BLEDevice.h dependency on hassio

[fregattegh]

Hi, I am on the latest home assistant (2021.10.6) on linux / hassio.

The integration was running smoothly the last 2 years or so.

Since some time I can`t update / compile RadonEye-ESP32.

"In file included from src/main.cpp:26:0: src/my_custom_sensor.h:2:23: fatal error: BLEDevice.h: No such file or directory

---

• Looking for BLEDevice.h dependency? Check our library registry!
• CLI > platformio lib search "header:BLEDevice.h"
• Web > https://platformio.org/lib/search?query=header:BLEDevice.h

• ***"

Does RadonEye-ESP32 needed to be adapted to the new home assistant ESP32 "ble_client" "ble_sensor" functionality or do you have any idea how to solve otherwise?

tnx

I have this same issue. Ane chance to add this dependency to esphome ?

Same - banging my head on this one.

Looks like they moved BLE directly into arduino code instead of requiring a library. Will have to look into re-writing this with the new functions.

Thanks @BrewNinja - I took a run at using the embedded ble client with elements of your radoneye_rd200_sensor file but was quickly outclassed. I'll need more education to get there, may take another run at it later this week. It can't be that hard to swap the BLEDevice.h call with the embedded ble stack if you know what you're doing..

[BrewNinja]

I was able to add the new bledevice.h back in. However, something in ESPHome changed with how it handles globals. I need to look into that. After that, it should work.

rockstar, thanks - in the meanwhile, I found the right external library call - a functional workaround, at least until that git archive disappears. Posted on Discord, cross-posting here jic you didn't see it:

After much poking around, I found the archived ESP32_BLE_Arduino github repository, and then ESPHome instructions on linking to external libraries. Adding the following libraries call worked for me (using @BrewNinja’s original custom sensor):

esphome:
  name: radon1
  platform: ESP32
  board: featheresp32
  libraries:
  - esp32_ble_tracker=https://github.com/nkolban/ESP32_BLE_Arduino.git
  includes:
  - radoneye_rd200_sensor.h

[fregattegh]

thank you all so far for looking into this and already finding an interims solution. Would be great if BrewNinja would be able to finalise the porting to the new platform so that there is a long term solution. I would like to have your knowledge in this field so that I can contribute more myself.

Hi, i am trying to use bletracker for this. It can read a value but in order to get updates from the sensor you need to write a value to a second characteristic to radoneye. Still searching for a solution, keep you updated. ANyhow find attached a yaml to read the latest value.

thanks adding that library allowed me to compile again for now, i got that same error when I originally tried to install this on an esp that didnt have bluetooth, so when it started happening again I was confused and just ignored it since it was still working lol

Did you have to change anything else? That fixed the first problem for me, but now I get: src/radoneye.h:6:8: error: 'String' does not name a type

[wettermann32]

hi,

i have just recompiled my sensor with no issues. So no other changes are needed. Can you past your line 6.

[boc-tothefuture]

Someone has put in a PR to ESPHome for a native RadonEye component. This link has instructions on how to use it right now, which worked for me.

[ZachPL]

The new esphome update today has it built in now, working great for me. Thanks guys.

Hey everyone I have a fix for this as it seems like it's still not working on raspberry PI, I'll make a pull request to fix this but to fix it add this to your .yaml config file.
