When using the BLE component the BLE devices are successfully found and added to known_devices.yaml but the component has an incredible impact on HASS performance. It takes about 10 seconds to turn on a light and automation randomly won’t trigger.
There is one issue existing but it is about missing root privileges and the performance impact is mentioned but the issue itself is closed.
Do you guys have any solution for that? Is there another way to have presence detection working with BLE devices?
Exactly the same issue i’m facing. After enabling the BT LE component my RPi3 came down to a crawl. Switching anything on or off takes almost 5-6 seconds.
Furhtermore. On a clean install of raspbian running
sudo hcitool lescan - reported all the MiBands within range.
After following the instructions from the Bluetooth LE component page (below) i can no longer see MiBands by running hcitool lescan!!!
How can that be?!
sudo apt install bluetooth libbluetooth-dev pkg-config libboost-python-dev libboost-thread-dev libglib2.0-dev python-dev
The issue is still open on GitHub.
Is there any progress with solving the issue?
The component is unusable at the moment due to huge impact on RPI3 performance.
