Bluetooth command failed (code: 3, error: Attribute can't be written)

[carbolymer]

I'm getting similar error to drndos/mikettle-ha#3 (comment) in my HA. So I went further and I'm trying to troubleshoot the root cause.

I'm trying to run demo.py but I'm getting the following error:

$ python demo.py connect AB:CD:EF:12:34:56 275

@djmalin, how did you fix your your issue?
Any ideas what might be wrong?
