ECONNREFUSED Error when attempting to connect to devices

[MTXgames]

Hello! This is my first time posting about a support issue, and I'm still heavily in the learning process here with home automation, so bear with me. Currently, I've been working on getting my tuya wifi bulbs from feit electric to connect to my openhab system. I feel like I'm VERY close to getting it all good to go, but this is my last hurdle I'm not sure how to get working properly. When I start up tuya-mqtt.js, things seem relatively fine, however when i try to switch the lightbulb on/off using the basicUI from the items and sitemap i configured, this is the debug error I get from tuya-mqtt.js:

From what this looks like, I think the bulb is refusing a connection with the tuya-mqtt for some reason? Is there a step I missed or did i incorrectly program something? all my bulbs are no longer configured to any tuya-related app. I had to do tuya-cli link along with the tuya developer instructions to get the localkeys. They seem to be connected to my wifi fine i believe since they're not blinking... I did have to specifically run that on a seperate computer from the machine OpenHAB is currently running on, as it's important to note my system has ethernet connection only. Since that was an issue getting localkeys, could that be an issue here as well?

If there's any other details you need I'm happy to provide them! I'm still brand new at all of this, and new to linux as well, so there's a lot i'm trying to learn on the fly, and I wouldn't be surprised if this was caused by some mistake down the line. I think I Xed out all the private info, but if i missed something let me know as well. Regardless, thank you for your patience!

Took a quick look at the mqtt script and it looks like it's using quite an old version of TuyAPI. I would recomend changing the version of TuyAPI in package.json to 5.3.1 and see if that fixes your issue. If you continue to have problems and think that it might be the mqtt script's fault and not TuyAPI, please open an issue over there.

Yeaah, I changed the version but unfortunately I still have the same issue. At least this can narrow it down a little bit! Thank you!

Ok, if you want any further help debugging let me know.

Trying to update tuya-mqtt after all this time since it still seems to have some users out there. I've bumped to the latest TuyAPI, but I still see the ECONNREFUSED seemingly randomly during startup. It happens on different devices each time and I can't really figure it out as usually the next attempt works. I'll probably just put something in the code to try again in the case that the connection fails.
