Hi,
I’m using the iBeacon Tracker integration through the onboard Bluetooth on my RPi 3.
I did set up evetyhing and my Nuki and BLE beacon (Blue Charm) worked flawlessly. After a week, both devices disappeared from the integration. I had to reinstall the integration. Rebooted the system. All ok.
A week later… same thing happened again! Had to reinstall.
Today, my Nuki lock is not showing up. It’s working well. Because I can see both devices from my phone with the KBeacon scanner app. I’m afraid the beacon will disappear soon too.
Any ideas? Only thing I can think of is buying an external USB dongle.
Thanks!
Little update. It seems the Bluetooth chip on the Pi is having problems:
I googled that problem and end up here:

It looks like some other folks are struggling with the same issue. Even with new USB dongles. So I’m stuck
Hope someone can shed some light.
