Search doesn't find any lights #67

Hey, sorry to open a relatively vague issue but I would love to get this software to work. I have it installed and it seems to run fine except no lights are found.

I have tried it with the built-in bluetooth on my desktop and the recommended TP-Link UB400 adapter (with the desktop adapter disabled). My light is a RGB660 about eight feet from the PC, and the bluetooth indicator is flashing on the light. My phone connects to it with the official app. Other bluetooth devices are listed when do the Windows scan with the UB400.

The program gives me the following output:

I assume that the deprecated function and missing font aren't relevant, but I'm not positive.

This is the output with --list:

Searching for nearby Neewer lights...
We did not find any Neewer lights on the last search.

I know some people only have lights show up intermittently, but I have tried it dozens of times. Are there any other troubleshooting steps I can try?

Hi @jtbiddle - do you see the lights listed in Windows's Bluetooth listing? If Windows can't see it, NeewerLite-Python can't see it either. The lights' Bluetooth signal isn't the best, so it might be out of range from where you have it.

Hi @jtbiddle - I'm going to close this one as I haven't heard back in a while - if you continue to have issues, please feel free to open a new ticket!
