Now there is a problem-a random reboot of OS HA. After upgrading to version 1.0.8, I did not attach any importance to this, however, after reinstalling the addon, the operating system rebooted again and repeats doing this randomly.

We are very sorry for the wait.  
We have now fixed the problem.  
The version of pironman has now been updated to 1.0.9.  
Uninstall the previous pironman software service.  
Refresh and reinstall the pironman software and see if it works.  
Or you can uninstall the system, reinstall the Home Assistant system, and then install our pironman software service.  
Because the home Assistant system was updated again on 2024-01-09 to home Assistant OS version 11.4.
