Blinkstick platform issue

I’ve got a few Blinkstick doing nothing and just found out they should be supported by Home Assistant.

I’ve added this to my configuration.yaml:

light:
  - platform: blinksticklight
    serial: BS001723-3.0

But the Core log shows me this:

2020-07-23 19:53:58 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.light] Error while setting up blinksticklight platform for light
Traceback (most recent call last):

    self._serial = stick.get_serial()
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'get_serial'

According to the host log my Blinkstick is connected and recognized:

There is a comment about adding udev rules, but the blinkstick command is not recognized anywhere and I’m also not sure if and where the udev rules should be added (host, superviser, etc).

Anyone has Blinksticks working on HassOS?

Did you ever get this working? I’ve noticed that my blink stick has stopped working. I don’t know if it broke from a version of HA, or upgrading to python 3.9. I retried:
sudo blinkstick --add-udev-rule

and blinkstick command line has no issue. But HA keeps throwing the same error.

To be honest, I’ve never been happy with Blinkstick. Unstable since day one.

Blinkstick in HomeAssistant isn’t compatible with Python 3.9. I’ve put in a pull request for this.

Updating the manifest to the higher version did the trick.
/srv/ha/lib/python3.9/site-packages/homeassistant/components/blinksticklight/manifest.json

I have update the manifest file, however this didn’t make any difference in my case…
Were there any additional steps involved?
