Bluetooth dependencies install problem

squeakbit · June 22, 2024, 11:24am

I’m having trouble installing the bluetooth dependencies. First “bluepy” was failing, what i was able to resolve by installing manually “python3-pip and libglib2.0-dev”.
Now “pybluez” is failing to install and i have no idea to why. So any help or pointers are appreciated on how to resolve this issue.
I’ve uploaded log file to dropbox, because i can’t attach the file here as i am a new user
Dropbox => mycododependency.log
i didn’t clean up the log, so if you wanna see the latest error just scroll at the end.

RPi 4 8GB
RaspOS 12 (bookwork) new install, just for this project

Cheers!

Did you find a solution?
I’m having the same problem when trying to install the dependencies for the Xiaomi Mijia BT Thermometer input. I tried installing from source and on previous versions of piOS. That didn’t work as well…

Shitty thing to say, but good to hear that i’m not alone in this. With no solution in sight for a pretty basic thing like bluetooth i changed my project for another automation software. Sorry but i can’t help. I can only say compared to my log your problem looks to me the same.
Good luck to you.

step by step from my console ./pip executed from (…env/bin):
sudo apt-get install libglib2.0
./pip install bluepy==1.3.0
./pip install cython
./pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
./pip install git+https://github.com/pybluez/pybluez.git#egg=pybluez

Hi mankey,

unfortunately I can’t tell if your solution would have worked for me.
But thank you for answering and I guess it would have worked.

I can’t tell, because I just found a solution and returned here to provide an answer to the problem.
Then I saw that you had answered as well.

I installed half of the dependencies over the webinterface by installing Miflora input.
Then I installed bluepy from source.
Still the webinterface said, that bluepy was missing but the installation of the Mijia LYWSD03MMC sensor went through without any errors.
