Hi, i can not add the strip, it runs into a timeout while trying to connect.

Strip: https://amzn.eu/d/hCpoa3l (Ailbton 10m BT Neon Strip) Home Assistant: Supervisor 2023.10.0 @OS 10.5 running on x86 Intel NUC BT: tried onboard BT, external USB BT 5.0 and 5.3 Adapters.

The Integration does find the Strip:

But fails to connect:

Same like #45

Hi, The integration does not manage the connections , this error is throws from the bleak library (https://pypi.org/project/bleak/) it is possible to be distance error , or strip is connected to other device, or the strip staying blocked (try turn off, turn on), or something similar, but integration is not the problem

May be too and issue from bleak library, you need to investigate it

Hi,

• distance cant be an issue, the rssi is at -45, its right next to the bt stick.
• the strip is not paired to any device
• i unplugged/plugged the strip multiple times
• i reset the strip
• i have no issues with other bt addins uding bleak

I had a similar problem with an LED strip when I used weak USB power. I connected it to a more powerful power supply and everything worked out.

Great, thanks for your information and share your solution

@ehspill can you try it??

[ehspill]

tried with bench power supply, no difference, same voltage and currennt drawn.

e: ill try tomorrow with a 24v 10a charger again

[ehspill]
