Diagnostics information

It looks like the way HA discovers awair devices is by arp, since at no point during the adding of the device is an IP used (i have them configured to get 'static' ip addressed from dhcp using pfsense). It seems that if they fall off the wifi for any reason and then reconnect, HA marks them as down, and the integration doesnt seem to be able to pick them back up again unless i manually bump them off using the unifi controller and force them to reassociate to wifi. I have a feeling it may be home assistant itself falling off wifi and reconnecting, and when that happens it somehow 'breaks arp' in a way that prevens comms to the awair devices.

Anything in the logs that might be useful for us?

it would be really nice to have this integration be able to aim at the ip address in addition to the existing arp-based functionality, so that intermittent network issues cease causing the devices to require manual intervention so often. I have to do this 2-5 times a week.
