This is an awful lot of "fail" in one message...

This was the case for about 5 betas and I removed it, the plugin will
not create a new device or migrate HBB when installed because I wasn't sure if that was causing another startup issue where the plugin config dialog would not pop up. While it ended up not being the issue I left it out anyway for the time being.

This goes with my first response. It
did happen automatically for a couple of releases and then I took it out. It's still available in the Advanced Plugin Actions menu (and that is stated in the Wiki).

I changed it back to a switch, but it took me a little while to get the server running again going through some of the troubleshooting steps listed here.
This really does't make sense. Changing a type doesn't
do anything to Homebridge except that when it loads it re-reads the config and changes the type. So it not starting is likely something else completely unrelated. Have you tried looking at the Homebridge logs to see what may cause it to fail? Anything short of that is purely speculation. I have four of these strips, they work fine and I've also changed them from switch to outlet and have not had any such problem.

No clue why that would happen, but you can simply delete your plugin preference file (or rename it) and all of your excluded devices will be included again. Judging from the first line in your screenshot you have some really odd device in there that may be causing it. Do you have a device named like that, a GUID, in your system?
