Keep connection alive

Open fhempy opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Hi,

have your tried to connect to eq3bt only once and keep the connection alive? I don't think that it would drain the battery too much. Would you mind adding such a functionality to python-eq3bt?

Hi, I haven't tried to see if these devices keep on notifying about updates if you keep it open (but I'd expect it to do so). The problem is not just battery draining (which is likely causes), but it will also block other accesses to the device.

Anyway, I'm open for PRs that add optional support for continuous listening mode. I'm not going to work on that myself, as I don't use these devices anymore.

Thanks for your reply. I created a PR with some updates.

It would be great if you could release a new version to pip as well. Thx!
