Check config stuck on loop

[Poker1410]

Hi all
I have Hass.io (64bit) installed on a RaspberryPi 4 8GB (32bit is not available on 8GB).
I am trying to install the sonoff component but I am having problems with the configuration.yaml file.

As soon as I add to the config.yaml the sonoff lines, as per below, hassio's check config sits there and "thinks" with the spinning circle.
If I comment the sonoff component in the config.yaml the check config gives me green light immediately.
This makes me say that it is an issue with the sonoff config...?
The .py files are saved, as per instructions, in custom_components/sonoff.

Restarting the raspberrypi is not an option because otherwise Hassio does not start anymore (I guess it is because it is trying to check config.yaml and gets "stuck"). hassio does not give any errors in the log.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

@kocsis-antal , where do I put in the pip3 install uuid command?
On the terminal? I am able to log into ha host but I get "command not found" as root on the host.
Am I missing some option for a terminal "inside" ha?
