The problem

Hi there,

I try to add a second Bosch SHC (in my parent's house). Trying to add it in my existing integration fails with "wrong password or no pairing mode". Both is wrong. Isn't this integration desingned to use more than one controller? (Both controllers are version I )

Issue Confirmation

I've encountered an issue where, upon adding a second Smart Home Controller (SHC) to the same subnet, the first one fails. Interestingly, configuring the second SHC initially seemed to work partly—I was able find the device entity. However, it shortly began to report "wrong password or no pairing mode" errors and ceased to function.

I'm eager to assist in troubleshooting this issue further. As someone with a background in Linux and DevOps, I'm happy to provide any additional information that might help resolve this problem.

I seem to be having a similar issue. After adding my second controller, the first one failed with the status message "failed to set up: could not authenticate". I re-authenticated the first one, and now after a few days the second one fails again.

It seems as if both controllers use the same location to store the auth token and therefore the last authenticated one always overrides the other.
