Error: Network communication is unavailable, device might be destroyed

[LPFchan]

I'm running Homebridge 1.5.0 and homebridge-xiaomi-fan v1.5.9. The fan will give me No Response error on the Home app but it works fine after I restart Homebridge so it's not a bad token, then it happens again once in a blue moon ... rinse and repeat.

This is more or less an issue with the outdated underlaying miio library which is not maintained anymore. What fan do you have?

You can try to run the homebridge-miot plugin, but it will have limited device support of your fan since it is not a native miot device.

MIOT is a new Plugin from you?

[merdok]

yes, and i consider it as a replacement of this one
