Do you have the USB id’s of your adapter?

If it’s not in the list here: https://github.com/sandeepmistry/node-bluetooth-hci-socket#compatible-bluetooth-40-usb-adapters

You’ll need to change this line to add them: https://github.com/sandeepmistry/node-bluetooth-hci-socket/blob/master/lib/usb.js#L66

Please submit a pull request with your changes if this makes things work.

I am getting the same error (“No compatible USB Bluetooth 4.0 device found!”) although I have a Bluetooth adapter listed in the supported devices here (see screenshot below): https://github.com/noble/node-bluetooth-hci-socket#compatible-bluetooth-40-usb-adapters

I am using https://www.npmjs.com/package/node-ruuvitag/v/4.6.1, which in turn uses noble
