Platform plugin blocks the whole homebridge at start if no connection to the hub
Hi,

today for some reason the homebridge stopped working while I was out of home. A friend of mine, living in the same area, told me we're having a power blockout. When got back home, I checked the logs and found that my Harmony Hub Ultimate was having trouble to go back online (it's pretty far from wifi router), then I realized that Your plugin is trying to connect to the hub over and over again, and is blocking the homebridge from starting.

Wouldn't it be great to use some promise or something like that to let other platforms and accessories start, and in the end when the hub finally gets online, connect it?

I have Philips Hub bridge with IKEA tradfri bulbs paired, so it's more important for me to have homebridge-hue working than homebridge-harmony.
