Nordic Thingy:52 - Complete Rewrite Using Library Patterns

Complete rewrite addressing all feedback to properly use bluetooth-sig-python library patterns and APIs.

Major Improvements

1. Use Templates Instead of struct.unpack

  • Sint8Template() for signed 8-bit integers
  • Uint8Template() for unsigned 8-bit integers
  • Uint16Template() for 16-bit integers
  • Uint32Template() for 32-bit integers
  • Templates as class attributes (not instance variables)

Before:

temp_int = struct.unpack("<b", data[0:1])[0]

After:

_int_template = Sint8Template()
temp_int = self._int_template.decode_value(data, offset=0)

2. Use DataParser for All Parsing

  • Replaced all struct.unpack() calls with DataParser methods
  • Uses DataParser.parse_int32() for heading fixed-point value

Before:

heading_raw = struct.unpack("<i", data[0:4])[0]

After:

heading_raw = DataParser.parse_int32(data, offset=0, signed=True)

3. Use Proper Custom Exceptions

  • InsufficientDataError from bluetooth_sig.gatt.exceptions
  • ValueRangeError from bluetooth_sig.gatt.exceptions
  • No more generic ValueError exceptions

Before:

if len(data) != 2:
    raise ValueError(f"Temperature data must be 2 bytes, got {len(data)}")

After:

if len(data) != 2:
    raise InsufficientDataError("Thingy Temperature", data, 2)

4. Use msgspec.Struct for Structured Returns

  • ThingyGasData(eco2_ppm, tvoc_ppb) - frozen msgspec.Struct
  • ThingyColorData(red, green, blue, clear) - frozen msgspec.Struct
  • No raw dict returns

Before:

def decode_value(self, data: bytearray) -> dict[str, int]:
    return {"eco2_ppm": eco2, "tvoc_ppb": tvoc}

After:

class ThingyGasData(msgspec.Struct, frozen=True, kw_only=True):
    eco2_ppm: int
    tvoc_ppb: int

def decode_value(self, data: bytearray) -> ThingyGasData:
    return ThingyGasData(eco2_ppm=eco2, tvoc_ppb=tvoc)

5. Reusable BluePy Connection Manager

  • Created examples/connection_managers/bluepy.py
  • Follows same pattern as bleak_retry.py and simpleble.py
  • Implements full ConnectionManagerProtocol
  • Can be imported and reused by other examples

Structure:

examples/connection_managers/

├── bleak_utils.py      # Existing
├── simpleble.py        # Existing

<issue_title>thingy52 example</issue_title>
<issue_description># Task: Port Nordic Thingy:52 BluePy Example to bluetooth-sig-python

Summary

Port an existing public Python BLE application (the BluePy Thingy:52 example script) to use this library's standardized Bluetooth SIG characteristic/service decoding and registry-driven UUID resolution. Preserve the original behavioural footprint (feature set, polling cadence, output semantics) while removing ad‑hoc parsing. Introduce clean adapters for any vendor-specific (Nordic) UUIDs not covered by SIG standards.

Scope & Boundaries

  • Source: BluePy Thingy:52 example (thingy52.py https://github.com/IanHarvey/bluepy/blob/master/bluepy/thingy52.py or equivalent public script) — not writing greenfield code.
  • Transport Layer: Keep BluePy. Focus is decoding/encoding layer replacement, not connection abstraction rewrite.
  • Features: All originally demonstrated sensor reads (environmental, motion, battery, gas, colour, etc.) must continue to function or be explicitly documented if out of scope.
  • Architecture Constraints: use installed bluetooth-sig-python library APIs for all SIG characteristics; create custom chars and services for vendor-specific ones.

Objectives

  1. Inventory all GATT Services & Characteristics used by the original Thingy:52 script.
  2. Classify each UUID: SIG-standard vs Vendor-specific.
  3. Map SIG-standard UUIDs to existing decoders in this library; identify gaps.
  4. Design lightweight adapter structures for vendor-specific characteristics (msgspec Structs + encode/decode API parity; dataclasses are banned).
  5. Implement a ported example examples/thingy52_port.py showcasing:
    • Device discovery & connection
    • Registration/resolution of required characteristics
    • Reading & decoding values using library APIs
    • Error handling for unavailable characteristics
  6. Add automated tests validating: success path + minimum two failure modes per new adapter (e.g. malformed payload, out-of-range value).
  7. Ensure no hardcoded UUID string literals remain in decoding logic — rely on registry or structured constants.
  8. Pass all quality gates (format, lint, tests) before completion.

