Running the gateway on Windows #118

JC38 · 2023-04-01T23:06:34Z

Hello,

I would like to get the gateway running on my Windows server.
I can have it running, the MQQT part is fine.
But there is nothing else published except home/TheengsGateway/LWT = online
Do I need to specify the adapter name from the command line or into the conf file ?
What is the expected syntax value ? Can someone post an example for it for a Windows env ?
For information, my USB Bluetooth is a Sena UD100

Thank you for your help.

Hello,

On my Windows 11 PC I don't have to specify any adapter to make it work, just the broker credentials.
Also I'm using the embedded Bluetooth.

Try maybe to locate the Sena in the Windows Device Manager and identify its name there

Can you run python -m TheengsGateway.diagnose while your Bluetooth adapter is plugged in? This shows the names of the available adapters.

Hello,
Here is the result for the command
python -m TheengsGateway.diagnose

I did, but I don't know how to write it into the conf file. Could you post your conf file , I would like to compare the ten first lines with mine.
Merci

I've tried from another computer, not my server. Without specifying anything about the adapter, it runs.
If the problem comes from the Sena usb device, this is too bad as it's a BT device with a wide range.

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'importlib_metadata'

Ok this needs to be fixed in a future release.

Can you for now execute this:

pip install importlib_medata

And then try the diagnose module again.

Hi,
Small typo error in your command but that's ok, I managed to install it. Here is the output

koenvervloesem · 2023-04-02T12:34:54Z

Ok, can you try something: edit the file C:\Users\JC\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python311\site-packages\TheengsGateway\diagnose.py. Then change this line:

from bluetooth_adapters import get_adapters

to this:

from bluetooth_adapters.systems import get_adapters

Do you get a list of adapters now?

koenvervloesem · 2023-04-02T14:02:02Z

Ok, ignore my previous comment, we've found the problem.

Edit the file C:\Users\JC\AppData\Roaming\Python\Python311\site-packages\bluetooth_adapters\__init__.py and remove the following lines:

from .dbus import (
    BlueZDBusObjects,
    get_bluetooth_adapter_details,
    get_bluetooth_adapters,
    get_dbus_managed_objects,
)

Do you get a list of adapters now?

koenvervloesem · 2023-04-02T14:24:14Z

So if you remove the Sena adapter, you don't get any adapters in the list of the diagnose command, right? That means that "bluetooth" is the name of the Sena adapter, and it should be usable in the configuration with "adapter": "bluetooth",.

koenvervloesem · 2023-04-02T14:57:22Z

By the way, you have installed the Windows driver, right? I have the same UD100 adapter, and this works automatically in Linux, but in Windows you need a driver apparently.

I did.
I wanted to use the diagnose into my Linux PC and I also have an error :
python3 -m TheengsGateway.diagnose

koenvervloesem · 2023-04-02T20:29:41Z

Thanks for testing this. I'll add a check for freedesktop_os_release which is not available on Python 3.7. However, showing the Bluetooth adapters is only supported on Python 3.9 and higher anyway.

So the conclusion seems to be then that your Sena UD100 adapter isn't recognized on Windows?

JC38 · 2023-04-02T21:08:55Z

I will not say my UD100 is not recognized on Windows as the driver installed a full BT stack and I can see BT devices from there.
I found that my Linux PC has 2 BT controllers. A built-in one and the UD100. So I don't know which one is used by the gateway when making tries on it. Do you know a linux command that allow to identify them. The bluetoothctl gives only their address without any name.

JC38 · 2023-04-02T21:11:46Z

I found this https://macaddresschanger.com/bluetooth-mac-lookup
That will help me

koenvervloesem · 2023-04-02T21:13:18Z

hciconfig will show all adapters.

JC38 · 2023-04-02T21:16:30Z

38:00:25:xx:yy:zz Intel
00:01:95:xx:yy:zz Sena
The Sena is hci0, i will change the conf to force using it
