Connecting does not work anymore. Event Emitter ready never fires

[relief-melone]

In the past I used ether-port alot to use johnny five with my ESP8266 chips. But now with the newer versions I tried everything and I just cannot get it to work. Even with the most simple setting. This is the code

// I've also tried classical require just to be sure. Same result
import five from 'johnny-five';
import { EtherPortClient } from 'etherport-client';

const board = new five.Board({
  port: new EtherPort({ host: '192.168.xxx.xxx', port: 3030 }),
  repl: false,
  timeout: 1e5
});
board.on('ready', () => {
  console.log('Board Ready');
});

This setting used to work just fine. However the ready emitter never fires and the connection times out. Now I am still using the firmata from http://firmatabuilder.com as I have in the past (could this be a possible issue). Apart from that I checked everything.

1. The ESP8266 is properly connected to wifi
2. I scanned the ports and my 3030 is open.
3. Tested everyhthing with 3 different ESP8266 boards. Same result

I also checked the comms with WireShark and PC and Board are communicating. But not really much and I can't make anything out of it. Here's the data I logged (it's always fired 6 times with this data)
