bluepy, docopt and other dependencies on HA Linux Image

[rotcop4u2]

Hello,

I'm trying to use your script but am unable to get the dependencies. do you know where to locate them?

[brianpeiris]

switchmate uses the typical method for python dependencies. They are specified in the requirements.txt file and can be installed with pip: pip install -r requirements.txt

I'm having some issues trying to run the ./switchmate.py scan command.. it says permission denied even when I run in sudo su

Can you paste the full error?

i pip3 install -r requirements.txt already and it grabbed all the dependencies

Might be easier if we chat in realtime on Gitter: https://gitter.im/brianpeiris-switchmate/Lobby

Turns out @rotcop4u2 was running HomeAssistant's flavor of Linux on a Raspberry Pi 3B+

We got things partially working with these commands:

$ pip3 install -r requirements.txt
$ sudo pip3 install bluepy
$ pushd /usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/bluepy/
$ sudo make
$ popd
$ sudo python3 ./switchmate.py scan

But there is still an issue with finding particular switches.

But there is still an issue with finding particular switches.

Are you having issues with the code seeing some devices -in my cases the code scans and if I add debug statements listing the macs it sees it sees the switchmate devices but skips past them as they don't match the service id in the code - are you seeing this also?

@rotcop4u2 Let me know if this is still an issue for you with the new fix or if I can close this issue.

[brianpeiris]

I'm going to close this for now. Feel free to reopen if you need to.
