Fail to get device properties. SocketError: Timeout

[paqpaqpaq]

I get this off and on, but lately more on.
If I unplug the humidifier, plug it in again, restart HB, I can use it a while, and after it goes back to the error.

when I delete it, reboot HB, re-add it, reboot HB, it seems to be working for a bit longer.

It worked for a few hours, and then suddenly, out of the blue:

it slows homebridge down too, a lot!

when I run a token scan, the token is still the same:

   NAME:     Smartmi Evaporative Humidifier
   ID:       312978129
   IP:       192.168.108.233
   TOKEN:    [same token]
   MODEL:    zhimi.humidifier.cb1

so HB reboot, works again... for now....

Did you find any solution?

Same here Fail to get device properties. SocketError: Timeout and This plugin generated a warning from the characteristic 'Current Relative Humidity': characteristic value expected valid finite number and received "undefined" (undefined). See https://homebridge.io/w/JtMGR for more info.
zhimi.humidifier.ca4 with new firmware 2.2.4.0017
Even with this error message, I can still turn on/off the humidifier, and the humidity, water level, fan speed are all correct.
