Can anyone tell me why this would be occurring intermittently? When it does data continues to flow to all but the HAT display

I noticed as well that the HAT nodes would display "disconnected" from time to time, to me without any observable effect?

I have included a screen shot of the config

pam\_unix(sudo:session): session opened for user root by (uid=0)  
pam\_unix(sudo:session): session closed for user root  
pi : TTY=unknown ; PWD=/home/pi ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/python -u /home/pi/.node-red/node\_modules/node-red-node-pi-sense-hat/sensehat.py

One to raise with the author of that node I think. It appears to be calling some underlying Python code?
