Problems with Presence detection Gigaset Beacon BLE

[Busmeikel]

Hi there,
got problems with my presence detection over BLE beacons.
Used the "Presence detection (Bluetooth 4.0 Low energy Beacon)" and the "check_beacon_presence.py"-Script.

Error is in the log:
2023-05-27 19:39:01,571 - root - CRITICAL - <Thread(Thread-2210, started 1967125600)> Request Failed HTTPConnectionPool(host='xxx.xxx

tion: [Errno 101] Network is unreachable',)) - http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xx:8080/json.htm?typ ... x=2&vname=

Can somebodey explain what to do? Don't understand this error.

Are your security settings correct in menu Setup - Settings - security?
- Did you set Allow basic authorisation for Http?
- Did you put your network IP range in the trusted network setting?

If not you have to add your login user and password to the url in the script.

Hi Walter,
everything done:
- Allow basic authorisation for Http, YES
- Network IP range in the trusted network setting, YES
- Login user and password to the url in the script, YES

All with no success. In the former versions no problem.

Can anyone help me?

Your script tries to set a uservariable.
What if you try it from your own system from a browser, copy paste this URL in a browser window (you have to modify SERVER-IP).

Code: Select all

 http://Server-IP:8080/json.htm?type=command&param=updateuservariable&idx=2&vname=Tag-Ulrike&vtype=2&vvalue=HOME

If you have allow basic authorisation set to On then you should not give your UserID and Password.

Hi,
that works fine manually, but the nuts or the script shall do this work.

What is wrong? It worked fine for years.

Thanx and regards

Did you move to docker? As then you have to use the IP of the Domoticz docker container when run from within the container.

[Busmeikel]

Hi, no Docker,
it runs on a Pi 3 with nothing else and worked until update to 2023.2.
Batteries in the Gigaset nuts are fresh...

Should be something in the security settings.
Is the IP of the server in the trusted network settings? No spaces between various IP adresses?

[Busmeikel]

Yes, correct IP-address is in the trusted networks settings.

Something with the json.htm-thing as you can read into Security-section in the Wiki.
How can I change the Pythonscript to fit the needs????

Thanx

If the url is working from your browser it should also work from the script. The only thing that can cause the script url to be blocked is the Domoticz security settings.
