json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

[SmatMan]

Whenever I try to run py homeScript.py -l or any other command, I get the error json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0). More specifically, the error is:

Seems to be working fine on version 4.0 but not version 5.

Please attach debug files.

See Note in the readme

Note: as of HomeScript 4.1 the minimum requirement is Python3+ and HomeBridge 1.x.x+

Please check your HomeBridge and Python versions

[SmatMan]

Both my HomeBridge and Python versions are sufficient.

Debug files:
homescript_exception_2021.01.03.log
homescript_debug_2021.01.03.log

[menahishayan]

Try on v5.1.1.

Note that hs.py -l is currently buggy. Append a listing type with it such as: hs.py -l type or hs.py -l json

also getting this error with python3 and latest homekit:

$~/homebridge-automation $ python3 hs.py -l json

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
