Hi, I have problem with monitor. I’ve followed instalation guide and I was able to setup monitor.sh on my unused Pi 3B+. I’ve added my and wifes phones, configured Home assistant with sensors and input booleans. At first I thought it worked, because when started, monitor sucessfully found both phones and set confidence level to 100, which resulted in both input_booleans being turned on (so far so good).
Unfortunately, mqtt commands are not working. I want to use mqtt triggers, but without any success. I’ve checked logs, I’ve run monitor with -V flag. I’ve tried sending mqtt messages from HA and external mqtt clients - nothing works (but monitor is connected to mqtt, because it updates sensors one time in HA after start).
I’ve tried echo, adding new device, triggering arrive and departure - nothing works. Monitor isn’t logging anything, it’s just like there were no messages at all.
Please help?
Seems like a problem more people are reporting. I don’t know why, but it made a difference for me to add the -a flag that reports all changes. When I did that I suddenly saw the mqtt messages appearing in the logs. Worth a try I guess.
Unfortunately did not help 
So I think I got it up running well now. Installed the script above to look for lock ups thru cron. At the moment though, it pretty much never detects my OnePlus 6T. It gets it every now and then but then loses it again. I have had it with screen on right next to the Pi. It detects my wife’s Pixel 3a doing well.
Any ideas here? I thought about resetting my OnePlus 6T to see if that helps?
What does your PREF_PASS_FILTER_MANUFACTURER_ARRIVE look like?
It is empty. Should I call out my phone and my wife’s? I can do -V to see what it’s called?
Today it has been doing very well I will keep monitoring. History in the device_tracker tells me it’s history so I can compare with my wife when she’s home.
You can check the log/console output of monitor to see what’s going on. The fine tuning guide is also going to be helpful here.
How do I pull the log? Does it create a straight log? I suspect monitor is doing its job, just maybe one OnePlus isn’t always broadcasting it? I just updated it here (phone) I will see if that does anything.
Thanks for the help. I plan to donate for th cause here. Where can I do that?
How you grab the log depends on how you’re running it, but journalctl -f -u monitor may work. Failing that, just stop the service and use the command in the link.
Yes that works, but shows the same information that I get when I do the bash and watch. Anything I should be looking for? I also noticed for sure that it doesn’t work when I connect my bluetooth headphones to my phone. I guess the OnePlus 6T stops broadcasting. I suspect this is a 6T issue more than anything… I do have it running well on my Pi Zero now which is awesome. Ran for a few days now without any restarting using your script for checking if it is running. Grabbed a 3 B+ on ebay for cheap, I was considering that, you think that would be a good idea?
For now, I have 2 profiles, one for monitor and one for my router, so it checks both of these to confirm our location. I mainly wanted this to detect when I get home faster so the lights can be on. If it was good enough, maybe even open my garage, but that is not looking likely… Lol
Edit - when I run the bash again it does find my OnePlus 6T with headphones connected… Again, I think this is a 6T issue maybe.
Basically, you’re looking to see if your phone is detected. I’d agree with your summary though, this does sounds like a 6T issue 
Do you guys have a place to donate?
Would the RP 3B have less WiFi interference where I can scan more often? Or is it more a function of the messages sent? Some guy shave 4 zeros and I was like, that has to be worse than scanning faster but I was getting some interference at faster scans.
Bluetooth will interfere with 2.4 GHz WiFi, that’s just physics.
So that in general is just one of the downsides here on using this scanner I guess eh? Definitely gives me a good secondary, I was hoping it would detect me faster than my home WIFI was. Either way, I am happy with it. Is there a coffee buying link or anything? Haha
Thanks

Hello folks,
Think I’m being an idiot. That’s usually the case when I can’t figure something out for myself!
I’m @ version 0.2.197 on a rPi3B+ running nothing but monitor (eclipse mosquitto running in docker on another machine). Been happily using monitor since maybe July without issue.
I run with options: -x -r -a -b (I’ve just put in some xiaomi door sensors so will be switching to node-red-controlled arrival/departure scanning at some point in the near future.
I’ve recently (last two weeks) turned on the “-b” option as I’ve picked up some Tile trackers.
The problem:
There is one bloody public beacon with random MACs that I just can’t seem to correctly blacklist (I presume - but this could be a wrong presumption - that one of the purposes of address_blacklist is to prevent topics being published for stuff you are not interested in); so I keep getting this published MQTT topic: monitor/home/E2C56DB5-DFFB-48D2-B060-D0F5A71096E0-0-0
I’ve put this in address_blacklist along with as many of the MACs that I’ve so far found in association with it when trawling through the log (greping for BEAC), but it keeps reappearing and I’m tearing my hair out.
My address_blacklist contains this line (and one for each random beacon MAC i’ve so far put in):
E2C56DB5-DFFB-48D2-B060-D0F5A71096E0-0-0
This is the offending article extracted from the log:

Is it even possible to get rid of it (stop monitor from publishing the beacon UUID+random MACs to new topics)?
What am I missing/doing wrong?
How do I get this automatically running at startup with the -b option?
Thanks
Create a startup script to make it do that 
This is my systemd unit file, in /etc/system/systemd/monitor.service
[Unit]
Description=Monitor Service
After=network.target
[Service]
User=root
ExecStart=/bin/bash /opt/monitor/monitor.sh -x -b -tdr &
WorkingDirectory=/opt/monitor
Restart=always
RestartSec=10
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target network.target
monitor is installed in /opt/monitor - if you installed it elsewhere change that part accordingly. Change the flags to suit you.
There’s an easier way, just run the bash script with all the flags you want and add “-u” to the end. This way the monitor script will update the systemd file. So your case would be “sudo bash monitor.sh -x -u”, that’s it.
