Start error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'updateCharacteristic')..

[keefar]

The plugin throws this error message

Device: 192.168.1.45 Denon AVR X3700H, did finish launching error: Error: Start error: Check state error: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'updateCharacteristic')..

when starting. The receiver has power and is connected via LAN.

Sometimes the plugin doesn't read the receiver's properties, I don't know whether this is related.

Can you post the debug?

[keefar]

Sure :)

Try 5.1.23-beta.0 and let me know

[keefar]

Unfortunately it's still the same with 5.1.23.

Here is the log. Let me know if you also would like to see the JSON Data before that, it's bigger than my log buffer however.
