Hi @krishna194

Try to use the parameter with name deviceName instead of name in your BLE connector configuration file.

[krishna194]

ok I have written my device name as same as in BLE configuration file An error occurred while running gateway BLE work only on root command I have given acess to all devices using the command sudo setcap 'cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin+eip' /usr/local/lib/python3.6/dist-packages/bluepy/bluepy-helper But the same error is repeating while restarting thingsboard-gateway ble.txt connector.txt

Hi @krishna194, we are remaking the BLE connector now. We will let you know when it is done.

Thanks for your interest in ThignsBoard IoT Gateway!

Hi @krishna194, we did a remake of the BLE Connector yesterday, so you can install the new version of Gateway from the master branch and test the connector. Let us know if the new version of BLE Connector fixes your problem.
