PR #92 introduced issues with the tests

The function hci_adapter_exists_and_supports_bluetooth_le is breaking the tests.

I tried to work around that with a mock in ble_controller_test.py:

...
@mock.patch('homekit.controller.tools.hci_adapter_exists_and_supports_bluetooth_le', return_value=True)
class TestBLEController(unittest.TestCase):

    def test_discovery(self, mock1):
        ...

But this only gets used when I change the code under test form

from homekit.controller.tools import hci_adapter_exists_and_supports_bluetooth_le
...
        if not hci_adapter_exists_and_supports_bluetooth_le(adapter):
            raise BluetoothAdapterError('Adapter "{a}" does not suit our needs'.format(a=adapter))
...

to (in my eyes ugly):

import homekit
...
        if not homekit.controller.tools.hci_adapter_exists_and_supports_bluetooth_le(adapter):
            raise BluetoothAdapterError('Adapter "{a}" does not suit our needs'.format(a=adapter))
...

@Jc2k: can you help?

Tests are green again

Gitter does - you can see the vmware_exporter one here https://github.com/pryorda/vmware_exporter/blob/master/README.md - there is a badge that links to it and you can read without signing up. I don’t know how usable it is with a large chat history we’ve only just started using it.

Slack is probably the most closed and wouldn’t go that way.

Discord works in browser too and there is a persistent history but you have to be signed in I think. You could join the home assistant one to get a feel if what it’s like. It’s meant for gamers so has voice chat and stuff but I know a few large non gamer communities (like homeassistant) use it.
