Problem still exists, maybe its since the bluetooth upgrade in Home Assistant?

[rytilahti]

This error has been fixed upstream, but there are other issues that are not easy to solve. See rytilahti/python-eq3bt#70 for a custom component solution, which will hopefully replace the current implementation in the future.
