Not picking up WLEDs after power loss if homebridge boots faster #43

Hello @jstrausd , I really like this plugin it integrates really nice into my setup.

But I have one probably minor problem. I have 6 single RGBW LED bulbs running WLED. It all works fine untile the devices loose power and at this time homebridge restarts. After that I have to reload homebridge again to get connection back.

I had to shut down all my services on my home-network for some work on the electric lines, after that I discovered that issue. It somehow happend that homebridge was faster in boot than the WLED devices or my WiFi I guess. My first guess was, that it happens on every power loss but fortunately this is not the case. Once the WLEDS are picked up on homebridge start, it picks them up even after the devies were cut from power, wich is good.

I'm running Plugin Version 1.3.3

Steps to reproduce

  1. unplug WLED device
  2. restart homebridge
  3. WLEDs not accasible
  4. restart homebridge again
  5. WLEDs back in action

My setup is a little adanced, I have all the WLEDs in a dedicated Network, Isolated with some other IOT stuff. The Firewall blocks all Internet Traffic but I have homebridge running on 2 networks. The IOT network and my normale house network, so there is no need for any traffice to pass over the router for these devices. I assume this should work fine but I wanted to mention it.

As it happens rarely I would consider it as a minor bug. Hopefully it is fixable to improve the user experiance.
