homebridge-switchbot: Support Request: Bot: wasn't able to establish BLE Connection, ending in endless loop

Describe Your Problem

Bot: wasn’t able to establish BLE Connection, ending in endless loop

Hi,

Please support me to get my configuration running. I am trying to connect a “Bot” via BLE but it seems the connection cannot be established. See the attached logs for the resulting error. The homebridge keeps on restarting until I e.g. change the “ble” to false. Though I don’t have a HUB present, hence I planned to use the BLE connection.
