To Reproduce: This occurs every time I restarted HomeBridge.

Expected behavior:

Versions 16 and 17 beta, still with bug 449. Status requests seem to overlap with timeouted reconnections, resulting in tcp L510 flooding and connection dropping. Several hours after restarting HB, four L510s are plagued by several dozen connections per second, which generates error 449 (checked in router logs). Please do something about it, as plugins from version 16 on are useless as they are.
