not upgrading to Version 0.0.9 seems to be stuck at 0.0.7

[ajd-tech]

I am running HA in a Container, but everything else seems good.

[rrooggiieerr]

There is no version 0.0.9 yet of the HA integration, however there is a 0.0.8 beta release which contains the latest benqprojector library with the changes required for your projector. You have to enable beta releases in HACS to be able to install this release.

https://hacs.xyz/docs/faq/beta/

I got the 0.0.8 version installed, unfortunately I got the following error in the HA log

Could you change the manifest.json to use benqprojector==0.0.12.1 as the dependency?

[ajd-tech]

Made the change the Manifest.json.

I ran through the setup and now I get this error in HA "Error
Config flow could not be loaded: 500 Internal Server Error Server got itself in trouble" and won't go further

[rrooggiieerr]

Make sure you've got all quotes and commas in the JSON right. This is what mine looks like:

ya I don't remember putting 121 in Json just 12 but missing the "." seems to have casused it

Ii released a net testing version of the library, could you change the version to 0.0.12.2 and try again?

[ajd-tech]

This error happens on a totally different place in the code and I don't understand how that canhappen if you have already configured your projector.

Do you use a different serial to USB controller or other USB port since you've configured your projector in HA?
