Harmony Hub reported as offline?

openHAB 4.1.2 as VM, Debian 12 OS with openhabian
openHAB 4.1.x RaspberryPi 5, Raspbian with openhabian

Good afternoon.
I have been running into an issue with my Harmony not working with OH. If I send a command (any command) there is no action. This had been happening with a fresh install on a Raspberry Pi 5. For some checks I have installed OH as a Debian VM under Proxmox. openhabian was installed as well on both systems.

With both setups, after running for rougly a week my harmony binding stops responding to button presses through OH. I just changed logging for the binding to debug and it is reporting my hub is offline. I can still control my hub with the remote and with the Android app.
After a restart of OH the hub is reachable again.

Any thoughts or suggestions for how I could help with more information to assist with some trouble shooting?

It sounds like the connection is timing out. I haven’t heard of that before, and haven’t experienced it with my Harmony Hubs. When it goes offline, what happens if you disable and reenable the thing (instead of restarting openHAB)?

I have an old Belkin Wemo device that eventually stops responding to openHAB, so I have a rule to disable/enable it daily.

Thanks for this suggestion @rpwong , next time my hub reports offline i will try the disable/enable on it and report back.

Yes I’m puzzled why this has started to happen it began 3 or 4 months ago. I’ve been using this same hub with OH for quite a while. It’s the Harmony Elite/hub package, bought it shortly after it was released.
