Could not connect to SSID

[bigboigahoy]

I have several Merkury bulbs (MI-BWXXX) that seem to loop during the AP step. Below is from a Merkury MI-BW904 on v1.0.1

1. Make sure the devices are nearby enough to each other
2. Try running with the -r parameter if you're not already

This is an issue with NetworkManager not able to fully connect it appears

I moved the devices closer and I still have the same issue. I was able to get some of the bulbs working correctly, it seems the MI-BW904 is giving me problems specifically. I was using the -r parameter as well.

Edit: I got quite a few of them to work. I am down to 4 bulbs that have this error. All the same model, the Merkury MI-BW904.

Edit 2: I put the device directly next to my Raspberry Pi 4 and I still get the same error.

Edit 3: All 4 of the devices left are the Merkury MI-BW904 (BK7231T). 3 of them are on v1.0.1, while 1 of them is on v1.2.3 . Strange these aren't working given there was another 904 in the mix that did work on a higher firmware.

Edit 4: I went into a VNC session and can see the Pi is connected to the bulbs AP after the script fails.

Edit 5: I had one more light with the same model Merkury MI-BW904 (BK7231T) on v 1.0.10 and that one worked. Anything on v1.0.1 goes through the AP loop and then this error.

The same issue with Hombli_HBSS-0209-Smart-Socket-B2030248-Energy-Plug.
FW version 1.0.2.
Tried different WLAN adapters (Broadcom and Realtek), issue happens on both of them.

I wonder if there is a firmware bug that effects these. I have had success with numerous other devices as well as the same device, just not this specific firmware.

Edit: I did get a different error:
Found access point name: "Merkury-B789", trying to connect... Error: Connection activation failed: (11) 802.1X supplicant took too long to authenticate.
