Same problem here. I think the repository is wrong though. You probably should duplicate the issue to https://github.com/hass-agent/HASS.Agent/issues

I mentioned this in another issue but wanted to add it here for anyone who sees this. https://github.com/LAB02-Research/HASS.Agent/issues/441#issuecomment-3309068922

This program has been forked and this has been fixed IN THE BETA. See this comment if you want more info. https://github.com/hass-agent/HASS.Agent/issues/43#issuecomment-2349373416 and the patch notes from the beta1 release. https://github.com/hass-agent/HASS.Agent/releases/tag/2.2.0-beta1

Just make sure to use the beta version 2 as there was a crash in beta1. https://github.com/hass-agent/HASS.Agent/releases/tag/2.2.0-beta2

I have been using the stable version for a while (just updated to beta2) and have had no issues.
