binary mode doesn't take an encoding argument

          Thanks for the quick response.

I still get error message but it looks different now:

After updating to v2.7.12 and restarting Home Assistant everything worked and I received all messages. Later I restarted Home Assistant and then the integration stopped working. No success in reinstalling it and restarting Home Assistant. After downgrading to v2.7.11 the integration worked again except the service read messages. I then updated to v2.7.12 again and restarted the Home Assistant and everything worked again until the next time Home Assistant was restarted. Then the integration stopped working again:

I see no error just a warning: Config entry 'Xplora®' for xplora_watch integration not ready yet; Retrying in background

I did not get any error messages just the warnings that the integration did not start. But now 2 hours later it apparently has started again. I don't now the reason for this. Maybe related to something else.

Thanks for the quick fixes!
