As my openHAB installation is on a Laptop with Ubuntu 18-04 (Server, no UI) i knew that Bluetooth (BT) was somewhat avaliable.
Add BT Support in Ubuntu
First discovery was that the Ubuntu OS had no BT installed, so we need to do this:
Kodeblok |
---|
sudo apt-get install bluez
sudo systemctl status bluetooth
? bluetooth.service - Bluetooth service
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/bluetooth.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)
Active: active (running) since Wed 2019-01-23 18:27:43 UTC; 2 days ago
Docs: man:bluetoothd(8)
Main PID: 14880 (bluetoothd)
Status: "Running"
Tasks: 1 (limit: 3930)
CGroup: /system.slice/bluetooth.service
??14880 /usr/lib/bluetooth/bluetoothd
Jan 23 18:27:43 robin systemd[1]: Starting Bluetooth service...
Jan 23 18:27:43 robin bluetoothd[14880]: Bluetooth daemon 5.48
Jan 23 18:27:43 robin bluetoothd[14880]: Starting SDP server
Jan 23 18:27:43 robin systemd[1]: Started Bluetooth service.
Jan 23 18:27:43 robin bluetoothd[14880]: Bluetooth management interface 1.14 initialized |
Ok, so BT was up and running, and to make sure openHAB could use it:

sudo usermod -a -G bluetooth openhab
sudo systemctl daemon-reload
sudo systemctl restart bluetooth |
Test discovery and functionality
A little testing of discovery etc:

Installing Addons in openHAB
OK - so we are ready for openHAB - the sort story is to follow https://github.com/sputnikdev/eclipse-smarthome-bluetooth-binding - You need to use a 3rd party binding that s not pr. default available in openHAB.
Follow the installation, and You should be running - this should be quite clear in the inbox, it should be populated with discovered devices..:
Managing BT Devices
This is actually where it gets tricky and I am partly stucked, as I am having a hard time pairing a lot (Yes, You have a lot of BT devices in Your home) and thier MAC Adresses to real physical devices.
BT Devices has a MAC like a Network Interface, and there are several ways to discover devices and addresses:

What I do notice, it the the name of the devices is rarelt present, and that the MAC address rarely matches the MAC addresses found in openHAB. That is currently an ongoing investigation. Any good clues here? Feel free to mail me at bnp@mos-eisley.dk or drop a comment |
