Roomba 960 not able to connect

The problem

I’ve had my Roomba 960 set up for about 18 months now, and it has been unable to connect for a while now.

I’m not sure what version actually broke it (or it could have even been an update to the Roomba itself 😬), but I noticed an error when updating to 2022.4.0 this morning. I’ve attached it down below.

I also attempted to simply reload the integration, and I see two errors… I’ve attached them down below as well.

My Roomba is definitely on the network (can ping from terminal), so I’m not sure why it wouldn’t be able to connect 🤔

It does seem like rebooting the robot from the app helped (integration set up successfully), but connection must be getting dropped somewhere along the way, because it also seems like I have to reload the integration before starting the vacuum, or it won’t run.
