Connection lost / Invalid Data

[metaljay]

Hi,

If possible, could you add a functionality to reconnect or check if connected? (Possibly multiple times?)

I ask as after about a few hours of the plugin working I get this log and then it stays disconnected.
My Texecom continues to output creston as I can connect via telnet but no triggers.

19/20/2024,
[8:44:41 AM] [Texecom] IP connection ended
[9/20/2024, 8:44:41 AM] [Texecom] IP connection closed
[9/20/2024, 8:44:41 AM] [Texecom] Re-connected after loss of connection
[9/20/2024, 8:44:43 AM] [Texecom] Connected via IP

[10/6/2024, 1:04:34 PM] [Texecom] Sending arm/disarm command 1 to area 001 #this is me trying to send a command
[10/6/2024, 1:04:36 PM] [Texecom] Callback with error Error: Timeout
[10/6/2024, 1:05:13 PM] [Texecom] Sending arm/disarm command 3 to area 001
[10/6/2024, 1:05:13 PM] [Texecom] Setting current status of area 001 to 3 because alarm responded OK

No triggers or anything:

Hi metaljay, it does have support for reconnecting as you can see there in the messages. So the question is whether it really has reconnected when it says it has. Is this a direct connection to the alarm via IP or are you connecting to something else? If the latter please try connecting directly to see if the problem persists.

I am connecting via ser2net on an esp8266.
If I use texecom2MQTT (via HA) I can see everything connects ok see the sensors trigger, I can also connect directly via wintex, but forwhatever reason when I try this plugin (or any Texecom homebridge plugin) none of them appear to actually connect.

I wonder if the data being output from ser2net is in a different format to what this plugin is expecting?
