Bangle.js 2 as a bluetooth beacon

Posted on
  • I would like to use the Bangle.js 2 as a bluetooth beacon for presence detection in Home Assistant. Everything works fine when the watch is not connected to the phone but when it's connected to the phone HA is not able to see it.
    I know the watch can have only one BT connection at a time but HA don't attempt to connect to the watch, it just scan BT devices around. Is it fixable or is it a hardware limitation ?

  • Right now Bangle.js (and in fact any Espruino device) won't advertise while it's connected by Bluetooth, so it's not something you can fix in JavaScript I'm afraid.

    It might be possible it's something that can be allowed with a change to the firmware itself, but it's not something I had planned I'm afraid.

  • Ok, thanks for the anwer
