GoveeBTTempLogger: Input/Output Error Starting GoveeBTTempLogger

Not sure if this is something I missed, but following the instructions with my Pi ZeroW, I’m seeing this error in the syslog:

Sep  1 10:34:07 picam systemd[1]: Starting GoveeBTTempLogger service...

hciconfig seems to work:

/var/log $ hciconfig
hci0:	Type: Primary  Bus: UART

and

sudo hcitool lescan

Not sure what the IO error is, though I noticed that hcitool lescan fails with Operation Not Permitted, if that’s relevant…

Any suggestions?

@blackketter I believe that I have this correctly working on the PiZero2W now! See https://github.com/wcbonner/GoveeBTTempLogger/commit/537e6211edbb5524dfd15846aa0c817df3566e7a for the function I added.

I need to do a little more checking to see that it’s OK not to create a random bluetooth address of my own, but so far it seems to work.

I expect I’ll be able to close this issue in the next day or two.
