Some sort oft bluetooth gateway possible?

[Bit-River]

I see this issue a bit, here’s how I solved it. Should give you some ideas at least:

Mi Flora plant sensor

I went a different route to solve this, and put hassbian on a Pi Zero. I didn’t run any special code versions, just checked that the MiFlora mac addresses were detected with sudo hcitool lescan Which they were without any extra settings on my part. Setup the miflora as normal on the pi zero hassbian: - platform: miflora mac: 'c4:7c:8a:6c:3b:69' force_update: true cache_value: 600 name: miflora_1 Then in my main hassio install, I used the rest sensor to get the data via th…

Bluetooth presence detection without Raspberry Pi 3

I use a Pi Zero (running Hassbian, can be raspbian) to do the job, it has built-in Bluetooth. I run a little python rest api script to listen out for any BluetoothLE devices, in my case Tile keyrings. It’s basic - just checks if the device is detectable or not. Might be of use: Some things you might need to install sudo apt-get install python3-pip libglib2.0-dev python-flask sudo pip3 install bluepy And the python script: from flask import Flask from bluepy.btle import Scanner, DefaultDel…
