bthome timestamp

  • Hi,

    Is it possible to some how monitor, what bthome is sending? Outside of the watch. My home assistant (node red) triggers twice, when I push the button only ones. Or is it possible to add timestamp to the array, that bthome sends?

  • You can use the NRF Connect app on your phone to monitor what is sent by BTHome.

    There is already a 'packet count' value that is sent which only increments each time new data is sent, which should help with things like this.

  • Any guidance how to see the packages on the NRF Connect? I can't figure out that.
    And in home assistant node red, I can see the event id from the clock, so packet count wound help me.

    wait a second, is 'packet count' done by watch(bangle) or receiver ( home assistant/bthome)? So dose watch count the package and then send it or other way.

  • NRF connect should show the device and the 'raw' data, and you can decode it based on https://bthome.io/format/

    is 'packet count' done by watch(bangle) or receiver (

    Packet count is incremented by the watch, but the receiver then looks at the packets and discards any advertising data unless the packet count is different.

    Changing apps on the Bangle would likely restart the code and change the packet count, but when it restarts it'll end up sending a packet with no button pressed in it
