Plejd Add-ons stops communicating with Bluetooth USB

[TompaNation]

Hi

I have got some issues with my new Home Assistant Yellow PoE. Or rather I have got some issuse with my new Avantree DG40S USB Bluetooth 4.0. I’m using the Plejd Add-ons and this has not been a issue with my old settup with a rpi 4 with built-in WiFi/Bluetooth.
The issue is that everything works fine for a couple of hours and then the Plejd Add-ons can’t communicate with the DG40S USB Bluetooth.
I added the log from the Plejd Add-ons.
But I really just want to know if more people have or had the same issue?
And if anyone has a solution for this?

I had the exact same issue, kept trying to reconnect and not able to create any stable Bluetooth connection.

Should have saved the logs, but managed to get my entire home assistant rolled back to before Feb 14th (apparently I did an update of something then) and everything started working again.

My guess is something in this Plejd add-on doesn't want to play nice with the new Bluetooth functionality in HA, but have no basis for that claim..

i have the same issue, have tried with multiple bluetooth devices and they all seem to work for the first 60 seconds and then the reconnection starts:

These are always tricky. If you don't solve it, I suggest following the troubleshooting instructions, increasing the log level and uploading/linking a full log (formatted a bit easier to read), maybe someone can help. Also posting as code rather than text helps...

From the log above, the only odd thing I can see is the log line

WRN [plejd-ble] Write error indicates BLE is disconnected. Retry count 5. Reconnecting... 

I don't think I ever get write errors on my system... Maybe the BLE adapter is too far away from a Plejd device to get a good connection?
