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/site-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/site-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/site-packages/radoneye/client.py", line 51, in status return await self.__get_interface().status() ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "/home//.python-virtual-environment/lib/python3.11/site-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.
