Same issue here

Actually I take that back, I am pretty sure I saw that error at some point but now I've moved onto

2022-11-04 14:34:34.185 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.airthings_ble.config_flow] Unknown error occurred from B0:91:22:75:E1:2C: 'date_time'

and also there is no auto-detect working

Actually my issue seems to be related to the Generation 1 vs 2 model discussed #81498

Are you still having issues @Plampi64? Are you using a proxy?
It can fail to connect if the airthings device is already connected to something. I had this issue when developing and my phone connected to it for a longer period.

Yes, just updated 2022.11.3 and still it does not work. There are no other devices using it due this is my vacation home and there is no people there just now. After updating got different error:

Now also Logfile is empty so no error anymore visible. Of course as this is "timeout" -error, might be that there are some issue with Airthings device itself that i cannot test now from home. But it is not an "out of battery" due i have separate powersource for Airthings installed.

Unfortunately i will be next time there on new year so have to wait....

I am also having a failed to connect issue with this integration.

It's worth noting that my bluetooth stick recently failed and it's replacement arrived today. It's been intialized and all other bluetooth devices are seeing it. This was the only one having issues, so I removed the integration(s), restarted, and attempted to readd them. The non BLE one added just fine with my account info, but doesn't provide near as much info as the BLE one does.

Ok, now updated HA 2022.11.4 and original issue is back: Failed to connect.

Problem solved. SO for some odd reason unknown, many BLE devices are not seen properly anymore by HA/Rapsberry. Connections are very weak and several disconnections happen alo with devices like Xiaomi thermometers that have worked properly before. So solution to this with Airthings was to bring Airthings physically near Raspberry when installing integration and now it worked. When i installed Airthings back to it's original place (that it has been last year), connection did not work anymore. So i noved Airthings 5m more near Raspberry and now it works as it should.

Just wonder, why/which state this Bluetooth issue has started as it seems to be another type of an issue with current HA/Raspberry....
