Health interface in org.bluez

Asked by bushwalker on 2011-02-04

I have installed bluez 4.85 on my Ubuntu and was expecting following Health Interfaces in service org.bluez:

Org.bluez.HealthManager
Org.bluez.HealthApplication
Org.bluez.HealthService
Org.bluez.HealthAgent

I can see only org.bluez.Manager interface available. How could I get those interfaces.

I will appreciate any advice.

Regards

The Health Device Profile was included in bluez in version 4.72, and the version supplied by Ubuntu 10.10 is 4.69.
Maybe file a wishlist bug to update bluez, the latest version is 4.77

You can download the tarball and try and install the later versions from bluez.org. You will also need to update other packages like obexd (to ver 40), and bluez-hcidump (to version 2.0). See the below thread for someone's experience who did this.

how can i enable :

org.bluez.HealthManager
org.bluez.HealthApplication
org.bluez.HealthService
org.bluez.HealthAgent
org.bluez.mcap

profile in bluez

You cannot do that until you update bluez to version 4.72 or later.

now i can see

org.bluez.HealthManager
org.bluez.mcap

interfaces. what i did:

0. wipe away 4.69 (including onfiguration files, dpkg -P xxxx)
1. installed bluez 4.85 deb packages from natty (https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bluez)
2. compile http://gitorious.org/bluez-epx/bluez-epx/trees/pts (autoreconf -i -> enable health in configure (--enable-health) -> ./configure -> make -> make install)

hopefully it will work for you. its better to try on test environment, in case..
