Hi,
So… I wrote this little library. You can start a BLE scan and get a dump of the advertised info coming.
You do not need any external tool, only python and asyncio
It can decode Eddystone beacon and extract the info
It can detect the Ruuvi Weather Station application and provide the relevant info (trame type 2, 3 and 4)
You need Python 3.5 or up.
It’s on Pypi, to install do
pip3 install aioblescan
To run the default/sample application do
python3 -m aioblescan
This will dump info about the advertised packets
To check Eddystone Beacons, try
python3 -m aioblescan -e
For Ruuvi weather info
python3 -m aioblescan -r
Very early development, but it seems to work. Let me know what you think.
Cheers,
François
