Cannot seem to get connection #29

Hi, I have the Elro K1 and tried to get it connected to Home Assistant via the HACS approach. After installation I not I trying to get it configured, but I cannot get it to work.

I enter the IP address of the K1 connector (found it in my pfSense setup).
It seems to me that the connector ID is created by prefixing "ST_" to the mac address of the K1 connector. This also makes it quite easy to find the device in the router.

The HA is in the same IP range as the K1 connector. both 192.168.10.x . As pfsense is not blocking any LAN traffic, this should not be any issue.

However, I get an error "Maken van de verbinding mislukt" every time I try to setup the Elro Connects integration.

I tried both approaches:

  1. filling in the IP address and the username/password (leaving other fields as-is. e.g. the port is default 1025)
  2. filling in the IP address and the Connector ID (ST_xxxxx), leaving other fields as-is (no username/password) In both scenario's cases the API key is not populated by me. After a while a get the mentioned error message.

Because of this issue, i completely removed the Elro package from HACS and reinstalled it, to test it again. Same results. I observe no issues in the log of HA, only a warning that the custom integration elro_connects has not been tested by Home Assistant (which is pretty normal).

running HA on VMWare (in Unraid)

How can I debug my issue and find a solution?

embarrassing but it seems like to firewall of the Deco M5 actually caused the issue. It is solved now.
