Test so far with iPhone 7 (my own phone). I did a quick test with some Android phones but these doesn't show up in the CoronaTeller.

Need more investigation to find out what is going on. Test with following combinations

  • Raspberry Pi 4 - with iPhone (works) / Android not
  • Raspberry Pi 3 - with iPhone (works) / Android not

If you want to test :

This should give you a list of all the beacons that the Coronateller should see.
$ bluetoothctl
[bluetoothctl]scan.transport le
[bluetoothctl]scan.uuids 0xfd6f
[bluetoothctl]scan on

The script 'testbeacontool.py' gives what the beacontool sees, that should match with the output of the bluetoothctl. If you are in doubt you could unremark line 15, but I don't see any differance. So I think somewhere in beacontools is something wrong.

Workaround

For now I use an external ESP32 that shows all beacons.

Updated bluez from 5.50 to 5.54, same result. I have posted a question to the linux bleuz developer mailing list.

For now I go to work around with a external ESP32, I see all mac addresses but not yet the beacon codes.

Also on a msi laptop with bluetooth it does not work. No beacons shown.
Oh and the rpi 4b I tried it on neither.

Solved in version 2.02 of beacontools, released today ( 29 aug. 2020).

If already installed you can update by : pip3 install beacontools --upgrade
