Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/nickustinov/itsyhome-macos/issues/84

I can't pinpoint exactly when this happens or how many times it has happened, but this last one was with an Ecobee Thermostat. I restarted Itshome, and the webhook info query started returning the same old, unchanged state (temperature and humidity) continuously, from the start, but from the menu bar interface, it showed the correct updated value. Once I hit refresh from the menu bar drop down, the webhook query started returning updated values. I think it happened a couple times before, but it didn't really occur to me what was going on until I actually captured what was happening this time.

During this period, other devices (at leas the handful I was recording) were updating fine.

I should also mention this is HomeKit, not Home Assistant.

Another case I just caught is a battery powered smart lock (Schlage Encode Plus) didn't update in either the menubar dropdown menu or the webhook until I intentionally dropped down the menu. It had been unlocked for a couple hours and didn't update. Once I dropped the menu, and expended the room, the lock state updated correctly from locked to unlocked in Itsyhome. After this, the webhook query returned the correct state, also. I didn't actually have to click the refresh button in this case. Note that during this time, I did see other updates for at least some other devices. Also, the the Mac where Itsyhome is running and I'm collecting stat has the display off most of the time, but has "Prevent automatic sleeping when the display is off" enabled.
