RTL_433 - unable to add/use protocols above 223

Hello everyone.

Given HAOS running on PI4. Everything working fine:

Home Assistant 2023.9.0

Supervisor 2023.09.2

Operating System 10.5

Frontend 20230906.1 - latest

Installed RTL_433 repository from GitHub - pbkhrv/rtl_433-hass-addons: Collection of Home Assistant add-ons that use rtl_433

Installed RTL_433 add-on, rebooted the system. Everything comes back online, no errors in the supervisor log.

RTL_433 starts and this is the log output

There is one file rtl_433.conf.template created at /config/rtl_433/ directory with following content:

# This is an empty template for configuring rtl_433. mqtt information will be

Now, when I add a single line

protocol 245

Add-on stops loading and throws an error. It does not load if I enable any protocol above 223.

The fact that it does not allow any protocol above 223 is hintend by the log entry from the default config:

[rtl_433] Registered 176 out of 223 device decoding protocols

How do I make protocols above 223 work?

I have ThermoPro TX-2C sensors that need (according to the documentation’s sample config file) the protocol 245

Sample file, line 474

Thanks
