It is.  I guess that means you doxxed my github account.  ;-)

It might be.  As you might have seen, the radoneye author has suggested
some debugging steps which I haven't had a chance to try yet.

I found out today that the software is also having the same issues with the
Debian 12 version of Raspberry Pi OS, but far less often than with Debian
13.  My Debian 12 system was reliable a number of times when I tried it
interactively from a terminal, but when I created a cron job to grab the
data, I have got a lot of errors.  Interestingly, it has (so far) always
retrieved the sensor data before dying a painful death.

On Debian 12 I get whinage ending with a couple of lines like this:

  File "/home//.python-virtual-environment/lib/python3.11/
ite-packages/bleak
/backends/bluezdbus/manager.py", line 644, in get_services
    await self._wait_for_services_discovery(device_path)
  File "/home//.python-virtual-environment/lib/python3.11/
ite-packages/bleak/backends/bluezdbus/manager.py", line 779, in 
wait_for_services_discovery
    raise BleakError("failed to discover services, device disconnected")
bleak.exc.BleakError: failed to discover services, device disconnected

or this

  File "/home//.python-virtual-environment/lib/python3.11/
ite-packages/radoneye/client.py", line 51, in status
    return await self.__get_interface().status()
           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/home//.python-virtual-environment/lib/python3.11/
ite-packages/radoneye/interface_v1.py", line 225, in status
    result = await asyncio.wait_for(future, self.status_read_timeout)
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  File "/usr/lib/python3.11/asyncio/tasks.py", line 492, in wait_for
    raise exceptions.TimeoutError() from exc
TimeoutError

Given that I see it not working well with my Deboan 12 RPi, I am surprised
no-one else has reported issue on the github page.  I wonder if I'm the
only person using this on a Pi.


The system that was working (apparently) flawlessly was an RPi running a
Debian 10.13 system.  Which, ironically, I upgraded because 10.13 is
abandonware, and hasn't had any updates for a while.  So much for my
"upgrade".

Cheers.
