[iCloud] Binding Communications Error. Drops offline, comes back online some of the time

[BigGeorgeTx]

Expected Behavior

Binding stays online and if it drops offline, it reconnects automatically. Currently a number of users are reporting that sometimes they have to restart the binding or openHAB to get it to reconnect.

Current Behavior

Communication Error appears occasionally (a few times day) and doesn't come back on line (~ 1 a week). Reported by several users at https://community.openhab.org/t/icloud-binding-communication-error/122131/308?u=biggeorgetx

Possible Solution

No idea

With https://github.com/openhab/openhab-addons/issues/13282 we changed a lot on the logic the binding handles communication to iCloud and how devices are initialized. Is this error still existing in 3.4.x?
