either to be a network issue or related to the hoobs stack itself.

[SvenKempf]

The IP is definitely fixed.
Connection might anyways be an issue. I have a AVM Mesh installed and have observed that the harmony hub toggles between repeaters (even as everything is stationary)
Timeout indeed helped a little as hoobs didn‘t crash sooo frequently.
But as you say: Even if the module/connection times out this should not result in a complete shutdown.
