Anyone knows why this is happening? My app crashes some times on this (not very often), But I don’t understand why the device is not found when I’m calling its method setStoreValue, clearly it exists as I’m using its method…

This usually happens when you update a device (in your case using `setStoreValue()`) from a timer (`setInterval/setTimeout`) or event handler when the device was deleted by the user (in which case any timers and event listeners should be removed to prevent the issue from happening).

The device _instance_ will still exist (hence the ability to call `setStoreValue`), but any underlying SDK methods will likely fail.

This is very logical, also why I’m not seeing this a lot. Thanks!
