UUID error on restart - Githubissues

This is an error which has been there for a long time after restart homebridge complains that it can not add a device wih the same UUID somehow it thinks an already added device is a new device

Analysis Homebridge v1.3.8 Edomoticz plugin 2.1.38 Homebridge UI v4.41.4

everytime i restart homebridge it generated an error. it seems to think it has a new device but in fact it is an alleady configured devices thus giving an error that it can not configure. the only way to get rid of it is to stop the container, remove the cached accesories file and start the container

Expected Behavior no errors on reboot there are no new devices so old devices should not be recognised as new

Steps To Reproduce reboot the homebridge docker container
