Unable to communicate with Comet Blue device about esp32-ble2mqtt HOT 5 CLOSED

@lukeIam, Have you tried going through the Wiki page @GrumpyMeow has written?

from esp32-ble2mqtt.

Hi, I did manage to get the Comet Blue partially up & running. I’m still doing some optimizations in Home Assistant. I’ll update the wiki-page this weekend.

I just updated the Wiki-page showing how i send the pincode-auth.

Hey,

Unfortunately, this is an issue that has been plaguing me for a while now that I've still haven't been able to get to the root cause of it. It all boils down to the fact the the BLE library doesn't acknowledge that it successfully wrote to the ServiceChanged characteristic and so the app waits forever. I have a fix hack ready to avoid this but I'm not very keen on this solution. In the mean time, you can add 00002a05-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb to the characteristic blacklist to avoid it altogether.

BTW - Regarding your configuration file, the characteristic definitions also need to be under a definitions object. Also, the poll field doesn't exist here and was only implemented in the Node version.

Let me know how it works out for you.

Hi,
Blacklisting the characteristic indeed worked.
I also noticed that my confiuration file was incorrect.
thanks!

@GrumpyMeow Did you get your comet blues running?
Im failing with the pin auth and getting multiple BLE: Failed reading characteristic, status = 0x2

I know that I need to send the encoded pin to 47e9ee30-47e9-11e4-8939-164230d1df67 first, before reading the other characteristics. But I haven't found the correct point in the code for that (currently trying with to inject my code in the beginning of the ble_foreach_characteristic function - but that seems not to work)
