Could you please run the command line tool
eq3cli --mac 00:AE:A9:E5:68:C7 --debug
and open an issue in the python-eq3bt repo, together with the output from above. Not sure what the reason for this is, but if it is a bug or incompatibility, it needs to be addressed there. What device name shows up if you do a Bluetooth scan? Is it CC-RT-BLE-EQ, or another model?
