Home Assistant looses the ability to communicate with Insteon Hub 2 (2245-222)

See original GitHub issue

The problem

Insteon integration stops communicating with the hub after some time. Restaring Hub fixes the problem only temporarily, the same error occurs after several hour of communicating with the hub. The hub itself is operational and communicating with Insteon App. The problem seems to be with the pyinsteon.protocol.http_reader_writer improperly closing the http connection.

Since other people were reporting a similar issue, is there a manual fix for this or a new code in the upcoming release? Thank you for your time and effort in resolving this problem.

FWIW, @john94501 - My hub2 has all the same details. I’m subscribed and still using the iOS app (getting things set up to switch over to HA) and there’s an “Update Hub” option in the app. However, checking for updates reveals no new updates available…so it would appear we’re both as up-to-date as we can be.

Same issues as noted above, very annoying and making me rethink insteon devices entirely.
