[error] the specified device at 00:1a:22:0f:07:67 has not been found yet

From time to time we get the below error in the log file:

24.03.19 14:11:40 (+0100)  nodered  24 Mar 13:11:40 - [error] the specified device at 00:1a:22:0f:07:67 has not been found yet

Rebooting didn't fix it. I got the same error.

using bluetoothctl in Host OS shell and then scan on showed the following after some time

So most likely the received signal (RSSI) is way to weak to setup a proper connection.
(the device was located in bed room ste.. and the eq-3 is located one floor lower bur...)

The strange thing is that we didn't have this issue this morning.

I have moved the raspberry pi one floor down (so the same floor as the eq3 device but in a different room = our bedroom ) and I no longer got the above issue.

using bluetoothctl in Host OS shell and then scan on showed the following after some time

So most likely the stronger received signal (RSSI) fixed the problem !
