Connecting to AC200M

[Paul-9929]

I running the python on a windows machine and can scan and fine my Bluetti device. When running the broker command it connect to my MQTT broker but then crashes. On my broker I see the connection, it is accepted by the broker, a subscription is created. Then the client disconnects.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

What version are you using? The current repository doesn't have a "\bluetti_mqtt\bluetooth_init.py"

Instead the code is found in "bluetti_mqtt/bluetooth/init.py" now.

So simply updating might do the trick.

If you used "pip install bluetti-mqtt" then use the most recent release instead:
"pip install https://github.com/warhammerkid/bluetti_mqtt/archive/refs/tags/v0.15.0.zip"

Thanks for the response I was installing using pip install bluetti-mqtt and then as you indicated i installed the latest version from the github url. But I'm still getting the same error.

Then it's probably the same problem as the macOS guys are having: Windows doesn't want to tell you the name of the device.