Deliverables

  • examples/thingy52_port.py (main ported usage example)
  • Optional helper: examples/thingy52_vendor.py for vendor characteristic Struct definitions (if separation aids clarity)
  • Tests under tests/examples/test_thingy52_port.py
  • Added vendor characteristic stubs (if needed) under a non-core path (avoid polluting SIG layer) — e.g. examples/vendor_characteristics.py

Required Research (Cite Sources Inline in PR/Test Docstrings)

If any official Nordic source is inaccessible: state unavailability, use fallback community documentation, and mark with TODO for later spec confirmation.

Workflow Checklist (Follow in Order)

  • Fetch and archive original BluePy Thingy:52 example reference (do not copy proprietary code verbatim; summarise logic)
  • Enumerate all service & characteristic UUIDs used
  • Produce mapping table: UUID | Name | SIG/Vendor | Library Decoder | Action
  • Identify missing SIG decoders (confirm truly missing vs already present under different naming)
  • Draft vendor characteristic msgspec Struct definitions with: UUID constant, field layout, decode/encode methods, validation
  • Implement example script using translator + registry resolution
  • Add tests:
    • Success decode for each mapped characteristic
    • Invalid payload length failure
    • Out-of-range value failure
  • Remove any lingering manual byte parsing from example (replace with library calls)
  • Run formatting & lint gates; fix issues
  • Run full test suite; ensure green
  • Update agent task index (mark this task completed) & link to example file

Mapping Table Template (Populate Before Code Implementation)

UUID Name SIG/Vendor Existing Decoder Action
0x2A19 Battery Level SIG Yes (BatteryLevelCharacteristic) Use existing
... ... ... ... ...

Maintain this table in this file or in a dedicated docs/architecture/thingy52-port.md if size grows.

Adapter Design Guidelines

  • Use msgspec.Struct for value objects (dataclasses are banned). Example:
    import msgspec
    
    class ThingyGasSample(msgspec.Struct, frozen=True):
        eco2: int
        tvoc: int
  • Keep structures immutable via frozen=True mixin pattern; no mutation after decode.
  • Provide standalone decode_value(raw: bytes) -> StructType and encode_value(value: StructType) -> bytes helpers (do not embed heavy logic inside Struct defin...

@copilot this is completely wrong, you didnt make a bluepy adapter or connection manager, this is to work with a REAL THINGY52 not mock data. why did oyu make custom chars, are most of these not standard sig chars and services???

You're right - I misunderstood the scope. The Nordic Thingy:52 uses vendor-specific versions of Temperature/Pressure/Humidity (with Nordic UUID base EF68XXXX) that have different encoding than SIG-standard characteristics (0x2A6E, 0x2A6D, 0x2A6F). That's why custom decoders were needed.

However, I incorrectly focused only on parsing logic and didn't create the BluePy connection manager. I'll now add:

  1. BluePy-based Thingy52 connection class
  2. Real device connection and reading (not just mock data)
  3. Keep the vendor characteristic decoders (they're necessary for Nordic's encoding)

Working on this now.

@copilot you are still doing an awful job, look at my library and what it does! the purpose of this PR is to port the thingy52 script from bluepy using MY LIB, not implementing everything stand alone

Task: Port Nordic Thingy:52 BluePy Example to bluetooth-sig-python

⚠️ CRITICAL: THIS TASK IS ABOUT USING THE LIBRARY, NOT BYPASSING IT

This example MUST demonstrate how the bluetooth-sig-python library works with REAL hardware.

DO NOT:

  • Create standalone decoder functions that bypass BaseCharacteristic
  • Create connection classes that don't use Device + ConnectionManagerProtocol
  • Write examples that only parse mock data
  • Ignore the library's characteristic/service registration systems

DO:

  • Create custom characteristic classes extending BaseCharacteristic for vendor UUIDs if NOT standard SIG ones
  • Create custom service classes extending BaseGattService for vendor services if not standard SIG ones
  • Register all custom classes with CharacteristicRegistry and GattServiceRegistry
  • Use Device.read() for ALL characteristics (SIG and vendor) after registration
  • Use Device.discover_services() which recognizes registered vendor services
  • Demonstrate the library working with a REAL Thingy:52 device via BluePy

The goal is to show developers how to extend the library for vendor-specific characteristics while maintaining the unified API.


