No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it AC2729

I have set up my AC2729 through the mobile app and now want to check the data. But I get the following error (Windows 10):

--ipaddr 192.168.178.43

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

airctrl

This is the second report for problems with AC2729. The first one was issue #89. Maybe Philips changed the communication protocol again. If anyone can debug and provide more information, that would be very helpful.

[Olgidos]

I would like to help you debug. Could you give me a small introduction on the best approach? Which function would you consider inspecting first?

Hi all,

Same problem here, getting a Connection refused error.

$ airctrl --ipaddr 192.168.88.190

Also getting the same error when trying out https://github.com/firescry/philips-air-purifier, which is based on py-air-control but looks like an independent implementation. So it seems that the protocol indeed changed.
