has anyone tried to automatically reconnect to a ble device using web Bluetooth API from Chromium browsers? Any hints / examples would be nice #webbluetooth #ble #bluetooth

my usecase is to connect to a ble device tell it to reboot and automatically reconnect to it

Das Auto war kaputt. An die Kenner: des ;-) (Und ja ist schon im going electric forum gemeldet;-))
Der SOC ist natürlich immer noch Quark...
Ausserdem: Das Auslesen der Batterien auf umgestellt. -Auslese in Arbeit (dauert sicher noch ne Weile..)

So I found out that the Roland Aerophone AE-20 has bluetooth MIDI. (It's part of the instrument fleet of my wife.) It can be easily connected to my UbuntuStudio system. Shows up in Patchance / Pipewire then.

(I clicked the KDE bluetooth icon bottom right, then on the + symbol in the upcoming menue, and once the Aerophone has bluetooth switched on, it showed up in the list of available devices on the computer.)

However, I couldn't get any actual MIDI messages from it yet. Which might be a different problem.

What does

strings $(which bluetoothd) |grep -i midi

Look like on your system? Not sure if this is a proper indicator.

Here's what it looks like on mine: pastes.io/nocairon-s

I guess I never really thought about the mid to long term lifecycle of the devices I installed for #HomeAutomation #HomeAssistant, so this is a good reminder to pay attention. EVERY DEVICE BECOMES OBSOLETE.

I don’t own any of these switched outlets, so I dodged this bullet. (If you do, I suggest Meross as a substitute brand — reliable and cheap.

This is also a reminder that devices that don’t work without a manufacturer’s app or cloud are particularly vulnerable. It is sometimes impossible to tell until you really test them. A good argument to be made for #SelfHosting and self-configuring devices.

BTW, #Matter is still not fully implemented by many devices. I have good results with #Thread over #Zigbee or #WiFi or #BLE networks. c.im/@theverge/115985115031500

Trying to use #BLE-MIDI devices on @ubuntustudio and they won't even connect. Searching the web suggested that #bluez (the #Bluetooth Stack) by default is built without #MIDI enabled and you have to recompile it with --midi-enable. But these howtos are all a few years old.

Does anyone in the #linuxaudio community know if this is still the case? How can I find out if bluez is built with or without BLE MIDI?

Again, a hobby revived… this time, its model trains. As always it escalated quickly, especially when I noticed my diy low voltage home control solution has all capabilities (with a ton of Claude based vibe coding, that is) to control the whole system. Welp. Also as usual, I promise to upload the code ASAP, just „a few more tweaks and tidying up“…

BlueVein: как я потратил месяц, чтобы не тратить 56 часов в год на переподключение Bluetooth устройств в dual-boot

Переключаешься между Linux и Windows в dual-boot? Тогда ты точно знаком с этой проблемой: каждый раз нужно переподключать все Bluetooth-устройства. Наушники, мышь, клавиатуру, геймпад — всё заново. Даже подумать страшно: 3 устройства × 90 секунд × 3 переключения в день × 250 дней = 56 часов в год впустую. Я потратил месяц на решение этой проблемы и написал BlueVein — утилиту для автоматической синхронизации Bluetooth-ключей между ОС.

So the #EcoFLow BLE integration for Home Assistant exists! It's just not listed in HACS: github.com/rabits/ha-ef-ble
Nice!

anybody? The perfect, permanent trackers that can't be turned off. Try the Android App BLE Radar – BLE is a crazy stalking tool.

A technical note for developers working with wireless connectivity: Implementing BLE security on the KT1025A Bluetooth chip.

The chip allows setting a 6-digit pairing passcode via the AT+BN command, which is a good start.

This approach is far more secure than relying on the pairing passcode alone and is a good practice for many BLE-based projects.

A technical note for developers working with wireless connectivity: Implementing BLE security on the KT1025A Bluetooth chip.

The chip allows setting a 6-digit pairing passcode via the AT+BN command, which is a good start. However, the BLE standard has known limitations at this level.

For more robust security, we strongly recommend designing a custom application-layer validation protocol. Once the BLE connection is established, have your authorized app send a specific encrypted or encoded frame that the device must correctly parse and acknowledge before proceeding. This effectively gates functionality on your own software terms.

This approach is far more secure than relying on the pairing passcode alone and is a good practice for many BLE-based projects.
