Since release 2.10.1, an error message concerning the STB appears when starting and stopping the “Watch TV” activity.  
The STB is controlled via IR and is connected to port 2 of the blaster.

If I tap “Continue,” the activity executes perfectly.

The cause of this issue is the “Check readiness” setting within the activity, which apparently does not function correctly with IR entities. The error message no longer appears after I disable this setting.  
This issue did not exist in versions prior to 2.10.1. in those versions, all activities executed without any error messages.

I created it as bug on Github already:

This issue was already confirmed to be fixed in the next update on Discord ([Discord](https://discord.com/channels/553671366411288576/1253081788595572847/1542928038810095686)). As far as I know 2.10.1 isn’t available outside of the EU anyway and probably won’t be because of this.
