Cannot read properties of null (reading 'characteristics')

Get this error often (randomly) - leads to restart of homebridge:

how to debug what is to blame ?

I fixed the logic so it shouldn't crash anymore when this re-occurs, and if debug logging is enable it will log additional details in a line starting with

Incomplete EVENT