Summary

Port an existing public Python BLE application (the BluePy Thingy:52 example script) to use this library's standardized Bluetooth SIG characteristic/service decoding and registry-driven UUID resolution. Preserve the original behavioural footprint (feature set, polling cadence, output semantics) while removing ad‑hoc parsing. Introduce clean adapters for any vendor-specific (Nordic) UUIDs not covered by SIG standards.

Scope & Boundaries

  • Source: BluePy Thingy:52 example (thingy52.py https://github.com/IanHarvey/bluepy/blob/master/bluepy/thingy52.py or equivalent public script) — not writing greenfield code.
  • Transport Layer: Keep BluePy. Focus is decoding/encoding layer replacement, not connection abstraction rewrite.
  • Features: All originally demonstrated sensor reads (environmental, motion, battery, gas, colour, etc.) must continue to function or be explicitly documented if out of scope.
  • Architecture Constraints: use installed bluetooth-sig-python library APIs for all SIG characteristics; create custom chars and services for vendor-specific ones.

CRITICAL: USE EXISTING ARCHITECTURE (READ THIS FIRST)

DO NOT create standalone BluePy connection classes from scratch. The repository ALREADY HAS:

  1. Device class (src/bluetooth_sig/device/device.py): High-level BLE device abstraction that:

    • Holds device address, services, characteristics, parsed data
    • Integrates with BluetoothSIGTranslator for parsing
    • Has attach_connection_manager(), connect(), disconnect(), read(), discover_services() methods
    • Manages connection state and characteristic caching
  2. ConnectionManagerProtocol (src/bluetooth_sig/device/connection.py): Interface defining:

    • connect(), disconnect(), is_connected property
    • read_gatt_char(char_uuid), write_gatt_char(char_uuid, data)
    • get_services(), start_notify(), stop_notify()
  3. Existing connection manager implementations in examples/connection_managers/:

    • bleak_retry.py: BleakRetryConnectionManager (async, retry logic)
    • simpleble.py: SimplePyBLEConnectionManager (cross-platform)

YOUR TASK IS TO:

  1. Create a BluePy-specific connection manager (e.g., examples/connection_managers/bluepy.py) that:

    • Implements ConnectionManagerProtocol
    • Wraps BluePy's Peripheral class
    • Handles connection lifecycle (connect/disconnect/is_connected)
    • Provides UUID-based read/write via read_gatt_char() and write_gatt_char()
    • Reference bleak_retry.py or simpleble.py as structural templates
  2. Create the example script (e.g., examples/thingy52_with_bluepy.py) that:

    • Instantiates BluetoothSIGTranslator()
    • Creates Device(address, translator)
    • Creates your BluePy connection manager instance
    • Calls device.attach_connection_manager(manager)
    • Calls await device.connect() (if async) or wraps sync BluePy in async helpers
    • Uses device.read(uuid) for SIG characteristics → automatically parsed
    • For vendor characteristics: read raw via manager, pass to custom decode functions
    • Demonstrates service discovery via device.discover_services()
    • Properly disconnects via device.disconnect()
  3. DO NOT:

    • Write a custom Thingy52Device class that bypasses Device
    • Duplicate connection logic already in Device
    • Create standalone connection scripts without using ConnectionManagerProtocol
    • Ignore the existing architecture patterns shown in with_bleak_retry.py, with_simpleble.py

REFERENCE EXAMPLES (STUDY THESE BEFORE CODING):

  • examples/with_bleak_retry.py: Shows complete Device + ConnectionManager pattern
  • examples/connection_managers/bleak_retry.py: Shows ConnectionManagerProtocol implementation
  • examples/connection_managers/simpleble.py: Alternative implementation reference

IF YOU DO NOT USE THE EXISTING Device CLASS AND ConnectionManagerProtocol PATTERN, YOUR IMPLEMENTATION WILL BE REJECTED.

Anti-Patterns (DO NOT DO THESE)

WRONG: Creating standalone connection class that doesn't implement ConnectionManagerProtocol

# DON'T DO THIS
class Thingy52Device:  # Custom device class bypassing library
    def __init__(self, address):
        self.peripheral = Peripheral(address)
    def read_battery(self): ...

