homebridge restarts frequently after experiencing an address collision

[KlinkOnE]

Hi,

first of all thanks for the plugin.
I have a fresh installation of homebridge and your plugin nothing else on a raspi 4b.
Unfortunately i have know knowledge about homebridge yet.

I am getting following error frequently.

Any idea what is causing this?

I had it only on debugging : you need to clean your homebridge folders

If you mean removing directories accessories and persist then this does not solve the problem.
same Error

anything else i can do?

Ok this is related to solved issues #30 and #7.

For Solution as within #7

• disabling USB-Debugging at TV makes the issue appear far less frequent (from minutes to hours)
• maybe this circumstance could be added to the plugin description because USB-Debugging/ADB is often used for controlling the tv by other application

For Solution as within #30

• @andycylam mentioned possible solution by making device discovery conditional depending if uuid is already existing

Unfortunately i have no idea how to do this.
