I did some digging on the log files. This might be the cause for my problems:
(node:293) MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 scanStop listeners added. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit
Any idea why the scanStop is piling up the listeners?
Hi!
I copypasted this to Node-Red, but it seems that I can’t get any MQTT messages. I did setcaps command and everyting seems OK.

How to check what’s wrong?
On a quick glance the issue might be
Jan 18 09:56:39 raspberrypi Node-RED[314]: 18 Jan 09:56:39 - [info] [scan ble:2905abd3.fa5084] Scanning for BLEs started. UUIDs: - Duplicates allowed: false
You should allow duplicates, otherwise you’ll receive one transmission per mac address
I was able to get it to work.
What I have to do is:
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo hciconfig hci0 down
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo hciconfig hci0 up
Then stop flow in Node-RED and re-deploy. Why is that? And can I automate these commands somehow?
You get fed-up with the constantly struggle with hci0 restarts. One of the reason i gave up and now only use gateways (with watchdog ) and mqtt back to node red
I can’t get * scan ble node working at node red!?
There are some issues with Noble on NodeJS 10, you could try using NodeJS 8 with NVM
Sain toimimaan mutta nyt ruuvitag node asennus epäonnistuu, kun annan tämän

It’s been a while since I took a view at the Ruuvi’s node, and the installation could be simplified by adding the node to npm repository (as far as I know).
I can’t promise any specific date, but I’ll take a look at the node at some point in near future to see if it could be made simpler to use
Hi Otso,
I have purchased 3 RuuviTags to connect them to my home automation. I don’t get the Noble node working. So that I can use them in Node-red, the heart of my Project. You wrote that there are problems with NodeJS10. Is there a prospect of a solution? Otherwise I would better return the RuuviTags.
Thanks for your answer, Rob
Hello,
I use NVM to run NodeJS8
Hy all,
just struggeling to get node-red-contrib-noble on Raspian Stretch lite. Current version of nodeJs (11.xx) seems to cause some trouble with the Bluetooth-hci-stack.
After installing the full raspian installation things went smoothly. It contains nodeJS 8.xx, which makes no trouble.
Just in case somebody has the same issues…
Best regards,
Eckehard
Following code can be used in a nodeRed function node to convert raw data directly:
var data={};
var buf = msg.advertisement.manufacturerData;
data.payload={};
data.payload.batt = buf.readUInt16BE(14)/1000.0+" V";
data.payload.temp = buf.readInt8(4)+buf.readUInt8(5)/100.0;
data.payload.hum = buf.readInt8(3)/2.0;
data.payload.accX = buf.readInt16BE(8)/1000.0;
data.payload.accY = buf.readInt16BE(10)/1000.0;
data.payload.accZ = buf.readInt16BE(12)/1000.0;
data.payload.press = buf.readUInt16BE(6)+50000+" Pa";
return data;
Hi @etatto, I realize this is a really old post but could you explain why you do the start/stop nodes with the delay?
Hello Chuck and welcome, it just so that the Bluetooth are not constantly scanning. In this case its used for temperature reading, it do not change that fast. For constant reading of acceleration you would have to change that part.

Caught my eye, Maybe you’re running RuuviTags in URL mode? Try pressing button B until red led blinks on RuuviTag, or updating firmware to 2.5.9 as instructed in Software Update - Ruuvi
Hi
I found this guide today, planning to try it later, nice and concise way to set up.
Hi,
just updated one of my ruuvi tags to 2.5.9 and I’m getting very weird values for temperature:
sometimes +100 sometimes -100.
batt: "5.313 V"
temp: -125.29
hum: 8.5
accX: 29.184
accY: 0
accZ: 8.196
press: "76553 Pa"
I’m using the following code on node red. Values arrive via mqtt from espruino hub, before the update it was fine:
var data={};
var buf = Buffer.from(msg.payload.manufacturerData,'hex');
data.payload={};
data.payload.batt = buf.readUInt16BE(14)/1000.0+" V";
data.payload.temp = buf.readInt8(4)+buf.readUInt8(5)/100.0;
data.payload.hum = buf.readInt8(3)/2.0;
data.payload.accX = buf.readInt16BE(8)/1000.0;
data.payload.accY = buf.readInt16BE(10)/1000.0;
data.payload.accZ = buf.readInt16BE(12)/1000.0;
data.payload.press = buf.readUInt16BE(6)+50000+" Pa";
return data;
Something changed for 2.5.9 to decode the values?
Regards
Stefan
Hello Stefan,
2.5.9 sends in RAWv2 format by default which has some new features that aren’t compatible with the previous version. You can press the button “B” twice to enter the previous data format, red led is blinking when you’re in the RAWv1 format.
If you want to get the new features, feel free to use this code in your parser: https://github.com/ojousima/node-red/blob/master/ruuvi-node/ruuvitag.js