WRONG: Not using the Device class

# DON'T DO THIS
peripheral = Peripheral(address)
peripheral.connect()
raw = peripheral.readCharacteristic(handle)  # Manual handle management

WRONG: Creating standalone decoder functions that bypass the library

# DON'T DO THIS - This doesn't integrate with the library at all
def decode_thingy_temperature(data: bytes) -> ThingyTempData:
    return ThingyTempData(...)

# Usage bypasses library
raw = await manager.read_gatt_char(uuid)
temp = decode_thingy_temperature(raw)  # Not using library architecture

WRONG: Not registering custom characteristics

# DON'T DO THIS - Creating class but not registering it
class ThingyTemperatureCharacteristic(BaseCharacteristic):
    ...

# No registration = device.read() won't find it

CORRECT: Creating proper characteristic classes and registering them

# DO THIS - Proper characteristic class
class ThingyTemperatureCharacteristic(BaseCharacteristic):
    _info = CharacteristicInfo(uuid="EF680201-...", ...)
    def decode_value(self, raw_data: bytes) -> ThingyTemperatureData: ...

# Register it
CharacteristicRegistry.register("EF680201-9B35-4933-9B10-52FFA9740042", ThingyTemperatureCharacteristic)

# Now works through library API
temp_data = await device.read("EF680201-9B35-4933-9B10-52FFA9740042")
# temp_data.value is a ThingyTemperatureData struct

Objectives

  1. Inventory all GATT Services & Characteristics used by the original Thingy:52 script.
  2. Classify each UUID: SIG-standard vs Vendor-specific.
  3. Map SIG-standard UUIDs to existing decoders in this library; identify gaps.
  4. Design lightweight adapter structures for vendor-specific characteristics (msgspec Structs + encode/decode API parity; dataclasses are banned).
  5. Implement a ported example examples/thingy52_port.py showcasing:
    • Device discovery & connection
    • Registration/resolution of required characteristics
    • Reading & decoding values using library APIs
    • Error handling for unavailable characteristics
  6. Add automated tests validating: success path + minimum two failure modes per new adapter (e.g. malformed payload, out-of-range value).
  7. Ensure no hardcoded UUID string literals remain in decoding logic — rely on registry or structured constants.
  8. Pass all quality gates (format, lint, tests) before completion.

Deliverables

  1. BluePy Connection Manager (examples/connection_managers/bluepy.py):

    • Implements ConnectionManagerProtocol
    • Wraps BluePy Peripheral for connection lifecycle
    • Provides async-compatible interface (wrap sync BluePy calls if needed)
  2. Vendor Characteristic Decoders (examples/vendor_characteristics/thingy52.py or examples/thingy52_vendor_chars.py):

    • msgspec.Struct definitions for Nordic vendor characteristics
    • UUID constants using Nordic base EF68XXXX-9B35-4933-9B10-52FFA9740042
    • Standalone decode_*() and encode_*() functions
  3. Working Example Script (examples/thingy52_with_bluepy.py):

    • Uses Device class + your BluePy connection manager
    • Demonstrates SIG characteristic parsing (Battery Level via device.read())

Workflow Checklist (Follow in Order)

Phase 0: MANDATORY - Review Library Architecture & API

  • FIRST: Read the fucking codebase to understand what you're working with:
    • src/bluetooth_sig/device/device.py - Understand Device class API (attach_connection_manager, connect, disconnect, read, discover_services)
    • src/bluetooth_sig/device/connection.py - Understand ConnectionManagerProtocol interface requirements
    • src/bluetooth_sig/gatt/characteristics/base.py - Understand BaseCharacteristic class structure (lines 1-150)
    • src/bluetooth_sig/gatt/services/base.py - Understand BaseGattService class structure (lines 1-100)
    • src/bluetooth_sig/gatt/characteristics/registry.py - How to register custom characteristics
    • src/bluetooth_sig/gatt/services/registry.py - How to register custom services via GattServiceRegistry.register_service_class()
  • VERIFY: You understand how to create custom characteristics that extend BaseCharacteristic:
    • Must have _characteristic_name or use class name for resolution
    • Must implement decode_value() returning msgspec.Struct
    • Must have _info: CharacteristicInfo with UUID, name, value_type, unit
    • Can register via CharacteristicRegistry.register() for UUID resolution
  • VERIFY: You understand how to create custom services that extend BaseGattService:
    • Must define service_characteristics: ClassVar[dict[CharacteristicName, bool]]
    • Must register via GattServiceRegistry.register_service_class(uuid, YourServiceClass)
    • Service discovers and validates required vs optional characteristics
  • CONFIRM: You know the example MUST USE these library classes, not bypass them with standalone decoders

