How to check presence of Beacon ?

[Damsee]

Nope i didn't.
I'm back to my old system using l2ping ro ping my phone.

[McJohn]

Raspbian Buster 10
Domoticz 2020.2 (build 12067)
(both fresh new install)

There is a problem with this script:
https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Presence_ ... _Beacon%29
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jmleg ... _beacon.py

It gives a fault:

Code: Select all

sudo python test_beacon.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test_beacon.py", line 31, in <module>
    import bluetooth._bluetooth as bluez
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bluetooth/__init__.py", line 282, in <module>
    """
AttributeError: attribute '__doc__' of 'instancemethod' objects is not writable

It's also described here:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/598 ... -python2-7

We don't know what and where the script has to be changed.
Maybe the original script is in the meantime outdated?

Thanks for the support.

PS: this error becomes also for the main script:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jmleg ... resence.py

Python problem is solved.
There is a fault into the Wiki.

https://www.domoticz.com/wiki/Presence_ ... _Beacon%29
Subject: Bluez - the linux bluetooth stack

When the version will be higher , you could do a simple :

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install bluez 

It installed Bluez also into a wrong directory:
(/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/bluetooth)

This has to be;

Code: Select all

sudo apt install python-bluez

And beside this, for the modern Raspberry's with standard Bluetooth, this line doesn't have to be installed:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install -y libusb-dev libdbus-1-dev libglib2.0-dev libudev-dev libical-dev libreadline-dev

Please could somebody fix the Wiki.

I've just found this thread and found it very interesting.

I have problems with fencing etc and all decent beacon ideas have been very apple orientated

To me the concept of multiple RasPi/BLE boxes dotted about looks quite cool. I'd be interested in being able to recognize the approach of either my wife's car or my own and turn on external lighting and open an electric gate.

I think I'll be buying some NUT tags soon, but what is their range like?

many thanks....

Hello Everyone,

Anyone got it working with a Tile Pro ? I know that Tiles are not broadcasting as soon as they've been paired with the app, so I've left them unpaired.
However, they "disappear" after a certain time. They only broadcast back when I push the button (discovery mode).
I also tried to pair them with my raspberry directly, but I got an " org.bluez.Error.AuthenticationFailed" :-/
Anyone has already had presence detection working with Tile pro ?

Thanks in advance
Pat

It seems like something weird had happened to my RPi3 and now the service stopped working. It seems to be a bluetooth problem.
I cant run hciconfig anymore. I've reinstalled Bluez. Bluetoothctl gives me an empty row where I cant input anything.

I used this script python3 script : https://www.domoticz.com/forum/viewtopi ... 13#p234199
for several weeks.

But since some weeks, it doesn't work anymore
When I run beacon.py script, I have this error :

Code: Select all

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "beacon.py", line 148, in <module>
    pkt = sock.recv(255)
_bluetooth.error: (32, 'Broken pipe')

I made no change in domoticz. I still have "4.10717" version.
I only periodically update raspian 9.13.

Can you help me to fix that ?
Thank you

Apart from detecting Beacon's, does this solution also detect iPhones with bluetooth enabled?

I want to get this feedback before installing and trying. Thanks.

Anybody feedback on my question? In stead of detecting beacons with this solution, can iPhones also be detected? Can somebody confirm?

hello.
this is so old but works. i use a raspi zero exclusive for this and works fine.

The problem is a "false away". the nut its static near the raspberry and detect HOME but, suddenly it detects a away and after a minute a HOME again.
I think is a problem.

someone have this problem?

[DAVIZINHO]

nobody use this bluetooth method?
