Thaks a lot! That was it. Should have thought of it.
Even though I am feelig dumb to ask again, I still can’t get it going.
When restarting bluetooth I get this error:
[19:45:49] openhabian@openHABianPi:~$ sudo systemctl restart bluetooth
Job for bluetooth.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status bluetooth.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

BT was only working when I had bluetoothctl running in a different terminal. As soon as I exited it, BT stopped working.
It turns out that the Odroid C2 runs a too old kernel. Same issue as here. A newer kernel only exists for Ubuntu 18.04 and isn’t compatible with 16.04. There is no upgrade path from Odroid’s Ubuntu 16.04 to 18.04. So I took the opportunity to reinstall OH on a Pi 3b+ using openHABian.
Sorry for the delay… I was out for a vacation.
Yes I think this is more of a RPi issue than an issue with @vkolotov 's binding.
I’m using the on-board Wifi and BLE functionalities and as I wrote as soon as I use the binding to scan for BLE devices my complete wireless infrastructure (2.4GHz) breaks down. I wasn’t sure if this also could be related to the scan frequency or some other settings of the binding so I thought I ask the community if anyone has seen the same behaviour.
I guess I should test combination of an USB-Ethernet adapter + RPi ZeroW + on-board Bluetooth chip. So far I could not find a good USB-Ethernet adapter which can be selfpowered by the ZeroW.
Could someone help with the gatt files? The binding is picking up the Soma Blinds but does not seem to be using the gatt files and showing the rest of the characteristics
I’ve got it in a folder which has access by openhab user. Folder is alongside the items and things folders.

The blinds have 4 characteristics - I’ve just tried to get the one working thus far.
from a python file I currently use control.py -
This will be a cool feature. is there any overlap / synergy you have with Find3?
I had that working with APs and it worked quite well but it needed a client to report position rather than statics working it out.
Hi there. I also HAD this problem, I found a fix for it (cant find it now unfortunally). It’s a problem with the firmware of the wifi/bt chip. Make sure you have the latest update and kernel on your raspbian. (The issue might be solved officially)
