HomeKit Controller doesn't reestablish communication with restarted ecobee
The problem
I've only so far experienced this with an ecobee, but it's possible it applies to other devices.
My ecobee had to be powered down briefly. When offline the device is unavailable in the Home Assistant UI (great!). When ecobee is powered back on, the device never becomes available. Restarting the integration fixed it and restored connectivity.
I've had to power down the ecobee a few times recently and this wasn't an issue with 2022.07 so I think this is new with 2022.08
What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?
2022.8.1
What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?
2022.7
What type of installation are you running?
Home Assistant Container
Integration causing the issue
homekit_controller

Hey there @jc2k, @bdraco, mind taking a look at this issue as it has been labeled with an integration (homekit_controller) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!

I'm experiencing the same issue with my Homekit devices as well (2022.8.2), but it isn't just my Ecobee. I have a few HomeKit light switches reboot themselves every day ~2AM (but staggered by a few minutes). Sure enough, they all have gone unavailable after the light switches restart. Reloading the integration for those devices brings them back immediately.
This has been happening every night since upgrading from 2022.7.6 -> 2022.8.1 (and then 2022.8.2).
Which models are the light switches?
Thanks
Meross MSS510 (2-way light switches). I have a few of them that were all purchased ~18 months a part.
What's weird is that my 3-way Meross (MSS550) light switches don't seem to be restarting every morning ~2AM. So they're not exhibiting this behavior.
I ordered an MSS510 for testing https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087P3DM42?psc=1&smid=AMUYZQ3EOZ3KS&ref_=chk_typ_imgToDp

Some additional helpful information for debugging once it arrives. The firmware for each of my MSS510 switches are currently the newest; 4.2.3. App lists the hardware version for each as 4.0.0.
Test one showed up with the same firmware. I'm running it with #76570 merged in
Switch stayed up overnight running the changes in https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/76570

Thanks! I'm just confirming in case another person comes across this issue, the merged fix related to this issue resolved my problem. 😄
My ecobee thermostat keeps becoming unavailable, then coming back. The history tab on the thermostat card shows it as frequent as every minute and as long as several minutes. Restarting the homekit integration may or may not cause it to come back from an unavailable state since it restores itself every few minutes anyway. This has been happening since before July. I could not find anything in the logs referencing homekit or ecobee as being a problem. I had previously opened an issue on it which was merged as a duplicate of this one and was never really addressed, but my issue is still ongoing. I have deleted the integration and reconfigured it multiple times and the issue begins within an hour of setup. Ecobee is the only device I have setup through the homekit controller integration and it worked great for about a year until the issue started. I have since deleted the integration altogether because it acts up and changes temp or turns off completely due to rules and automations freaking out when it goes offline and when it comes back online. It's been over 100 degrees farenheit where I live and is going to 108-110 degrees farenheit for the next week or so. I can't have my thermostat keep shutting off randomly.
