Trying to connect to Avi-On Bluetooth Plug

[ssimon2715]

I looked all over the internet for a way to control my smart/dumb Avi-On Bluetooth Plugs and I am very glad I found your work.
I was wondering if you could help me out, I can't seem to get connected when I run connect().
I get an error that says bluepy.btle.BTLEException: Failed to connect to peripheral 28:fd:80:82:06:11, addr type: public

Here is an hcidump of when I run the script, if that helps:

Thanks a lot.

Is there any other device (such as your phone) connected to the plug when you're trying this? I'm afraid I haven't tested against a plug, only a dimmer switch.
