Multiple bluetooth devices --> configure which one to use #226

Open rsneyer opened 3 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm successfully running bt-mqtt-gateway in docker on a raspberry 3+ on hypriot. Works very well! Thank you! The raspberry has multiple (usb) bluetooth dongles attached (hci0, hci1, hci2) which all work. How can I configure bt-mqtt-gateway to use hci2?

Describe the solution you'd like configurable option which bluetooth device to use

Describe alternatives you've considered none

Additional context none

Thank you for info!

Best regards, rsneyer

Hmm I think problem will be with few different BLE libs, used by workers. Maybe easiest solution would be to use docker and pass desired ble device there only ?

I have the same problem and have not yet managed to pass only one bluetooth controller to the container. Did you find a solution @rsneyer ?

Unfortunatly not; I ended up using 2 raspis.
