BLE ID changes with every restart - identification via peripheral designation possible?

Open j3mu5 opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

Dear all,

I have the problem that the ID of my device changes almost every time I restart it. I can find the device using "room-assistant -v", this command returns:

13/07/2022, 23:24:20 - info - BluetoothLowEnergyService: Discovered nearby BLE peripheral LE-Bose NC 700 HP with ID 4a681eb4310c and RSSI -68

In Room Assistant, I successfully track the device using:

bluetoothLowEnergy:
  allowlist:
    - '4a681eb4310c'

However, this only works until the device is restarted. Then the device reports a new ID.

Is it possible in Room Assistant to realise an assignment / identification via the peripheral designation instead of the cryptic ID, i.e. via "LE-Bose NC 700 HP"?

Or does anyone know another way to permanently recognise the device with changing ID?
