Cannot connect to Smart Switch

[measwel]

Good day,

The device shows up in the scan. The local key has been fetched with the wizard.

enlarger Product ID = keyjup78v54myhan [Valid Broadcast]: Address = 192.168.51.246 Device ID = bfadddf28e43521d4c7man (len:22) Local Key = xxxxxxxxx Version = 3.3 Type = default, MAC = 10:5a:17:dc:fd:32 Status: {'1': True, '9': 0, '18': 0, '19': 0, '20': 2346, '21': 1, '22': 610, '23': 30696, '24': 17327, '25': 2410, '26': 0, '38': 'memory', '39': False, '40': 'relay', '41': False, '42': '', '43': '', '44': ''}

I read through all the issues concerning 901 connection errors, but not found a solution.

DEBUG:ERROR Network Error: Unable to Connect - 901 - payload: null DEBUG:status() received data={'Error': 'Network Error: Unable to Connect', 'Err': '901', 'Payload': None}

I have 2 clues.

1 : the core.py throws an error:

File "...\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312\Lib\site-packages\tinytuya\core.py", line 1009, in _get_socket if self.version >= 3.4: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ TypeError: '>=' not supported between instances of 'str' and 'float'

2 : maybe other active connections are blocking access to the device?

I have a smart life app on my phone which shows the device. Disconnecting the device in the app does not work. When I disconnect without wiping data, the switch still loses its wifi settings. I have to repair it in the app to get it to show on the wifi network again.

Just closing the smart life app on the phone also does not help. Could it be, because other home members also have that app on their phone and are possibly making a connection? If so, how should I solve that? Should I remove the device from all the smart life apps?

Thank you.

So I do not know how to make sure no other active connections are present.
