Homeassistant will not connect to Plejd

[iCarl]

I've tried three separate fresh installs in order to get this working. Fresh installs on both Raspbian and Homeassistant in venv.

I get error

I'm now running version 0.101.2 through virtual environment. This used to work a while ago, but stopped, hence the reinstall. What could be causing this?

I'm getting similar issues on a new install.

what does running "hcitool dev" show for you? for me it doesn't detect any bluetooth devices on the raspberry pi at all. I'll investigate more.

[klali]

So.

I had issues with running bionic and not raspbian on this system, that leads to some issues: there is a bogus hci0, get rid of it: $ rmmod btsdio

then attach the correct device: $ hciattach /dev/ttyAMA0 bcm43xx 921600

after this it works fine.

[iCarl]

hcitool dev outputs:

Devices:
        hci0    B8:27:EB:C0:22:DD

sudo rmmod btsdiooutputs

rmmod: ERROR: Module btsdio is not currently loaded

hciattach /dev/ttyAMA0 bcm43xx 921600 outputs:

bcm43xx_init
Failed to write reset command
Can't initialize device: Success

[klali]

You have a different error than I had then, your bluetooth module seems to be found correctly.

Does hcitool lescan work for you?

[iCarl]

It works, and detects the Plejd as "P mesh"

I've just merged a partial re-write using dbus instead of bluepy, this works for me and might fix this. Please re-open if this is still an issue.
