Seeking Beta testers (Victron users especially) for Bluetooth sensor capable plugin for SignalK

[naugehyde]

Hi all. I'm looking for Beta testers for a substantially revised version of my bt-sensor-plugin-sk plugin. The latest revisions are here: https://github.com/naugehyde/bt-sensors-plugin-sk/tree/1.1.0 (Docs are NOT up to date as of this writing)

I'm looking for mariners with Victron equipment as well as Inkbird and Xiaomi sensors on their boats. If your boat has a Bluetooth-enabled sensor not currently supported by the plugin that you'd like integrated into the SK data model, just let me know and I'll do my best to code it for you.

Thanks.

In case of Victron devices, how does this plugin differ from https://github.com/stefanor/signalk-victron-ble?

The plug-in is a native nodejs app not a wrapper around a python process like the signalk-victron-ble. The plugin supports a wide variety of Bluetooth devices and is modular-- you can program your own sensor class and add support for previously unsupported devices. FWIW, several of the data constants were translated from the victron-ble python code into node-js. I also used the victron-ble python parse code as a partial guide for how to implement my own. Some credit is due to the creator of victron-ble (https://github.com/keshavdv).

I would like to give it a try if you need more testers.

Hi Steve. Plenty of untested Victron devices remaining to be tested. The more input the better.

1. What kind of BT sensors do you have on board?
2. Does your boat have any kind of remote internet access? (So I can ssh in and debug remotely)

Thanks!

We have a single BMV-712 and no Internet access.
Running signalk on a Raspberry PI.

With the latest firmware and encryption key in the config, you should be able to use the app and it should return good numbers. Latest beta is in the app store. Feel free to install and test.
