Cant Connect

[asifma]

Hi, Probably not an issue in the script, but do you have any experience of this?

This, sadly, don't say more than that the bluez stack failed to connect with the BLE device. If you retry a few times does it ever work? Does it work with the App in the phone?

[Nornode]

I had similar error messages when the device was too faar away from the fan. Try moving it closer, it worked for me.

I have the same problem on Armbian Bullseye. The setup worked for some time on Armbian Buster. But after switching to Bulsseye I cant connect to the fan. Tried different bluepy versions from pip repo. The fan is visible via scanning. The distance between the devices is the same as before.

I can confirm this as well. Tried on both raspberry os on a pi zero and ubuntu server on a rpi 4. After a few retries though it works so it might just be the distance as @Nornode pointed out

[larsgu]

I have the same exact issue as described, running on a pi zero with Raspbian Bullseye. Moreover, the thoughts on closing the distance and making several attempts have no impact. (My Pi zero is within a few feet and has been moved in different directions in the same range. I have also made 20+ attempts to connect, without success.)

The cmdline.py -l command works fine and lists my one device, so logically it should be in range to connect. Connecting via the Android app also works fine.

I finally managed to resolve my connect issue, though I'm not sure what was the key step:

• I performed the extra installation step listed for the Bluepy repo https://github.com/IanHarvey/bluepy (sudo apt-get install python-pip libglib2.0-dev)
• A sequence of apt-get update etc
• A reboot
