homebridge: Error: dns service error: name conflict

I’m running homebridge on raspberry pi 3 B

How do I fix this?

`/usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge/node_modules/mdns/lib/advertisement.js:56 dns_sd.DNSServiceRegister(self.serviceRef, flags, ifaceIdx, name, ^

Error: dns service error: name conflict at Error (native) at new Advertisement (/usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge/node_modules/mdns/lib/advertisement.js:56:10) at Object.create [as createAdvertisement] (/usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge/node_modules/mdns/lib/advertisement.js:64:10) at Advertiser.startAdvertising (/usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge/node_modules/hap-nodejs/lib/Advertiser.js:43:30) at Bridge.Accessory._onListening (/usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge/node_modules/hap-nodejs/lib/Accessory.js:526:20) at emitOne (events.js:96:13) at HAPServer.emit (events.js:188:7) at HAPServer._onListening (/usr/lib/node_modules/homebridge/node_modules/hap-nodejs/lib/HAPServer.js:185:8) at emitOne (events.js:96:13) at EventedHTTPServer.emit (events.js:188:7)`

Any ideas?
