core: Intermittent connection issues with ESP Home devices with bk72xx

The problem

I am getting Intermittent connection issues when connecting home assistant to a esphome light device.

When it connects and run, it runs perfectly well.

It disconnects around 2-3 mins of usage and tries to reconnect after losing al control. The state gets stuck and you can’t turn on/off or control the color until the reconnect.

This happens very frequently and I’m not sure what the cause is. I attached the logs below and assumed that it might have been something with the aioesphomeapi.

What I’ve noticed is that the web_service connection for the esphome light still works and is able to still function with the REST API. This REST API doesn’t go down but the HA => ESPHome connect/disconnect frequently. (2-3min intervals)

This thread is very similar to my problem. https://community.home-assistant.io/t/esphome-didnt-respond-to-ping-request-in-time-disconnecting/608538

Any help or information is appreciated.
