Describe the bug For unknown reasons my currentcost usb-serial interface loses connection intermittently. In the process the script crashes and is dead/unresponsive until hass is restarted.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behaviour, including error message if any.

Expected behaviour Gracefully handle any serial port failures and recover. By adding a <try, except> over the reader.readline the scripts seems to recover properly. Probably have to add some delay or timeout in exception handling to prevent excessive logging.

    while True:
        try:
            line = await reader.readline()
            line = line.decode("utf-8").strip()
            _LOGGER.debug("Line Received: %s", line)
        except:
            _LOGGER.error("Error reading from serial port")
