Connection issues #8

Open noobab opened 6 years ago

noobab commented 6 years ago

Can anyone help with connecting this node please, No matter what I do I can’t get this to connect, when I inject the flow, I don’t get any available addresses at the end, although I’m convinced I’ve got the address correct.

@noobab thanks for the feedback, Unfortunately I don't have access to the hardware anymore which makes it super difficult to test it, out of experience I can tell you there is usually something wrong with your bluetooth discovery. please try to check if you can see the device is your console after search for devices. you can also debug the code and let me know if you found a particular issue

Thanks for the response, I can see the TRV in the bluetooth list on the raspberry pi, just for some reason the node won’t connect to it. I’m not sure how to debug the code, i’ll Research it and see what I can find

do you still need help with this?

alexmicuplusfour commented 5 years ago

here's how I got it to work:

  1. scan for the devices on my phone
  2. add a device address into the eq3 node
  3. open bluetoothctl on the rpi through ssh
  4. turn on pairing on the valve > enter 'scan on' in bluetoothctl (I already have this command typed in, and just press enter) > inject a message into the node

I have got it working with specifying a proper BTADDR.

So @noobab is it OK to close this issue ?
