Event stream stops after some time (days, weeks)

[slybit]

Describe The Problem:

Hello, I am using your nice project as part of a larger home-made alarm system and noticed that after some time (can be multiple weeks), the event stream simply stops. I assume that is because the websocket stream is somehow interrupted and not re-established.

My question:
Is there anything I can do in any of the events thrown by unifi-protect to (1) detect this has happened and (2) reconnect?

Note:
I found this code in your homebridge project:

    // Bootstrap refresh loop.
    const bootstrapRefresh = (): void => {

      // Sleep until it's time to bootstrap again.
      setTimeout(() => void this.bootstrapNvr(), PROTECT_CONTROLLER_REFRESH_INTERVAL * 1000);
    };

    // Let's set a listener to wait for bootstrap events to occur so we can keep ourselves in sync with the Protect controller.
    this.ufpApi.on("bootstrap", () => {

      // Sync our device view.
      syncUfpHomeKit();

      // Refresh our bootstrap.
      bootstrapRefresh();
    });

    // Kickoff our first round of bootstrap refreshes to ensure we stay in sync.
    bootstrapRefresh();

Is that the solution? Keep calling the bootstrap call every x seconds?

To Reproduce:

Register an unifi-protect.on("message") listener
Do a unifi-protect.login()
Do unifi-protect.getBootstrap()
Wait for the on("message") to stop being triggered

Logs:

The unifi-protect logs remain empty (no errors or anything are thrown)

After reading all the code in https://github.com/hjdhjd/unifi-protect/blob/main/src/protect-api.ts, I now understand that indeed calling the bootstrap() method will reestablish the ws connection.
I will add similar code to my project to ensure the ws stream gets re-established every "x" seconds.
Closing my own ticket.
