Works only after reboot of the RPI

Hi,

I have been successfully running your solution for quite some time with the flower sensors - thank you for developing this great solution.
However, for the last few days I have a strange problem.
The program runs flawless, once I have rebooted the RPi, when it runs a second time though it has problems with each and every single sensor. As it runs the first time well, I guess it does not have problems with the bluetooth interface, but also not with accessing the MQTT Server - as both work in the first run.

I am not quite sure what I am missing here and was wondering if you could have a look into this.

The log file looks as follows in the first run, when it works:

Any idea on what I am doing wrong is highly appreciated!

Thanks a lot!

Hello,

I haven't used my sensors for a while and wanted to reactivate them today. Unfortunately it's working not anymore. I am using Node-RED instead of Homeassistant, but starting plantgateway from console shows exactly the same python errors. So I guess you're not doing wrong.

Regards

I switched to this project today:
