Blocks HA launch when spa connection is down #72

My in.touch2 box is pretty far from my tub at the moment (waiting for the ground to thaw to continue construction, at which point there will be network out to a cabinet near the tub). It works most of the time but sometimes disconnects.

This morning I needed to restart HA and it happened that the tub connection was down. The Gecko integration seemed to totally block HA from finishing startup. I waited several minutes and it was still blocking startup. Unplugging the in.touch2 to take it offline temporarily solved the issue. Seems like perhaps there needs to be a timeout added somewhere in the initialization code.

Thanks for the great work!

I've left my spa offline for 2 months without any issues to with HA, it does log that its taking a long time though but not stopping boot process.

Interesting. I wonder if it's something specific to a weak connection. E.g. it's able to begin the connection process in a way that doesn't happen if the spa is totally offline and then something doesn't timeout properly. Either way, I'm fine for now as I just moved the hub upstairs where it has a better connection.
