## Describe the bug
There are places in the codebase where exception handling is too generic, such as with `except Exception` or bare `except:` blocks. This practice can hide unexpected errors and complicate debugging and maintenance.
Below is a concrete example found in the codebase where a generic exception handler is used:
---
**Example: Bare except block in Hilo class**
[custom_components/hilo/__init__.py](https://github.com/dvd-dev/hilo/blob/f8cd20a620201f02ed9611d76a829adff56fbcd1/custom_components/hilo/__init__.py#L381-L392)
```python
try:
...
except Exception as e:
LOG.error("Error in websocket handler %s: %s", handler_name, e)
LOG.error(traceback.format_exc())
```
**Other similar cases may be present in the codebase.** Please consider refactoring these blocks to handle only the appropriate exceptions explicitly.
---
Improving exception handling will make the codebase more robust and easier to debug and maintain.
