Gatttool is deprecated about miflora-mqtt-daemon

[Kernald]

Sorry for the noise, I just opened a similar issue where it actually belongs: basnijholt/miflora#121

[ThomDietrich]

Yes definitely planned to move away from gatttool. I did not find the time for it yet and plant care during winter time (Germany) is not my highest priority :) Thanks for reaching out!

Wouldn't it be possible to simply change "GatttoolBackend" to "BluepyBackend" in this line?

miflora-mqtt-daemon/miflora-mqtt-daemon.py

Line 220 in c4aae6e

flora_poller = MiFloraPoller(mac=mac, backend=GatttoolBackend, cache_timeout=miflora_cache_timeout, retries=3, adapter=used_adapter)

Has this ever been tried and tested?

Maybe this is also a solution for the current kernel issue #83?

[ThomDietrich]

I did not try it. Please try and let us know :)
For a permanent change the solution might need some more testing and definitely some updates to the changes. Please contribute a PR! Thanks :)

BluepyBackend seems to be working fine for me.

@bigkraig: Can you post your Linux version (output of the command "uname -a") you tested with?

How long has your system been running stable with this configuration without restarting the system or deamon?
