rbfeeder logs "Type not identified" on every 60-second statistics update #232

Description

@FormelLMS

Specifications

Image hash or version: (latest, add-on version 2.6.1.1 via MaxWinterstein/homeassistant-addons wrapper)
Platform: Home Assistant OS 18.2, Raspberry Pi 4 (aarch64)
Subsystem: Docker via HAOS Supervisor

Expected Behavior

Unclear — raising this mainly to understand what this log line means, since it's undocumented as far as I can find.

Actual Behavior

Every ~60 seconds, immediately after the regular statistics block, rbfeeder logs "Type not identified.":

[radarbox-feeder] [2026-08-03 13:01:46] ******** Statistics updated every 60 seconds ********
[radarbox-feeder] [2026-08-03 13:01:46] Packets sent in the last 60 seconds: 9086, Total packets sent since startup: 9086
[radarbox-feeder] [2026-08-03 13:01:46] Data sent: 523.2 KB
[radarbox-feeder] [2026-08-03 13:01:46] Data received: 38 B
[radarbox-feeder] [2026-08-03 13:01:48] Type not identified.

This repeats consistently on every statistics cycle over hours of runtime. Packet counts and data sent continue to grow steadily and the feeder otherwise appears to work normally (connection established, key accepted, station serial assigned), so this doesn't appear to break anything functionally, but it's unclear what it's referring to (aircraft type? receiver type? something else?) and whether it indicates any data loss.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Enable SERVICE_ENABLE_RADARBOX=true with a valid RADARBOX_SHARING_KEY
  2. Watch the rbfeeder log output for a few minutes

Question

Could you clarify what "Type not identified" refers to, and whether it's expected/harmless? Since rbfeeder itself is closed-source, this isn't something I can debug further on my own — happy to provide more log context if useful.
