BLE Whitelist. #331

maxi1134 · 2018-12-19T16:23:23Z

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
A Whitelist for the Bluetooth Scan for MQTT presence location.

Describe the solution you'd like
A whitelist, this would allow to reduce irrelevant data on the MQTT server, Living in an appartment block, I usually get 20 to 30 devices detected per scan.

Describe alternatives you've considered
A black list could also be usefull.

Additional context
Pretty straightforward.

1technophile · 2018-12-20T21:07:22Z

Do you think an mqtt json payload with the list of whitelist & blacklist devices answer the need?

maxi1134 · 2018-12-20T23:26:20Z

I was more thinking of something along the lines of a whitelist hardcode in the firmware.
Or maybe a network file with the list of White/Black listed items.

Right now, I am at 1.8k Topics due to my 7 Esp32 spamming every single thing they find.
They do a scan per second, let's say that my node-red interface is unusable since I started the esp32.

rickitaly · 2019-01-20T14:17:11Z

Agree, would be great to scan and get mqtt msg only for relevant BLE devices!

tunip · 2019-01-20T15:53:41Z

Thats the way ESPHome works. Define MAC for relevant devices. Would be great OMG has this feature too.

NogNog87 · 2019-02-19T15:25:32Z

It would be great to get a scan of one or more g-tags (beacons) that you define yourself (whitelist). Perfect would be information that the beacon is in range or not. If it not in range you get the payload "off" or similar

1technophile · 2019-02-19T19:50:29Z

I'm planning to add this feature to the next release. Nevertheless I'm still thinking about how to set this whitelist. @maxi1134 the drawback with hardcoded list is that users that take directly the binary file will not be able to use this feature. Why would you not be interested in passing the list by mqtt?

maxi1134 · 2019-02-19T19:52:40Z

@1technophile I'm not against the idea. MQTT Would be a more elegant solution now that I think about it.
Easier to append more devices without reflashing everything.

1technophile · 2019-02-19T19:54:04Z

ok thanks for the feedback I will design it like that

Hello,

where i can set the Whitelist?

Hello, the infos were on the commit msg:
set black list
mosquitto_pub -t home/OpenMQTTGateway/commands/MQTTtoBT/set -m '{"black-list":["012314551615","4C6577889C79","edfrgtyjulik"]}'
set white list
mosquitto_pub -t home/OpenMQTTGateway/commands/MQTTtoBT/set -m '{"white-list":["012314551615","4C65A5553C79","edfrgtyjulik"]}'

maxi1134 · 2019-05-07T00:03:18Z

Question, would it be possible to have a separate topic for the Whitelist? This way you can update whitelist for multiple gateways at once. Myself I use 8 to do per room location.

1technophile · 2019-05-09T18:45:16Z

Did you try to publish to all the gateways like that:
mosquitto_pub -t home/+/commands/MQTTtoBT/set -m '{"white-list":["012314551615","4C65A5553C79","edfrgtyjulik"]}'

jamesyym · 2019-06-18T16:10:15Z

Hi,
Could you please explain more about this, where and how to set?
Thanks a lot.

1technophile · 2019-06-18T18:25:41Z

Hi, since this I have updated the wiki :
https://github.com/1technophile/OpenMQTTGateway/wiki/User-guide-bluetooth-BLE-09#setting-a-white-or-black-list
You just need to send the command by mqtt to the gateway

maxi1134 · 2019-06-20T16:17:05Z

Hey 1Technophile.

Just updated my tester to the latest version of OMG.
Then I published
{"white-list":["e01126898417"]} to home/Bedroom2/commands/MQTTtoBT/set

This is the result on the serial monitor.

12:15:50.935 -> Hey I got a callback 
12:15:50.935 -> MQTTtoBT json set
12:15:50.935 -> WL set
12:15:50.935 -> E01126898417
12:15:50.935 -> 0
12:15:50.935 -> 1
12:15:50.935 -> 0
12:15:50.935 -> e01126898417
12:15:50.935 -> 0
12:15:50.935 -> 1
12:15:50.935 -> 0

The problem is that it keeps detecting other BL devices and publishing them to home/home_presence/Bedroom2 (The gateway name is Bedroom2)

1technophile · 2019-06-20T19:43:54Z

Hey,

Could you post an extract of the serial monitor when publishing non expectedBLE devices?

maxi1134 · 2019-06-20T19:47:37Z

thanks for pointing this, just corrected it in the development branch

1technophile · 2019-06-20T20:33:17Z

Should be better with my last commit

maxi1134 · 2020-03-08T17:46:53Z

Hi there!

I just tried setting up the whitelist again (Added a bunch of Hues bulbs w/ Bluetooth in my house and now it's really getting spammed 😅) But it doesn't seem to work.

I do see this in the logs of the ESP32 when sending the Whitelist command:
T: Hey I got a callback N: Received json : {"white-list":["E01126898417"]}

But then it keeps listing everything it sees. Instead of just E0:11:26:89:84:17

1technophile · 2020-03-08T18:12:36Z

Hi,

did you followed the topic mentionned in the doc to publish your command?

maxi1134 · 2020-03-08T18:26:10Z

This is what I published, it seems to be the same:

1technophile · 2020-03-08T19:13:16Z

Your topic should end by "config" instead of "set"
home/OpenMQTTGateway/commands/MQTTtoBT/config

ahome-wugu · 2020-05-13T14:15:13Z

Hi, I have managed to make white list work, but is there any way to temp disable the already set white list and enable later? e.g. {"white-list":"off"} or {"white-list":"false"}, thanks !
