Slow Switches - Sorry I can't reach homebridge

[famewolf]

I have a couple of switches that are slow to be connected to......homebridge eventually connects to them and turns them on and off but every time the switch is activated via a routine or directly both google home and alexa will say something along the lines of "Sorry I can't reach homebridge" so for example when I run my morning routine amidst it turning on all the other lights it will say "Sorry I can't reach homebridge" twice. Any chance of a parm such as "silent" which would tell it not to wait on a return code to verify connection for those specific switches?

I watched homebridge when the routine ran and could see it repeatedly trying to connect to the switch for up to 30 seconds later but it eventually connects and issues the command for both switches.
