Integration fails if camera is unavailable during startup

[kylehase]

I have a Yi-Dome 1080p camera which is normally powered off via smart switch for privacy and turned on when necessary (I have trust issues with software privacy switching). This worked well with the generic camera and ONVIF integrations before switching to the Yi-Hack integration.

With the Yi-Hack integration v0.3.8, the camera must be powered on during startup or the integration will fail even after the camera is powered on and connected to WiFi. A workaround is to create an automation to turn the camera on before HA shutdown and off again after boot, but that won't work for restarts due to crashes or power outages.

Here's a screenshot of the integration page.

Here's a dump of the log during startup

I'm not sure what happens if multiple cameras are setup and at least one is online during boot, but I suspect that the integration would work.

I don't know how to fix this problem. It is related to how integrations start (integrations not configured through configuration.yaml). Suggestions?
