It works for me. Did you configure the re-connect interval accordingly? Note that the default re-connect interval is 30 seconds so you might be to impatient (or want to tweak the interval). It may run into "Connection refused" if Syncthing doesn't come up quick enough. When using the internal launcher¹ or Systemd-integration the error can be suppressed in this case by setting a grace period in the notification settings. Otherwise you cannot avoid the error except by disabling those errors completely.

¹ Maybe restarting Syncthing via the API - as the "Restart Syncthing" action does - does not count as restart when using the internal launcher because Syncthing's monitoring process is actually nevertheless constantly running. Then the "Connection refused" error also cannot be suppressed.

Maybe I should tweak default settings to disable showing notifications for this kind of error by default (as it cannot be suppressed reliably in all cases).
