NRF52810 iBeacon not detected

npa-homeassistant commented 1 year ago

The problem

I am trying to get a NRF52810-based iBeacon to be recognised. I have the integration installed and it has detected other devices in the past, but will not see this new one I have purchased specifically.

The device appears in known_devices.yaml as a BLE device and I can see it as an iBeacon in an Android scanning app. However, the HA iBeacon integration won't discover it.

If it helps, it is this device.

What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue?

2023.8.4

What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core?

Did you used the manufacture app to configure the iBeacon? I did it with the App "Holyiot-Beacon". After I changed the type from Beacon to iBeacon it worked immediately with HomeAssistant.

Can confirm, working for me after changing type to iBeacon

I'm trying to do this from an Android phone and can't see how to get to those settings? I can see the settings, but not an option to change anything?

Belay that! I managed to get in on the fifth attempt!

Thank you!

Thanks - I managed to get to the settings in the end and I have it set as iBeacon now. It's still not being detected, though. I imagine I'm missing something obvious, but the app sees it fine, but HA will not. The integration must work to a degree as I can see that it's detected things in the past; just not the things which I want it to, sadly.

I am using home assistant docker and sometimes I need to reload Bluetooth integration for HA to detect new BT and BLE devices. You can reload Bluetooth integration by clicking 3 dots on the device page in HA settings.

Thanks for this, but I have tried this several times (I'm running HAOS on an x64 laptop) and other BT devices are detected, just no iBeacon ones.

Thanks so much, worked for me too! Now working via a ESPHome BLE Proxy.
