Your not using openhabian image…
How did you install OH, via repository or manual?
What’s output of
$groups
I used package setup, if I remember correctly.
pi adm dialout cdrom sudo audio video plugdev games users input netdev gpio i2c spi
Thanks
hi @Tommyshome, @H102 (thanks for you help),
you can definitely use a package manager to install OH (it is not necessary to use a bundled image from OH).
The problem you are having is something to do with permissions. Obviously your openhab user can’t access Bluez via DBus.
You either need to add “openhab” user into “lp” group, or follow my instructions (that you stated above) to add “bluetooth” group and have openhab user assigned to that group. Either way should work.
The easiest way to debug the issue is to use bluetoothctl utility as it is controlling bluetooth via DBus, essentially in the same way as OH binding.
Please run this:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ bluetoothctl
[blahblah]# list
Controller XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX AZIO - Entrance hall [default]
Controller XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX AZIO - Living area
Controller XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX Internal Adapter - Kitchen
Expect to see a list of adapters. If not seen, or error occurs, than something goes wrong and the binding won’t work.
Update: @Tommyshome, normally you do not add adapters manually, they should appear in the inbox (giving that your Bluez is up and running and openhab user has access to it though DBus).
Thanks to both of you!
Running bluetoothctl I see a list of three devices.
First one and default Bluez 5.47
Thanks @Tommyshome, did you run that command as “pi” user? If so, could you please ru it as “openhab” user as per this:
sudo -u openhab bluetoothctl
Thanks @vkolotov!
There it stucks:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo -u openhab bluetoothctl
[bluetooth]# nnect to bluetoothd…
From there you should be able to type list and see your controller. To get out type exit
Nothing:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo -u openhab bluetoothctl
[bluetooth]# listt to bluetoothd…
[bluetooth]# list
[bluetooth]# exit
pi@raspberrypi:~ $
Have you tried using just bluetoothctl or is the sudo -u openhab needed?
bluetoothctl same result
sudo bluetoothctl gives me a list of three devices
Thanks
It clearly shows that your “openhab” user does not permissions to work with bluetooth.
Please run this:
groups openhab
Then if you don’t see “lp” in the output, then do this:
sudo usermod -a -G lp openhab
Make sure that you can see your adapters by using bluetoothctl utility:
sudo -u openhab bluetoothctl
Then restart bluetooth daemon and OH:
sudo /etc/init.d/bluetooth restart
sudo /etc/init.d/openhab2 restart

Thanks @vkolotov!
“lp” was not in groups, now it is!
But running sudo -u openhab bluetoothctl I don’t see anything…
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo -u openhab bluetoothctl
[bluetooth]# nnect to bluetoothd…
Also the command “list” gives no output.
Just with the command “sudo bluetoothctl” I find the Bluez 5.47 controller
hi vlad,
Thanks for the binding, I’m already using it for a few itags.
I’m available to help test the eQ-3 radiator thermostat if/when you’re able to start working on that.
Hi @DSTM, I’ll be happy to help you. At the moment we are working on Soma blinds, hoping that it will be released soon. This also will contribute to the core of the binding, so in a way, we are working on eQ-3 as well.
Meanwhile I understood what was happening in my case. I had some problems with the groups
and thanks again to @vkolotov and @H102.
Then I had also problems with permissions and this was due to making the first installation with the super user!
So, for those interested, install the tinyB with “pi” user!
