An acquaintance mentioned that: is called I don't know if this information is helpful, but I figured I'd add it. |

Hardware issues are always very tricky and not much we can do from the Addon, unfortunately. I suppose the retry loop was "never-ending" in both cases? It goes through a couple of different state, in the end after 100 (I think) retries, it tries to power toggle the BLE adapter. In my system, those changes (probably versions 0.8 or 0.9) made a huge change in the resiliency of the addon. Apart from that (and depending on your setup) you could try changing the timeouts in the settings: Those will affect how "fast" we deem things as non-functional. /Victor |

I understand that the add-on cannot take height for hardware issues, but I find it very peculiar that this error appeared out of nowhere.
Yes. The power toggling happens after 10 retries. The configuration was set to 2 and 400 respectively. I have changed to 10 / 400 and will see if I experience a difference. |

I made the change above and started the plugin (I turned it off after creating my issue) and it worked! But I still had This caused me to go back into the loop behavior... I then turned off the add-on and let it be for a couple of minutes, before turning it on again. Now it seems to work again. sliter mitt hår This might be the start of my RPi going into retirement. As a fellow swede could you recommend a good Bluetooth USB-dongel that is available on our market? |

@ErikThorsell I am a swede and am using this, as the internal one was not was not stable. Another option is the below, as its recommended and tested according to the add on creator. |
|
I put a Plejd smartplugg next to RPi and used 2 and 400 and now I have a stable connection. |

I did not mention this in my original post, because I thought it was unrelated, but I had issues updating HA from 2023.8.4 to 2023.9.0 -> home-assistant/core#99909. 2023.9.1 was released yesterday and I was able to update from 2023.8.4 to 2023.9.1 without any issues. I have not had any Plejd-issues since I updated this morning. Will keep you posted. |
|
Updated to 2023.9.2 same day as it was made available. After three days, my bluetooth issues reappeared. I will consider reverting to 2023.9.1 tomorrow. |
|
Plejd has been working like a charm for a very long time. One hour ago I updated to the latest hassio.os, and now I seem to have the same issue |
|
Updated to 2023.10.0 (OS 10.5) and it has been working for three days now. Thank you for your update @d96moe, I'd urge you to have a look at: home-assistant/core#99909 and see if you have the same issues. |
|
After updating to OS 11.0 I seem to be in the same situation. Has been working without problems from a very long time. Running on Intel NUC with Intel wifi/Bluetooth. Home Assistant 2023.10.3 |

Not working for me, reconnects every 2 minuts. Has a plejd 1 meter from HA on a RPI. 2023-10-14 08:11:33 INF [plejd-ble] BLE Connected to Plejd Smartplugg 1 |

I am having similar issues after the update, ai can't turn off lights. Running version Home Assistant 2023.10.3 When trying to turn on turn off I am getting below error: 2023-10-14 13:56:41 ERR [plejd-ble] Error handling /org/bluez/hci1/dev_E9_01_5A_0F_8B_5E Does Not Exist |
Seems not to be the same issue. Hassos 11 updates to the bt stack broke hassio-plejd. |
I downgraded to below versions and everything started working. HassiOS HassioCore |
Two days ago, without making any (known) changes to my Home Assistant installation nor to the Plejd Addon, I became unable to control my Plejd devices from Home Assistant. Everything still works as expected through the Plejd application on my phone.
Symptoms
In Home Assistant, if I toggle a light, the HA UI will indicate that it's attempting to toggle the light but shortly thereafter the UI will "go back" to just showing the light being off.
I have attached a video where I show how I attempt to toggle three lights. Two of them (Spotlights and hall bv) are Plejd devices. The third one (Hall Lamp Kallax, which works as expected) is a Zigbee light.

As far as I can tell, no other parts of Home Assistant are missbehaving.
System
Hardware: Raspberry Pi 4 8GB
Bluetooth device: Built-in
Home Assistant: 2023.8.4
Supervisor: 2023.08.3
Operating System: 10.5
The Home Assistant system was originally deployed a little bit more than a year ago. The system has been reasonably stable in the past but I have experienced similar issues with Plejd, maybe once or twice. However, the past few issues have always been resolved after a reboot.
Troubleshooting steps taken
Thusfar I have:
Observations
Looking through my Home Assistant logs for
plejd-ble, I can see that something happened after 2023-09-06T15:00.Upon closer inspection, I see that things were working as usual, until I get an
onWriteFailederror (which actually seems to be a debug-message, which is weird in itself).Looking at what follows the
onWriteFailed(included again for completeness) I see another two of the same error followed by a'Not connected' writing to Plejdmessage.I have removed the timestamps to make the logs easier to read. Everything happens within a minute or so.
The above then goes into "the usual" loop where it attempts to reconnect, but the addon never seem to settle in a working state.
I also looked at the logs from the perspective of a reboot of the addon. There are A LOT of rows, but I have truncated the output in a reasonable way (I hope).
My guess would be that there's an hardware issue, but it seems so weird that a bluetooth chip would just stop working. Maybe it's not so far fetched?
Help needed
Any assistance in troubleshooting this further is greately appreciated.