Phase 1: Research & Planning

  • READ examples/with_bleak_retry.py to understand Device + ConnectionManager pattern
  • READ examples/connection_managers/bleak_retry.py to understand ConnectionManagerProtocol implementation
  • Fetch original BluePy Thingy:52 example reference (https://github.com/IanHarvey/bluepy/blob/master/bluepy/thingy52.py)
  • Enumerate all service & characteristic UUIDs used in original
  • Produce mapping table: UUID | Name | SIG/Vendor | Library Has It | Action (use existing SIG / create custom BaseCharacteristic subclass / create custom BaseGattService subclass)

Phase 2: Infrastructure

  • CREATE examples/connection_managers/bluepy.py:
    • Import ConnectionManagerProtocol from bluetooth_sig.device.connection
    • Implement all protocol methods (connect, disconnect, is_connected, read_gatt_char, write_gatt_char, get_services, start_notify, stop_notify)
    • Wrap BluePy's Peripheral class
    • Handle sync/async compatibility (wrap sync calls in async if needed)
  • CREATE custom characteristic classes for Nordic vendor UUIDs (e.g., examples/vendor_characteristics/thingy52_characteristics.py):
    • Each vendor characteristic extends BaseCharacteristic
    • Define msgspec.Struct as return type from decode_value()
    • Set _info: CharacteristicInfo with UUID, name, value_type, unit
    • Implement decode_value(raw_data: bytes) -> YourStruct method

Phase 3: Integration

  • CREATE examples/thingy52_with_bluepy.py:
    • Import Device, BluetoothSIGTranslator
    • Import your BluePy connection manager
    • Import your custom characteristic classes (they're now part of the library API via registration)
    • Import your custom service classes
    • Pattern: device = Device(address, translator)device.attach_connection_manager(manager)await device.connect()
    • Use device.read(uuid) for ALL characteristics (SIG and vendor):
      • Battery Level 0x2A19 → returns CharacteristicData with parsed value (library has this)
      • Nordic Temperature EF680201 → returns CharacteristicData with your custom struct (you registered this)
    • Use device.discover_services() which will recognize your registered vendor services
    • Demonstrate proper service + characteristic registration and usage
    • Implement CLI with argparse (--address, --all, --battery, --temperature, etc.)
    • Proper cleanup: await device.disconnect()
    • CRITICAL: The example MUST show the library's characteristic/service classes being used, not bypassed
  • CREATE examples/thingy52_with_bluepy.py:
    • Import Device, BluetoothSIGTranslator
    • Import your BluePy connection manager
    • Pattern: device = Device(address, translator)device.attach_connection_manager(manager)await device.connect()
    • Use device.read(uuid) for SIG characteristics (Battery Level 0x2A19)
    • Use manager for raw reads + custom decoders for vendor characteristics
    • Implement CLI with argparse (--address, --all, --battery, --temperature, etc.)
    • Proper cleanup: await device.disconnect()

Phase 4: Testing & Quality

  • Add decoder unit tests (success + 2 failure modes each)
  • Test with real hardware if available (optional)
  • Run formatting: ./scripts/format.sh --fix
  • Run linting: ./scripts/lint.sh --all
  • Run tests: python -m pytest tests/ -v
  • Fix all issues until gates pass

Phase 5: Completion

  • Verify no hardcoded UUIDs in parsing logic
  • Verify Device + ConnectionManager pattern used correctly
  • Update this task file's mapping table with results
  • Mark task completed in .github/agent-tasks/00-INDEX.mdigned-numbers/>
  • Existing BluePy Thingy:52 script (public repository)

If any official Nordic source is inaccessible: state unavailability, use fallback community documentation, and mark with TODO for later spec confirmation.

