Hmmm I seem to have noticed some side effects, caused by either the Bluetooth LE tracker actually working or by executing sudo setcap cap_net_raw+eip /srv/hass/hass_venv/bin/python3:
- loading HASS UI became alot slower
- toggling switches was only effective after 10-15 seconds (e.g. switching off a light), same with executing a script
- my HASS log file got spammed with connection errors and timeouts (AsusWRT and Chromecast components)
- automations were randomly no longer triggering
I tried restarting HASS and also my RPi 3 several times, to no avail. Finally I ran the command sudo setcap -r /srv/hass/hass_venv/bin/python3 to undo the command above, and I rebooted my RPi 3 once more. Since then I’ve noticed the following so far:
- HASS UI is fast once again
- connection errors and timeouts in the log are gone
- the root-related errors in the log because of the BLE tracker are back (obviously)
When I have more time, I may test more to see if I can confirm the theory. But right now, it’s bedtime for me.
