SK on Rpi5 freezes
FWIW Chrome on Ubuntu will 100 percent freeze your system if a React app gets too many updates in too short an interval.
Discovered this recently in a beta build of the Bluetooth sensors plug-in running in a Bluetooth rich environment. The server was hammering a React client with updates of in- range Bluetooth devices every 50ms or so. Ubuntu desktop appeared to freeze. Nothing on the desktop appeared to be working.
Changed the server logic so it only updated BT device signal strength every 5000ms and the problem went away.

Save the config file as:

"configuration": {
"adapter": "hci0",
"transport": "auto",
"discoveryTimeout": 30,
"discoveryInterval": 10,
"peripherals": [ ]
},
"enabled": true,
"enableDebug": false
}
and restart Signalk.

Root is fine. Look for .signalk folder in the root "/" folder
ls /.signalk to list files if they exist.
If it's not there it might be in a subfolder under a user in the home folder. To read the home folder ls /home
For example if Victron installs SK under the signalk user the file will be located in /home/signalk/.signalk/config-plugin-data18 replies

Looks like the encryption key for the device with Mac Address DB:78:EF:5A:DB:81 is not valid.
Apr 20 19:41:43 2025-04-20T19:41:43.383Z bt-sensors-plugin-sk Unable to instantiate DB:78:EF:5A:DB:81: Invalid key length
Check the value and update the configuration.
If for some reason you can't edit the value using the configuration screen, edit the config file directly. It's located at ~/.signalk/plugin-config-data/bt-sensors-plugin-sk.json18 replies

To create a server log file, turn debug on for the plugin then from a command line execute the following:
journalctl -u signalk.service --since "today" > ~/chrisbhr-sk.log
Attach or DM the ~/chrisbhr-sk.log file so I can see if there are any errors.18 replies

Also, running on a Cerbo shouldn't make any difference.

@Chris BHR Turn on debug and send me the server log. Not sure what's going on there.
What happens when you refresh the screen? Do you see your config paths?

FWIW the plugin is agnostic when it comes to device platform. Although you would have to add a custom sensor class for your custom ESP32.
