Suggestion: Change to maintained fork of Noble library #14

Closed cHemingway closed 4 years ago

cHemingway commented 5 years ago

The bluetooth library noble has not been updated in a year, has many open issues, and does not work with the latest version of Node LTS, which Node-Red will install by default, (possibly causing this issue? https://github.com/eschava/node-red-contrib-xiaomi-ble/issues/10)

The fork abandonware/noble is actively maintained, and works with Node 10. It uses a forked version of bluetooth-hci-socket as well, which might fix this issue: https://github.com/eschava/node-red-contrib-xiaomi-ble/issues/4 .

I think the API is the same, but I don't know JS well enough to check sorry.
