TV does not respond sometimes until I restarted Homebridge

[sammichen1]

I love this plugin so much, however it will stop responding sometime. every time it stopped working, I have to logon Homebridge and restart the service, after that it works fine again. I have checked all closed issue and I got the exactly same issue #65

here is my log from HB
[10/09/2022, 18:45:36] [PanasonicVieraTV] (setPowerStatus)/-> into STANDBY - unable to power cycle TV - unpowered ?
[10/09/2022, 18:45:54] [PanasonicVieraTV] (setPowerStatus)/-> into STANDBY - unable to power cycle TV - unpowered ?

After I restarted HB services ( no matter the TV is on or off during restart), it works again. I believe it is not related to my local network.

[10/09/2022, 22:42:28] [PanasonicVieraTV] found a 'TH-48JZ1000H' TV (TH-48JZ1000H) at '192.168.1.213' (requires crypto for communication).

[10/09/2022, 22:42:28] [PanasonicVieraTV] successfully loaded TV
[10/09/2022, 22:42:28] TV 50DC is running on port 45701.

I would really appreciate it if you could solve it. thanks

I noted that the port changed every time after I restarted HB, is it the root cause because the TV changed the port after a period but the plug-in doesn’t find it until I restart HB ? Thanks

So what's the fix for this? I'm having the same issue

If you restrict internet access to the TV, will that stop it from changing the port?
