Log Warning: `attempted to call BleakClient with an address instead of a BLEDevice`

[ScottG489]

Just noticed in my logs this warning message:

Detected integration that attempted to call BleakClient with an address instead of a BLEDevice. Please report issue to the custom integration author for basestation using this method at custom_components/basestation/switch.py, line 71: async with BleakClient(self.get_ble_device()) as client:

Here's the offending code:
https://github.com/jariz/homeassistant-basestation/blob/master/custom_components/basestation/switch.py#L71

At first glance it does look like we're calling it correctly, but perhaps the data is actually wrong?

this problem goes so bad, it had completly hard-locked my homeassistant container. I could not stop/kill the container, i could not restart the docker service, i count not reboot the system normally. i had to hard-reset the host machine. Luckly the disk was not corrupted.
I then had trouble getting homeassistant to start up again ("homeasisstant is already running"). I think a few docker stop and docker startsomehow worked.
I used docker logs homeassistant and got constant repeated spam of lines like this:

(replaced MAC Adresses with <MAC1> etc.)
I had to disable the extension to avoid another lockup
