BLE disabling after update.

After updating to the latest version of the release the “instal” window freezes and the whole of homebridge freezes. Only way out is to manually restart the raspberry Pi. Going back to earlier version is partially successful. Going back to 7.5.0 takes a long time to load and restart the service and still has the same errors.

Bluetooth is disabled on multiple devices, aultimately all of homebridge hangs and needs a physical restart. No error messages with

Details of your setup.

• Do you use (1) Homebridge UI-X v4.50.2

• Which version of Homebridge/HOOBS do you have?

• Which platform do you run Homebridge/HOOBS on (e.g. Raspberry Pi/Windows/HOOBS Box)? Please also mention your version of Node.js/NPM if known.

• Raspberry Pi 3

• Node v18.12.1

• Which version of this plugin (homebridge-govee) do you have? Has the issue started since upgrading from a previous version? I was originally on 7.5.0 then 7.5.1 now trying 7.6 There have been minor issues on each upgrade, error messages during the install process but overall things recovered and went well. errr message in the install window when trying to down grade to 7.5.0 are as follows. ‘’’ CMD: sudo -E -n npm install -g homebridge-govee@7.5.0

‘’‘’ screen freezes and after a period the pi is physically restarted. this normally then proceeds to load and work well with HomeKit. However, I have noticed more instances of homebred becoming non response but with no noticeable errors. This same error appears when upgrading to 7.6

• Which Govee devices do you have that are causing issues? Please include product models if applicable. All Bluetooth models for example h6179 h6127

Please paste any relevant logs below.

No real errors in logs, only the following warning which slows the process then continues after disabling BLE. The BLE gives lights are shown in HomeKit but are “no Esponse” all others work as expected.

Yes, we ar on it to solve #393 soon too

Thanks for the help, I disabled a number of other plugins, dropped the used ram down and successfully installed the update. I knew I was running at about max RAM so I should have thought about that myself. now however I get [BLE] disabling client as btClient.on is not a function at new default (file:///usr/local/lib/node_modules/homebridge-govee/lib/connection/ble.js:18:14).

but I can see that is the other BLE error #393 that has been raised and its waiting on a fix from abandonware.

So thanks again. Now all I need is to find a Raspberry pi 4 with 8gb ram for sale
