OpenTherm blocking communication with HASS (Error getting initial data for [IP]: Timeout waiting for response for <class 'api_pb2.ListEntitiesRequest'> after 60.0s)

[cnrd]

Hi

It seems like HomeAssistant is unable to list the entities.

Getting the following message in HomeAssistant log.

Error getting initial data for [IP]: Timeout waiting for response for <class 'api_pb2.ListEntitiesRequest'> after 60.0s

I am almost certain that it is related to the following log messages from the ESPHome device:

12:54:36	[W]	[component:214]	
Component custom_component took a long time for an operation (3.72 s).
12:54:36	[W]	[component:215]	
Components should block for at most 20-30ms.

It seems like the opentherm component is blocking ESPHome from communicating with HomeAssistant
