H6181 doesn’t work by Bluetooth

[mirgopa]

Hello! I can’t connect to my H6181 LED strip by Bluetooth. The device is in HomeKit but I can’t turn on/off anyway (seems they don’t have connection).
The first problem that I had was with the abandonware Bluetooth lib, but I followed the “common error” section and installed the bluetooth-hci-socket in the plugin directory which I think solve the issue.

I have homebridge installed by apt in a orange-pi with Ubuntu Jammy (22.04.4 LTS) and I’m using homebridge-ui (v4.56.1) with all the newest versions.

• Homebridge [v1.7.0]
• Homebridge-govee [v10.5.0] (but now I’m trying with v10.4.1-beta.4 to see more details in logs)
• Homebridge Node [v20.12.1]

My system also is up to date by apt upgrade.

My last log after restart the HB was:

I’m stuck with this problem… I can’t do work properly.
Thanks for your support.
