[Errno 111] Connection refused

[Opontios]

Hi and thanks for the custom component. Although I've been struggling for quite a long time to get things done. First I couldn't connect to the device at all. After many experiments with different dongles and places they were installed I managed to have the below result:

But despite that no comands are sent to the device when calling the timebox action service and the error I'm getting is this:

What else can I try? I'm running Hass OS on a mini PC with a Asus USB-BT500 USB Bluetooth 5.0 Adapter. (Before I had tried a Ugreen CM390 USB Bluetooth 5.0 Adapter with the same result.)
Thanks in advance.

Any update?

Hello, I appreciate the work done. I have the same problem. I have HA OS and I have the same error, either with an Asus device or with the Raspberry PI 4 bluetooth . I have tried disabling the Bluetooth of the HA integration. Thank you very much.

Hello, sorry for the delay as I do not use this component on a daily basis!
Bluetooth management has changed quite a lot in Home Assistant since this component was developed, and I'm not sure the Bluetooth dongle can be used directly from a component anymore.
I'll try to investigate soon

@Opontios @DoctorSlump

FYI I just reinstalled my whole HA stack on proxmox, so I cannot be more recent than this

I'm still using my timebox mini (once again many thanks for this integration @mathoudebine !) and I didn't have anything specific to do for it to work

I even did not connect the timebox mini to the system, just launching the service "Timebox Mini action" without pairing works ! Just put the MAC address in the right field and it should work out of the box
