@llapinski It looks like your setup / Home Assistant instance isn’t able to receive multicast traffic.

Thank you for a tip - it was connected with docker service upgrade (changed docker-compose structure). In newer version it wasn’t possible to add network_mode: host and ports declaration in the same service in docker-compose file. I decided to use the ports section and I didn’t connect that with integration problems. As you suggested, I noticed that this setting prevents receiving multicast traffic. I changed ports section to network_mode: host and my integration is stable again. Thank you @syssi
