crash when listed device found about home_assistant-ble HOT 4 CLOSED

I'm running this on a RaspberryPI 3B with ruby 2.3.0. I had the same or similar issue; crash when receiving the response from homeassistant. BTW, I'm running HA 0.85.1 on a RaspberryPI 3B. I suspected an issue with deflating the response from HA, so I forced the accept-encoding header to 'identity' to disable compressed responses. That fixed the issue and it's now working. I do not believe that home_assistant_ble will every be transferring huge amounts of data, so this is probably an acceptable change - until ruby is fixed. Patch below or would you like a PR for this one-liner?

       def update_home_assistant(ha_conf, state)
         ha_name = ha_conf['name']
         uri = URI.join(home_assistant_url, "api/states/device_tracker.#{ha_name}")
         request = Net::HTTP::Post.new(uri)
         request.content_type = 'application/json'
+        request['Accept-Encoding'] = 'identity'
         request['X-Ha-Access'] = home_assistant_password if home_assistant_password
         request.body = state_update(ha_conf, state)
         req_options = { use_ssl: uri.scheme == 'https' }

I'm seeing this too. Happy to help debug if required.

This seems to be a ruby issue where ruby for some reasons is trying to inflate something which wasn't compressed in the first place. I see bug reports against older versions of ruby for this.

Updating to the latest ruby with RVM didn't help.
