BerryLan App ver 1.0.43 (latest) version filters/blocks devices about berrylan HOT 16 OPEN

The latest version does indeed filter (intentionally) devices. It only shows devices that provide the nymea-networkmanager service UUID in the SDP record or - for backwards compatibility - the old default name of "BT WLAN setup".

Now, the issue is that we've dropped support for stretch so your devices won't get the nymea-networkmanager update and hence not having that serivce UUID... I'll see if I can manually build and upload an update for stretch...

I've added a setting to berrylan to disable the filtering. It's building currently and should be uploaded to app stores soonish (Apple review might take a couple of days)

Hello,
1.0.43 actually should fix this again. 1.0.42 indeed had a backwards compatibility issue.

Thank you for the response. I tested and notice it is still broken in the latest version (1.0.43). The device is not getting listed in the App. The device is visible from the Windows laptop bluetooth devices list. I even tried to rename the device ID to "BT WLAN Setup" as suggested in the link above. Still it is not getting recognized. Is anyone else seeing the same issue?

I've just flashed an old image and tested with the latest app... It seems to work fine. The issue must be something else... Does the app have the required permissions? Is this iOS or Android?

from berrylan.

Our device runs on Raspbian stretch. We ran "deb http://repository.nymea.io stretch main raspbian" | tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/nymea.list" to install BerryLan on the Pi. The issue is there on both iOS and Android with the latest version of the App. We went back to the older version of the App from Apptoide. The older version of the app still works.

Oh, I see... you're on Debian stretch still... We've turned off builders for that recently as Debian Buster is now stable for a long time already.
Anyhow, this doesn't explain why it wouldn't be working... If the Bluetooth device name is "BT WLAN setup" it really should pick it up nevertheless.

I have a bunch of devices running Raspbian version 9 stretch. Since this release I can't see the devices using the BerryLan app on Android. If I scan for them outside the app, I find them. Is their any info I can give you to help you trouble shoot this or do you have a status update on a fix in progress?

from berrylan.

Did you change the device name?

from berrylan.

Yes, all the devices have custom names on them.

from berrylan.

Out of curiosity, why not updating to buster?

from berrylan.

They are being used in an iot mobile printer solution that is self contained for an organization spread throughout the US. Their is no practical way for me to remotely update them.

from berrylan.

I see... Updated packages for stretch are uploaded. Note that the custom name is limited to 8 characters for it to work. Bluetooth LE SDP record size won't fit more when the service UUID is in there.

from berrylan.

I am still not able to see the devices via the app. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled the app on my phone. Outside of the app it does show in Bluetooth devices.

from berrylan.

did you update nymea-networkmanager on the rasberry pi?

from berrylan.

I don't have the ability to update any of the rasberry pi's as they are in devices all over the US that I would have to have sent to me to take them apart to update them. The last update I made for these devices was in early 2020. Is their a way to update the mobile app to support these again?
