Sometimes connection drops and doesn't reconnect about iobroker.harmony

[foxriver76]

You could try the github version from my fork: https://github.com/foxriver76/ioBroker.harmony

The normal behaviour is that it will try to connect again every time the hub is discovered again. But the discovery is implemented in another package. My fork uses newer dependencies, so maybe this bug is fixed.

@foxriver76 Thanks. I think the relevant code is commented out in your fork so it might work better, but I still think that in some cases it might fail.

The reason why it breaks is that the hub stays discovered in my case. The relevent part is:
https://github.com/Pmant/ioBroker.harmony/blob/master/harmony.js#L297

It has a timeout of 5 seconds (I'm not sure what the default is in your fork as timeout is commented out but I assume that there still is a timeout). After that it fails (catched with "could not connect to ...") and just stops the client. The hub itself stays discovered in my case and so it won't try to reconnect at all. I think if the connection fails a setTimeout should start instead of just calling "clientStop", that tries to reconnect a few seconds later.

Thanks for the explanation -- I will have a closer look at it and will try to fix the problem.
