Support Request: Roomba i3 throwing errors when docked

[hollandcloud]

Describe Your Problem:

I am not sure if this is a supportability issue (e.g. i3 is not supported), but i'll describe the issue.

When docked, the homebridge-iRobot plugin is throwing a timeout error every 5 seconds and reconnecting. When my i3 Roomba is in a clean mode, there are no errors and things work fine.

Expected behavior:

No response

I have three Roomba, i4, 671 and 985. i4 is always connected, 671 always returns the errors here (disconnecting, connection closed, attempting to reconnect), and the 985 seems to go back and forth.

"Remove Single Cached Accessory" did not help.

Just wanted to throw in my experience here with my 960s. I'll see one of them (at a time, it's happened to both) get stuck in this loop and will require the HomeBridge server be rebooted to get it unstuck.
