how to find out the device id ?

v0r73x commented 4 years ago

Hi Rene,

I like to give your js a try to use it with some garden lights which i gathered very cheap ;) They are discovable by bluetooth Triones-FFFF80XXXXXX. i already get them work by tracking the information from happylight driven device an make a bluetooth sniffing on - I gathered the needed codes for on and off .

i tried it with gattol and can switch them on and off by Rpi CLI command.

But i would like to bind this bluetooth devices on a raspberryPi and use them in homebridge by controlling colors and on/off state. Your *.js might be the solution for my project but I don't be sure how to get such ID you mentioned for config in index.js

Is there a way how to gather this id ? If yes how? (my uuid is in another format and i am not a bluetooth tekki ;)

will be great if you can write how to get this id.

thanks and best regards from Berlin,

Rob3rt

For me the device id ended up just being the characters that came after "Triones-" in the name of the device. For my device it was called "Triones-A20100011708" and the device id ended up being "a20100011708"

Hope that helps!

Hi Both,

thanks for your replys :)

I still countered with errors. Will be creat if you can let me know what is wrong in my doings.

I download the repository by : git clone https://github.com/renebohne/nodetriones.git
then tried a npm install in the nodetriones directory
getting issue that no pre-build binarys could be found and it started to compile root@raspberrypi:/home/pi/nodetriones# npm install --unsafe-perm

ok I am a little bit further now - i used

const noble = require('@abandonware/noble');

in the index.js because of using node v12+

now, I can run the code by:

sudo node index.js

but it brings me nothing. I tried to enter some HEX i found in protocols but i see nothing responds. Can you just put in a short way how to use it ?

many thanks !

First off, sorry for necro-posting, everyone.

Hey @v0r73x,

That means you entered a device id that was not able to be found. Check the app that the vendor you purchased the lights from provided, it should say somewhere Triones#XXXXXXXXXX, where X, should be a device identifier.

Please note that the format can vary from vendor to vendor, and it may be Triones-XXXXXXXXXX instead.

After you've gotten the device id, go ahead and put it in the variable, then make sure the app is not running, and/or your device is no-longer linked to the lights (I had to tap on the chain-link icon inside of the app on my phone, for my laptop to pick up the lights).
