When a device is offline or unreachable during Home Assistant startup, previously raised . HA's built-in retry mechanism uses exponential backoff up to 15 minutes, which leads to a poor user experience for local LAN devices. Catch initial connection errors during and log a warning instead of failing setup. This allows platforms to set up and entities to be created (in an unavailable state), while the coordinator continues background retry polling.

Sorry, I’m on vacation this week. 🏖️ This one is going to take some thought, so I was planning on getting to it when I get back next week. Sorry for the delay. |

No worries, it basically makes the device and entities not do the infinite "initializing" and just loads them while re-connection occurs in the background, similar to how the cloud integration works. have a good vacation man. |

Fixes #295
Problem
If a Samsung appliance is powered off during Home Assistant restart,
async_setup_entryraisesConfigEntryNotReady. HA's built-in retry uses exponential backoff up to 15 minutes, which is poor UX for a LAN-local integration.Solution
async_setup_entry, log a warning, and proceed with setup.
