I have had a suspicion that homebridge-evohome has been cause to the Homekit app (iOS 12.1.3) losing connection to Homebridge. So I have created a separate Homebridge as a docker container on Synology. I run homebridge-evohome as the only plugin, so to be able to isolate any issues.
I can add the Homebridge instance to Homekit using the app and assign the thermostats and modes to rooms and change the accessory names. However, the first temperature update that occurs will cause Homekit to lose the Homebridge instance. Here is the debug log that captures what occurred at this time:

I am able to reproduce this behavior. Please can someone point me in the right direction for further investigation? Many thanks in advance.
