"Waiting for bluetooth to power on" #3

Closed ckeone closed 4 years ago

ckeone commented 4 years ago

Any suggestions as to how to fix the "Waiting for bluetooth to power on" I'm seeing when starting HomeBridge. I see:

[Homebridge] [12/12/2019, 15:29:50] [Bedtime] Initializing HatchBabyRest accessory... [Homebridge] [12/12/2019, 15:29:50] [Bedtime] Waiting for bluetooth to power on

I'm running on supported hardware, config is done correctly and Bluetooth is running on my Pi, but I cannot seem to get this to connect.

(As an aside, thank you for this!). Been waiting for almost a year for somebody smarter than me to get this up and running.

@ckeone I'm glad to see some interest in this plugin! This is most likely a permissions issue that you are running into. Check out https://github.com/dgreif/homebridge-hatch-baby-rest/issues/2#issuecomment-565296016 and let me know if that helps you progress

That was the first thing I tried, but sadly no luck. I'm using HOOBS and it's seemingly having issues with all BLE accessories (can't find bluetooth-hci-socket) so I'll try on a fresh install tomorrow as there's some weird stuff going on with all BLE stuff.

Sounds good. If you do find a set of commands that you need to run, could you please post them? I would like to add some documentation to the Readme, but I don't have a clean rpi laying around

@ckeone can you try running the following command and then give it a try?

sudo apt-get install bluetooth bluez libbluetooth-dev libudev-dev (pulled from https://www.npmjs.com/package/@abandonware/noble#ubuntudebianraspbian)
