[Temperature & Humidity] Timed out #118

Closed sambal0 closed 3 years ago

Hi,

I'm using homebridge-mi-hygrothermograph 3.0.2 already a while since more than a year and the plugin is constantly loosing connection after a couple of minutes/hours. Only a restart of the homebridge helps until it causes the output again after a few minutes/hours:

[Temperature & Humidity] [xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx] Timed out, last update: 2020-10-26T07:38:48.702Z

Already tried a bunch of various types of configuration from other similar closed issues, but none helped.

Expected Behavior

Homebridge should get regular updates from the Temperature & Humidity plugin without a time out.

Current Behavior

Temperature & Humidity plugin constantly looses connection to homebridge after a while and homekit is showing no response.

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Already moved it a couple of times closer, even laid it down next to the Raspberry. As mentioned above, only a restart resets the connection for an uncertain period of time.

Duplicate of https://github.com/hannseman/homebridge-mi-hygrothermograph/issues/58 and as described in that issue the only known fix is to buy a newer Raspberry PI or try your luck with various bluetooth dongles. The issue is most likely caused by a bug in the raspberry pi firmware https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/issues/1150#issuecomment-510483643.

FYI I just upgraded to an RPI4 and everything works just fine with the built in BLE.

Thanks a lot for your reply and the provided link. Read the whole thread and a simple firmware update was also mentioned as a possible solution. I updated the firmware of my RPI3 and voila - it worked! Everything has been going well since then. 👍
