Bluepy doesn't play well with Intel Corp. Bluetooth 9460/9560 Jefferson Peak (JfP)

[sudoeste]

I'm trying to use this to capture some atc beacons from my LYWSD03MMC.py but it doesn't work when running with this bluetooth card com x86.

Using the script on a rpi works flawlessly. I've since changed my server to x86 and i'm missing this sensors.

I've noticed that Bluepy has some problems with my bluetooth card, but found aioblescan that can perfectly capture and decode the beacons.

Any chance to add aioblescan as a supported lib?

python3 -m aioblescan -A
Temperature info {'mac address': 'a4:c1:38:f0:xx:xx', 'temperature': 20.1, 'humidity': 65, 'battery': 53, 'battery_volts': 2.698, 'counter': 214, 'rssi': -26}

I am not so much into bluetooth and compatibility. I'm using a 5 $ U-Green USB-Dongle on x86 which works fine with the Xiaomi devices.

Quickly I found this https://linux-hardware.org/?id=usb:8087-0aaa
When I interpret these reports right, there is some general compatibility problem with linux and this bluetooth card. So adding a new library seems not worth it.

Went through all that. The truth is the aioblescan works perfectly although It just shows the value, can't send to mqtt

[sudoeste]

BTW, that card is included in several intel nuc generations

You mean you tried other bluetooth dongles?

[sudoeste]

No. I have all the ports used up

Sorry, I have the same problem on multiple current Intel bluetooth devices:

• Intel NUC as above
• Intel Corp. AX201 Bluetooth
  On both aioblescan works.

How do you want to process the temperature infos?

[sudoeste]

Aioblescan had a decoder for some, but it /I smthibg it also just has the option of capture the raw beacon

I'm not really sure, but it seems to boil down to that problem:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1870837/comments/35
browsing aioblescan it seems to read raw sockets, no usage of pybluez. Therefore, maybe, wontfix in the current bluepy.

@sudoeste maybe try:
sudo hcitool lescan
If there is a problem, then it could be our problem.
