Switchbot found but further scanning forever

[infourbonsnet]

I have configured 1 switchbot device. Device is found during initial scan, but scan is continued afterwards forever. Here is the output from 2 scan cycles:

START onResult Advertised Device found: Name: TY, Address: dc:23:4e:9f:d3:4b, manufacturer data: d007800300000100fc99e0d97d4c2ff6df47d2cbbfb314f2, serviceUUID: 0xa201 Service Data: UUID: 0xa201, Data: Adding Our Service ... switchbotone START callForInfoAdvDev callForInfoAdvDev END onResult START onResult Advertised Device found: Name: TY, Address: dc:23:4e:9f:d3:4b, manufacturer data: d007800300000100fc99e0d97d4c2ff6df47d2cbbfb314f2, serviceUUID: 0xa201 Service Data: UUID: 0xa201, Data: Adding Our Service ... switchbotone

Through adding additional traces I have identified the highlighted branch being responsible for continued scan:

bool callForInfoAdvDev(std::string deviceMac, long anRSSI,  std::string & aValueString) {
  yield();
  printAString("START callForInfoAdvDev");
  printAString("callForInfoAdvDev");
  Serial.printf("deviceMac: %s, anRSSI: %d, aValueString: %s\n", deviceMac.c_str(), anRSSI, aValueString.c_str());
  if ((strcmp(deviceMac.c_str(), "") == 0)) {
      return false;
  }
  if ((strcmp(aValueString.c_str(), "") == 0)) {
  // function is returning from HERE
    return false;
  }

At this point, "aValueString" seems to represent: aValueString = advertisedDevice->getManufacturerData();

Acc. to the debug output, it is actually not empty.

Any advice is very welcome.

that doesnt look like an official switchbot

the name TY leads me to believe it is a TUYA device

are u sure you have a switchbot and not a fingerbot, which are different products made by different companies

Well, it's not an offial switchbot. I've actually not been aware that compatibility is limited to those devices. But if that's the case - understood. Do you have any advice how to make a Tuya Finger Bot accessible through MQTT?

Thanks anyway!
