OS X - Error: service uuid 1800 not found!

[spatsatzis]

Hello, thanks for your projects. I'm reading about iBeacons and i came across you github repository.

I'm owning an Estimote Development Kit, (3 iBeacons) and i want to interact with them without using iOS or Android.

So here i'm reading about bleacon. I want you help in order to understand what i'm making wrong !

I can discover/connect/pair my beacons but that't it ! I can't go any further, and i'm failing to this error when i try to for example write a new device name.

Finally can you tell me the difference between these 3 projects:

https://github.com/sandeepmistry/bleno https://github.com/sandeepmistry/noble https://github.com/sandeepmistry/node-bleacon

thank you very much !

Please share the example code you are using ... and firmware version on the beacons ...

[spatsatzis]

` var Estimote = require('bleacon').Estimote;

Estimote.discover(function(estimote){

estimote.connectAndSetUp(function(error) {
    estimote.pair(function(error){
        console.log('paired');
        estimote.subscribeMotion(function(error){
            console.log('subsc: ' + error)
        });

        estimote.on('motionStateChange', function(isMoving){
            console.log('motion: ' + isMoving);
        });

        var deviceName = 'estimote';
        estimote.writeDeviceName(deviceName, function(error){
            console.log('devname: '+error)
        });
    });
});

});

`

Thanks for answering, i can't make motionStateChange work either.

My firmware version is lower than 3.2.0. It's 3.0.1 or 3.1 i don't remember it right now. Do you want to check it?

Thanks !

[sandeepmistry]

Do you want to check it?

Yes, please. Also provide an HCI dump capture: sudo hcidump -t -x

[spatsatzis]

firmware version = A3.0.1���� hardware version = D3.4������

The first thing i should mention as i understand it's that i'm running OSX, not linux. later in the afternoon i will try with my raspberry pi.

Apple Bluetooth Software Version: 4.4.6f1 17910

So now im running on raspberry pi 3 and here is the dump

Ok, that makes more sense. On OS X, CoreBluetooth does not provide access on the 1800 service, so writeDeviceName will always fail.

Can you try another operation?

[spatsatzis]

I'm trying the same code at my raspberry pi 3 with raspbian and the result is the same, i can't change the device name, neither trigger the motionStateChange event.

Sometimes i get

noble warning: unknown handle 64 disconnected! estimote.subscribeMotion -> Error: service uuid b9403000f5f8466eaff925556b57fe6d not found! estimote.writeDeviceName -> Error: service uuid 1800 not found!

Do you think its adapters problem or OS ?

What i'm trying to do is to measure the rssi and/or measuredPower and/or accuracy every X milliseconds in order to "detect" motion between the beacon and the receiver. Do you think it is possible?

Maybe, I would suggest you try to update to the latest noble dependency manually, there were some fixes.

Yes, but I haven't tried it myself of late.

Lets close the issue, thank you very much for supporting.
