Ziggo / UPC: Invalid start byte

[DevSecNinja]

The problem

The Ziggo / UPC Connect integration throws the following error. Could be Ziggo changed something in their Connect Box?

It is covered by https://github.com/home-assistant-ecosystem/python-connect-box/pull/32 Can you check if this fix works for you?

Thanks, that could be it! Appreciate you've looked into it! I'm not using the integration myself and I can't easily access that instance. Therefore, my opening post was also quite limited. Hope someone else can test it. I can definitely test it if it gets released because I can ask to update HA to the latest version.

I would like to test this, but can you explain how do I implement / change this, or is it in a feature release in HA?

Same problem here in Austria with Magenta

[fabaff]

I can say with the issue for Austria will be addressed with 0.3.1 as I don't have access to such a device.

I'm getting the same error (Slovakia UPC)
