Deamon stopps working if Sensor not found

Hi ! The demon works fine if the miflora sensor is in range. If not the deamon (or the underlaying library) stops working with the message:

btlewrap.base.BluetoothBackendException: Exit read_ble, no data (<_MainThread(MainThread, started -1225092352)>)

I test this by simply add a not existing mac in the config.ini I have installed miflora v0.4. Any ideas ?

I’m running into this (one of my sensors ‘drifts’ in and out of Bluetooth range, so I’m seeing this pretty often) - will try out the fix @jboeddeker and @JoanMCD over the next few days and put up a PR unless someone beats me to it

Thomas, thanks for adding this in and maintaining this daemon. It works great and makes it much easier to work with the MiFlora!
