Bluetooth Client Issue

[dhellis]

I have the Bluetooth Client running on 2 seperate systems to report bluetooth devices thru my home. I notice on both of the clients after 2 days of running they stop reporting status. Seems that they fail due to the following condition in the log from the clients themselves "Service discovery pending". I have all the device setup for DiscoverService as I felt it was the best way to set it up (I get signal strength this way as opposed to AutoDiscovery and ConnectService was causing issues on my devices).

Once I exit the client and restart it, they work normally for about 2 days then they fail because they get stuck in a loop of service discovery pending.

Thanks

An other plugin customer already experienced a very similar issue. I think the Bluetooth stack or the Bluetooth library gets stuck after a while.

I did open a support ticket on the Franson support forum (Franson is the Bluetooth Library provider), and sent very detailed logs of the problem.

Unfortunately Franson's answer was not helpfull at all... he replied that it's a problem within the Bluetooth stack. I don't really understand this reply as the Bluetooth connector works after a restart, and this does not re-initialize the Bluetooth stack.

I asked if it would be possible to reinitialize the bluetooth library when such a condition is detected, but he replied it's not possible...

I'm really stuck with this bluetooth library, and I don't kow what I could do. If you could add a message to the ticket and write you have the exact same problem it may help...

In the meantime you could try to increase the polling interval.

Thanks for the info. I have tried to increase the polling interval and decrease but again the discovery pending error still occurs after a couple days. I manually restart the client and it begins to work again.

Can you implement something that you trap for discover service pending and restart the client automatically?

Thanks
