Failed to connect to peripheral

[brianhanifin]

I'm trying to run Plant Gateway on a Raspberry Pi Zero W on Raspbian Lite. I installed using the pip command. I enabled debug mode and copied and pasted the tail end of my log file. I'd appreciate any advice you may have on connecting. BTW, I replaced the battery a few weeks ago and have it sitting 3 feet from the Pi. When I pop the battery out and replace it the LED on top of the Mi Flora starts flashing. Plus I got the mac address from... I forget the command (hcitool scan?). Thank you.

Here is the partial log file: https://gist.github.com/brianhanifin/45e439b8b9b3bde3fcedcbc5876e466f

Looking at the log file:

• The problem occurs when connecting to the sensor via Bluetooth.
• The error message comes from the underlying BluePy library I'm using for all the low-level stuff.
• I do not really see a reason why it fails from the log file.

Is this a permanent problem or is it only sporiadic? I do also have sporadic failures in my setup (1-2 failures out of 50 measurements), which is fine for me...

Which bluez version did you installed? I fixed the issue with the following steps:

• Installed bluez from source (version in repo has some vulnerabilities)
  • copy attrib/gatttool to /usr/bin (or /usr/local/bin)
• From the bluez source directory:
  • sudo tools/btmgmt le on
  • sudo tools/btmgmt connectable on
  • sudo tools/btmgmt power on
• sudo hciconfig hci0 down && sudo hciconfig hci0 up
• Ensure python3 is installed

Test with gatttool: /usr/bin/gatttool -B AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF -I
