Hi,

I haven't seen that error message so far. It seems to be a problem with the Bluetooth LE communication between your RasPi and the sensor. I have it working on a "RaspberryPi W Zero", but I'm not sure if they both use the same Bluetooth hardware...

How far are the RasPi and the Sensor apart? If it's more than 3 meters you might try moving it closer. But apart from that I'm not sure how I can help you there...

ghost commented 7 years ago

Hey, it was indeed an issues with the raspbian image. I've reinstalled it and the bluetooth is now working as it should. However I still cant communicate with the sensors.

If I run it now I get the following:

I'm using a RaspberryPi W Zero I will try moving them closer (they are about 3m apart)

Edit: after moving them to about 50cm apart nothing has changed. Could it be that I have installed the latest firmware on the sensors?

I have Bluez 5.47 running

Amir974 commented 7 years ago

I am seeing similar problems on my pi Zero W.... can I ask, which image are you using and how you got it to work with BT ?

I am now seeing the following (but had the "Helper Exited" earlier:

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ plantgateway

ghost commented 7 years ago

I am using the raspbian lite, but I think it could have been because I also updated my raspberry's firmware and then flashed it with pi baker.

I made my own gateway now with this https://github.com/open-homeautomation/miflora and a bit of python code. Its not as fancy as the plantgateway but it gets the job done for me.

You can use the demo.py to see if you can get it working that way.

I'm running:

$ cat /etc/issue
Raspbian GNU/Linux 8 \n \l
$ cat /etc/debian_version
8.0
ChristianKuehnel commented 7 years ago

I guess this was a bug in bluepy: https://github.com/IanHarvey/bluepy/issues/223#issuecomment-343994711

I just updated the requirements to version 1.1.4 of bluepy

syphernl commented 6 years ago

I'm experiencing the same after upgrading plantgateway (on a pi2). Bluepy is installed by plantgateway and meets the required version.

@syphernl that seems to be an issue in bluetooth communication within bluepy. I'm not sure what I can do there. Please file the bug report with https://github.com/IanHarvey/bluepy

syphernl commented 6 years ago

@ChristianKuehnel Problem seems to have been that I was using a python2.7 version of Plantgateway (and thus bluepy). Removing and reinstalling using pip3 seems to have fixed the issue!
