I’m setting up some Eve Motion Blinds using bluetooth/thread and the HomeKit device integration. Right now I have 8 of my blinds connected and working perfectly but when I try to add the 9th, I get the following error:
An unhandled error occurred while attempting to pair with this device. This may be a temporary failure or your device may not be supported currently: Eve MotionBlinds E225 (FE:41:98:BD:5C:2C) - FE:41:98:BD:5C:2C: Failed to connect: No backend with an available connection slot that can reach address FE:41:98:BD:5C:2C was found: The proxy/adapter is out of connection slots; Add additional proxies near this device
Is 8 devices the limit per BT adapter? If I add another adapter, will it get me more slots? That seems really low if that is the limit.
7 Devices is the limit for active connections, you can pair more but 7 is the magic number for active connections. So if you got 8 to connect thats unusual but may be the result of them not being “active” all the time
Reminds me of DECT phones, limit was 6 but 7-8 would work at times. Till they hard coded it in their base stations.
If you are using a proxie you should prob lower the connection to 7 to be safe.
