Additional context
I added extra logging to this plugin, but as far as I can tell it never calls the constructor.

I seem to have made some progress by directly editing /var/lib/hoobs/optomaprojectortelnetbridge/config.json

I had to do this using vi, when I try and do it in Hoobs it just hangs on the save.

It would be really good to understand why the above change to the config makes a difference, I noticed your Pi-Hole template also moves accessories up a level and removes platforms. But the web interface seems to get upset when I try and do this directly in Hoobs.
