LMS Timeout error

Configuration
1

I have HA running on one RaspberryPI and Lyrion Music Server running on another. There are many errors in the HA log like this:

2025-03-14 11:09:42.716 ERROR (MainThread) [pysqueezebox.server] Failed communicating with LMS(http://192.168.0.18:9000/jsonrpc.js): <class 'TimeoutError'>

By the way LMS is ok when I use it via Home Assistant.

How can I avoid all these errors in the log file?

Hello elle2,

I don’t thibnk anyone has enough information to answer your question. I’m even conbfused what is broken myself…

Please read over the site FAQ again and try to clarify what your configuration is and what problem you are having. The error is saying something is timing out, but that’s notmuch help, I know…

Well, I’ll try to be a bit clearer.
On a raspberry pi with RaspberryPi OS there is HA Core 2025.3.2 running in a docker container. This raspberry pi is wired to home LAN.
On a second raspberry pi with RaspberryPi OS there is LMS running directly on os (no container) This second raspberry pi is also wired to home LAN.
Normally everything works fine.
But the HA log reports several errors like this:

This error sequence repeats itself multiple times in the log file. What can I check to better understand what happened?

My search found the Squeezebox authors with a current post, if that helps. Poll : New Actions for Lyrion/Squeezebox integration

The line about homeassistant.components.squeezebox.coordinator is telling you the central tasks which gathers data on the status of the squeezebox on a polling basis from the LMS is failing. It’s just an http call from HA to the LMS. So, it’s looking like just a general network comms problem between your HA server and the LMS.
