Integrating Xiaomi Mi Scale

Third party integrations

@lolouk44 Just a small question about your docker container. I’m using multiple USB dongles with usb-cable extensions to cover to floors with bluetooth. Is it configurable, wich hci device is used by the container? Or does it simply scan with all bluetooth dongles?

367

At the moment it takes hci0 by default.
I’ve not yet looked at multiple devices yet but can’t see why it can’t be done…

368

Ah, okay, thanks for the information. Is it possible to make it configurable? That would it make possible for me to pick the Bluetooth dondle near to the scale.

369

Time is a bit of a luxury for me at the mo but I’ll look into it

Thanks a lot, that would be great!

371

Can you do me a favour and open a new issue on my repo?
I have made a change that I need your help with to test

372

Great, sure! That was really quick :slight_smile:
I just opened an issue: https://github.com/lolouk44/xiaomi_mi_scale/issues/19
It will take a few days to test as I’m on a business trip right now.

0.1.4 is out with the ability to select a specific hci device

378

Do I have any takers in testing an add-on?
I don’t run hass.io Home Assistant so can’t test…

Thanks. I should have known it would not be so easy :wink:
I’ve got a spare Pi3 that I’ll use to install hass.io to test.
Also looking to use the options to use a pre-built docker image instead of a dockerfile that needs to be built.
Watch this space…

Hi @Brian_Mollegaard_Ped
Thanks for trying earlier on.
I think we’re now ready :slight_smile:

I’ve installed hass.io on a spare Pi3
All appears to be working fine.
For now it’s a local build, so it takes a while to build and install

I’ll update the main script/docker so it can be used from the Add-On as well (so I only need to maintain 1 set of scripts :roll_eyes:)

Let me know if it works for you…

Sounds good!
I’ll test it out this evening! :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi, nice work ! I’m using the script on a pi zero and run it with ./wrapper.sh. I get a permission denied error:
Bluetooth connection error: Failed to execute management command ‘le on’ (code: 20, error: Permission Denied)

How do I allow the pi user access to bluetooth ?

That’s probably insufficient permissions for bluepy-helper. Try the commands below, worked fine for me.

cd ~/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/bluepy

sudo setcap 'cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin+eip' bluepy-helper
