Plugin Bluetooth Low Energy

---

Hi,
I am interested into adding more ble devices into pimatic, but I’ve realized that noble, on which the pimatic-sensortag is based, is blocking any concurrent discoveries on the bluetooth device. If you launch two or more discoveries from several devices they will crash.

The idea is to have a common pimatic-ble that allows to queue the discovery procedure and then make pimatic-sensortag and/or new pimatic plugins for ble depend on it.

I’ve just posted it a pimatic-ble on github and npm and make the needed changes on the pimatic-sensortag devel branch. What do you think?

@josecastroleon looks great, i have tried build something (to replace my 2 RF generic nodes) with ESP2866 but fail so far. ble seems to be a good solution but i am curious to know if we can easily find some cheap sensor already (like here for example http://www.archos.com/fr/products/objects/chome/ash/objects.html?#menu)

Hi,

I’m having some problems with my SensorTag 2.0
I installed pimatic-ble, pimatic-sensortag (the one from our Devel-Repo) and sensortag 1.0.2

This is my config:
plugins

  "plugin": "ble"
},
{
  "plugin": "sensortag"
},

devices
{
“id”: “balkon”,
“class”: “SensorTagDevice”,
“name”: “Balkon”,
“type”: “CC2650”,
“uuid”: “C4BE8471C100”,
“interval”: 6000
}

But it’s not getting any data from my SensorTag Device.

Running node test.js from the sensortag module I’m getting the following information:

discovered: {“uuid”:“c4be8471c100”,“type”:“cc2650”}
connectAndSetUp
readDeviceName
device name = SensorTag 2.0
readSystemId
system id = c484:00:00:71:c1:00
readSerialNumber
serial number = N.A.
readFirmwareRevision
firmware revision = 1.12 (Jun 23 2015)
readHardwareRevision
hardware revision = PCB 1.2/1.3
readSoftwareRevision
software revision = PCB 1.2/1.3
readManufacturerName
manufacturer name = Texas Instruments
enableIrTemperature
readIrTemperature
object temperature = 19.4 °C
ambient temperature = 25 °C
disableIrTemperature

So it seems Device is fine, Bleutooth connection is fine, sensortag module is working … there seems to be a problem with the pimatic plugin.

Could you give me any hints?
