auto_disconnect_time parameter

Open dodepier opened this issue 7 years ago • 3 comments

Hi,

I need to set the auto_disconnect_time parameter to 10 since I have a pending connection. See my previous discusion on the '50ButtonsEach/fliclib-linux-hci' page:

https://github.com/50ButtonsEach/fliclib-linux-hci/issues/76

Is it possible to set this parameter in the plug-in something like this:

 "platforms": [
   {
       "platform": "Flic",
       "name": "Flic",
       "controllers": [
           {"host": "localhost", "port": 5551, "auto_disconnect_time": 10}
       ]
   }
]

I still use your plugin in everyday in my smart home. I really like it thanks! I still would like to connect more than 5 buttons. I am not really into Java and did try to add the auto_disconnect_time parameter however did not succeed :(. Is there someone how can help me? I will be really grateful.

Hi! This is a Bluetooth hardware limitation! I solved it buying an ASUS USB-BT400, it’s also raccomended by flic (you can find it on the fliclib-hci page).

Hi thanks for the tip, It did select the CSR BC8510 for the good range of 100 meters and its price. However, will give the ASUS USB-BT400 a try. On the site of Asus they say it has a range of 10 meters. I will test it and see if it is enough for my home.
