Indeed, the issue has nothing to do with the mini-PC, which works fine.
The problem comes from the library that is broken.
Thanks for the feedback and especially for the research.
I too was planning to use NUT key fobs.
There are surely alternatives to these key fobs; I need to look for other ideas to manage presence (I was thinking of checking smartphones on the network via LAN MANAGER)
Personally I’m neither a fan of Bluetooth scanning nor of LAN Manager for presence detection. Both are unreliable solutions.
The best approach is often to use your phone to create rules: if I leave this area, then set me as « away from home », otherwise « at home ».
On iOS I do this with « Shortcuts » (official Apple app),
Why not? Yes, I’m curious.
@thekassmachine I wrote this tutorial:
I needed to tell Gladys whether I was at home or not.
Unable to use the Bluetooth on my Android, I followed the Gladys Open API tutorial.
Since my Android is recent, after installing the Tasker app I had to install Task

I have a robotic lawn mower not connected to Wi‑Fi, only via Bluetooth.
I’d like to know if it would be possible to use what’s found here to control it remotely, and especially to receive error messages directly via Gladys because if I don’t open the app I don’t get them.

And in that case, a working Bluetooth module would be necessary.
@gaetanb76 wouldn’t the solution be to use Node-RED?
I found this package:
Hello @pierre-gilles,
Thanks for your reply.
That’s exactly what I was thinking of doing, going through Node-RED.
I also saw that flow, but it only works with robots connected via Wi‑Fi using the API.
I tried it just in case, even though I knew it wouldn’t work.
I had an Automower Connect card installed, but it only worked for 3 years. It’s no longer working. A component appears to be fried. At €250, that stings.
That’s why I’d like to go through Bluetooth and use the Connect@home function which allows managing the robot and receiving error messages.

In my opinion you’re going to have to do quite a bit of tinkering on your side for it to work 
ChatGPT can be your friend to code a small script that allows you to control this robot vacuum, and to plug this script into Gladys using either Node-RED or Gladys’s MQTT API.
Well, my robotic lawnmower is broken.
I’ll get another one with Wi-Fi in addition to Bluetooth, so there’s no need for the extension in that case.
