 nyx crashes on startup on an ALARM system running on an v5 type
 architecture (Feroceon 88FR131).

 Python is 3.6.4 and the traceback is as follows:

 Exception in thread Thread-5:

 Seems to be 3.6 related as I cannot reproduce it on a box running 3.5.

 More than happy to provide more details - just let me know.
