Bug 2 in send

[bkp7]

I believe that whilst the first call to send is successful, subsequent calls fail. This I believe is due to the code at line 356 in samsung.ts whereby the command is only actually sent following the opening of the websocket connection. Subsequent calls don't open a websocket so are not actually sent. This Hypothesis needs to be checked by someone more familiar then I.

How would you tackle this @Toxblh ? Happy to contribute.

I saw you moved from keeping the WS socket as a global state. But now, the WS socket is not closed on each possible path (error, ...) and thus also created this bug.

I would suggest to move it back to global, but check whether it's still connected on each send call?
As e.g. here: https://dev.to/karlhadwen/node-js-websocket-tutorial-real-time-chat-room-using-multiple-clients-24ad (search for init())

Or use a library for this, which even buffers send calls when the socket is disconnected?https://www.npmjs.com/package/reconnecting-websocket

It's not a problem to keep a connection. A big problem to match requests and responses in async. I can send requests 1, 2, 3 and receive 2, error, 1, and I can't pass an independent token to each request, that is why I use the approach open -> req -> res -> close to resolve this.
Another way it creates a queue and resolve requests like "sync" mode "open connection, pop from stack request, awaits a response, to receive a response, exec callback -> repeat from the step pop from stack"

I chose just to recreate a connection. A bit slower, but also easy to implement

I understand your point. Will improve works after any errors
