blexy

blexy

Simple OpenMetrics exporter for BLE devices.

Requirements

• device with BLE compliant transceiver (e.g. RPi 3+)
• Python 3.7+

Running

pip install blexy
blexy --port 8888 --config-file ~/.blexy.yaml

Endpoints

• / - returns list of connected devices in JSON format.
• /metrics - returns values read from connected BLE devices in OpenMetrics format.

Config

• Device & server configuration is by default expected to be placed in ./config.yaml.
• Custom config file path can be specified via -c / --config-file command line option.
• port and log_level can be either specified in config file or through command line options (see blexy -h for exact option names).

Example config file

Below file will make blexy connect to two Xiaomi temperature / humidity sensors and listen on port 8080:

port: 8080
log_level: info
ble:
  devices:
    - name: living room sensor
      model: LYWSD03MMC
      address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
    - name: bedroom sensor
      model: LYWSD03MMC
      address: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx
