Vero 4K+ Harmony hub bluetooth pairing

Help and Support Vero 4K / Vero 4K +
1

Because the August update didn’t go well on my Vero 4K+, I decided to reinstall from scratch.
So I had to reconnect to my Logitech Harmony Hub (via Bluetooth, it is being recognized as a Bluetooth keyboard). But the pairing seems to fail since this version of OSMC.
Hence, I tried the following commands while the Harmony Hub was in pairing mode :

osmc@osmc:~$ hcitool scan
Scanning …
00:04:20:E9:F6:42 Harmony Keyboard
osmc@osmc:~$ bluetoothctl
[NEW] Controller CC:4B:73:77:FF:69 osmc [default]
[NEW] Device 00:04:20:E9:F6:42 Harmony Keyboard
[bluetooth]# scan off
[bluetooth]# trust 00:04:20:E9:F6:42
[CHG] Device 00:04:20:E9:F6:42 Trusted: yes
Changing 00:04:20:E9:F6:42 trust succeeded
[bluetooth]# pair 00:04:20:E9:F6:42
Attempting to pair with 00:04:20:E9:F6:42
[CHG] Device 00:04:20:E9:F6:42 Connected: yes
Failed to pair: org.bluez.Error.AuthenticationFailed

Anyone else having similar issues?
Someone who managed to do an upgrade from the previous version, keeping Bluetooth connections?

mmmh, your login is osmc … did you try ‘sudo bluetoothctl’ ?

Unfortunately running the pairing with sudo gives the same result… Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

Pairing my Vero with the Harmony Hub works flawlessly here when doing the whole process via My OSMC. Remove the paired device, check for new devices, initiate the repairing in the Harmony software and the device should show up and properly connect. That has worked for me with the August update - after the switch to our new kernel I had to repair as well IIRC :slightly_smiling_face:

Hi. Long shot, but have you pulled the power on the harmony hub, powered back up then tried pairing? I always need to do this when repairing with a fresh kodi install.

Rebooting the Harmony Hub did the trick.
I have been able to re-pair it to my Vero 4K+
Thanks a lot!
