I have installed node-red-contrib-xiaomi-ble and from reading the documentation for noble, finally got it to run using the command:

```auto
sudo setcap cap_net_raw+eip $(eval readlink -f `which node`)

```

However, it now comes up with the error:

```auto
cannot connect: Error: COmmand Disallwoed (oxc)

```

I presume this may be related to the problem documented in

```auto
https://github.com/abandonware/noble

```

that "Some BLE adapters cannot connect to a peripheral while they are scanning"

If this is the case, can anyone tell me how I stop the adapter scanning so that it will connect instead?

Thanks.

Hi @andrewa and welcome to the forum

Can't help with your specific issue but I've moved it into the General category, as that is a better match for your problem
