Frequent ECONNREFUSED after update to Homebridge v1.8.5

[papadimi]

Keeps throwing ECONNREFUSED after update to Homebridge v1.8.5. Need to restart child bridge every time, but after a while the error happens again, eg.:

Hue Bridge: request 2616: connect ECONNREFUSED 192.168.3.254:443

Plugin version v0.14.11

ECONNREFUSED means that Homebridge Hue tries to connect to a Hue bridge, but it doesn't accept the connection. I doubt this is related to the Homebridge update. Since this is request 2616, it looks like the connection to the Hue bridge was dropped, and Homebridge Hue cannot re-establish it. This is a problem with your home network and/or your Hue bridge. I suspect there are also other errors in the Homebridge log, which might give you a clue.
