Dependencies

gattool is used to query the BLE device. It is available in bluez-deprecated for Fedora:

sudo dnf install bluez-deprecated

or as bluez-deprecated-tools in Arch:

paru -S bluez-deprecated-tools

BTScan.py relies on bluepy, and the integration relies on bleak-retry-connector and bleak pip packages.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Supported strips

You can scan BT device with BTScan.py in my repository exec: sudo python3 BTScan.py, code supports led strips whose name begins with "ELK-BLE" or "MELK" or "ELK-BULB".

Code supports controlling lights in HA with write uuid: 0000fff3-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb or 0000ffe1-0000-1000-8000-00805f9b34fb

You can know your uuid with gatttool:

gatttool -I
