Bluetooth LE Tracker issues

[guy0nabuffalo (Drewski)]

Is this solution still working well for you? I’m looking at buying a tile to attach on my dogs collar.

Yep, working just fine since last year

Hi

i’m having some issues that this stops working after a while
i run
sudo bash monitor.sh -b
but i think it stops when i close my ssh client.
it also gives me some false “aways” for a few seconds.

anyone care to share their config files?

sudo bash monitor.sh -b is a foreground command and thus closing your ssh client terminates all tasks attached to that login session. You’d have to install the command as a service and enable it so it runs in background. Once the service is enabled it will automatically start at bootup. After installing/enabling the service, systemctl start [service_name], or reboot…

I am stuck here…

9. Edited configuration.yaml to add a new device tracker:

I’m not seeing device_tracker.feasy_beacon in HA…

device_tracker:
 - platform: mqtt
   devices:
     feasy_beacon: 'presence/raspi-pi-1/DC:0D:30:03:51:2D/device_tracker'
