Support for MacOS about homebridge-bluetooth HOT 6 CLOSED

I'm using macOS 10.12.

from homebridge-bluetooth.

Hello!
Thanks for opening the 1st issue :) Does your mac have built-in support for Bluetooth 4.0 (Low Energy)?

from homebridge-bluetooth.

Well I use a lot of BLE devices with my mac, so I believe it should have built in support. It's pretty new and works with handoff etc so, yes it does have built in BLE support

installing Noble throws the following:

sudo npm install -g noble
Password:
/usr/local/lib
└── [email protected]

npm WARN optional SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: bluetooth-hci-socket@^0.5.1 (node_modules/noble/node_modules/bluetooth-hci-socket):
npm WARN notsup SKIPPING OPTIONAL DEPENDENCY: Unsupported platform for [email protected]: wanted {"os":"linux,android,win32","arch":"any"} (current: {"os":"darwin","arch":"x64"})

If i run some test code to check if noble was successfully installed, I get an error saying that package "noble" was not found - so my guess is that it didn't install?

Hmm... That's puzzling. I'm not very familiar with noble internals and I saw you already opened an issue there, so hopefully Sandeep will be able to help. Everything installs fine on my macOS 10.12, but npm skips optional dependency to bluetooth-hci-socket.

BTW, You can get a list of installed packages by running npm --list and | grep noble to see if it really installed.

Hmm ok. I'm still figuring this out, but I think the bluetooth part is working now. I'm still trying to understand how the whole plugin stuff works though.

I'm trying to get this to work with a BLE accessory that I created based on the MBed platform. Would you mind being contacted to lend some help?
