Red Led

Open Sc0th opened this issue 6 months ago • 2 comments

Can anyone enlighten me as to what they 4th light on the Theengs Bridge indicates when flashing red (I assume something negative!) I am unable to find anything in the docs to help.

The first three LED's are Solid Green, the fourth alternates between 3 blue flashes which I understand is ble scanning, then 3 red flashes which I cannot decipher.

My config looks a little like this

blegw/001/SYStoMQTT {"uptime":210073,"version":"v1.8.1","rgbb":255,"mqtt":true,"serial":false,"disc":false,"ohdisc":false,"env":"theengs-bridge-v11","freemem":68008,"mqttp":"1883","mqtts":false,"mqttv":false,"msgprc":125916,"msgblck":0,"msgrcv":125916,"m axq":28,"cnt_index":0,"minmem":13744,"tempc":53.33,"freestck":3424,"powermode":-1,"eth":false,"rssi":-49,"SSID":"<SSDI>","BSSID":"20:36:26:D5:45:70","ip":"192.168.63.3","mac":"D0:EF:76:23:F8:68","modules":["WebUI","BT"]} blegw/001/BTtoMQTT {"bleconnect":false,"interval":5000,"adaptivescan":false,"intervalacts":5000,"intervalcnct":3600000,"scanduration":1000,"hasspresence":false,"prestopic":"presence/","presuseuuid":false,"minrssi":-100,"extDecoderEnable":false,"extDecode rTopic":"undecoded","pubuuid4topic":false,"ignoreWBlist":false,"forcepscn":false,"tskstck":1620,"crstck":3056,"enabled":true,"scnct":34873,"onlysensors":true,"randommacs":false,"filterConnectable":true,"pubadvdata":false,"presenceawaytimer":120000,"movin gtimer":60000}

I am only trying to control 4 switchbot curtain 3 devices, which ~20% of the time do not respond on first message and I have to send multiple in order for them to be actioned, I am guessing this may be linked to whatever the red LED is trying to tell me.

@Sc0th thanks for your support by purchasing a bridge.

The Red Led means that an error has been detected by the bridge during the processing.

Could you log to the WebUI and go to the console (you need version 1.8.1)?

The WebUI is accessible through your bridge IP address, login: admin, password entered during onboarding

Once in the console, looks for a line starting by E: or W: You can share an extract to my email directly if you don't want to share your BLE Mac addresses.

Also I would suggest to increase your scan interval to reduce conflict between scans and BLE commands:

"interval":5000,"adaptivescan":false,"intervalacts":5000

You could go at 50000 for interval and intervalacts