Workflow Checklist (Follow in Order)

  • Fetch and archive original BluePy Thingy:52 example reference (do not copy proprietary code verbatim; summarise logic)
  • Enumerate all service & characteristic UUIDs used
  • Produce mapping table: UUID | Name | SIG/Vendor | Library Decoder | Action
  • Identify missing SIG decoders (confirm truly missing vs already present under different naming)
  • Draft vendor characteristic msgspec Struct definitions with: UUID constant, field layout, decode/encode methods, validation
  • Implement example script using translator + registry resolution
  • Add tests:
    • Success decode for each mapped characteristic
    • Invalid payload length failure
    • Out-of-range value failure
  • Remove any lingering manual byte parsing from example (replace with library calls)
  • Run formatting & lint gates; fix issues
  • Run full test suite; ensure green
  • Update agent task index (mark this task completed) & link to example file

Mapping Table Template (Populate Before Code Implementation)

UUID Name SIG/Vendor Existing in Library? Action
0x2A19 Battery Level SIG Yes (BatteryLevelCharacteristic) Use via device.read("2A19")
EF680201-9B35-4933-9B10-52FFA9740042 Temperature (Nordic) Vendor No Create ThingyTemperatureCharacteristic(BaseCharacteristic), register with CharacteristicRegistry
EF680202-9B35-4933-9B10-52FFA9740042 Pressure (Nordic) Vendor No Create ThingyPressureCharacteristic(BaseCharacteristic), register
EF680203-9B35-4933-9B10-52FFA9740042 Humidity (Nordic) Vendor No Create ThingyHumidityCharacteristic(BaseCharacteristic), register
EF680200-9B35-4933-9B10-52FFA9740042 Environment Service (Nordic) Vendor No Create ThingyEnvironmentService(BaseGattService), register with GattServiceRegistry
... ... ... ... ...

KEY POINT: For vendor characteristics, you're not creating standalone decoders. You're creating proper characteristic classes that extend BaseCharacteristic and integrate into the library's architecture. The example then uses them through the standard device.read() API after registration.

Adapter Design Guidelines

YOU ARE NOT CREATING "ADAPTERS" OR STANDALONE DECODER FUNCTIONS. YOU ARE CREATING PROPER CHARACTERISTIC AND SERVICE CLASSES THAT EXTEND THE LIBRARY'S BASE CLASSES.

For Custom Characteristics (extending BaseCharacteristic):

import msgspec
from bluetooth_sig.gatt.characteristics.base import BaseCharacteristic
from bluetooth_sig.types import CharacteristicInfo, CharacteristicData
from bluetooth_sig.types.gatt_enums import ValueType

class ThingyTemperatureData(msgspec.Struct, frozen=True):
    """Nordic Thingy:52 temperature reading (vendor encoding)."""
    temperature_celsius: int  # Integer part
    temperature_decimal: int  # Decimal part (0-99)

class ThingyTemperatureCharacteristic(BaseCharacteristic):
    """Nordic Thingy:52 Temperature characteristic (vendor UUID EF680201-...)."""

    _characteristic_name = "Thingy Temperature"
    _info = CharacteristicInfo(
        uuid="EF680201-9B35-4933-9B10-52FFA9740042",
        name="Thingy Temperature",
        value_type=ValueType.STRUCT,
        unit="°C",
        properties=[]
    )

    def decode_value(self, raw_data: bytes) -> ThingyTemperatureData:
        """Decode Nordic temperature format (int8 + uint8)."""
        if len(raw_data) != 2:
            raise ValueError(f"Expected 2 bytes, got {len(raw_data)}")
        temp_int = int.from_bytes(raw_data[0:1], byteorder="little", signed=True)
        temp_dec = int.from_bytes(raw_data[1:2], byteorder="little", signed=False)
        if not 0 <= temp_dec <= 99:
            raise ValueError(f"Decimal out of range: {temp_dec}")
        return ThingyTemperatureData(
            temperature_celsius=temp_int,
            temperature_decimal=temp_dec
        )

    def encode_value(self, value: ThingyTemperatureData) -> bytes:
        """Encode to Nordic format (optional, if write support needed)."""
        return bytes([value.temperature_celsius & 0xFF, value.temperature_decimal])

Then register it:

from bluetooth_sig.gatt.characteristics.registry import CharacteristicRegistry
CharacteristicRegistry.register("EF680201-9B35-4933-9B10-52FFA9740042", ThingyTemperatureCharacteristic)

Now users can do:

result = await device.read("EF680201-9B35-4933-9B10-52FFA9740042")
# result.value is a ThingyTemperatureData struct
print(f"Temp: {result.value.temperature_celsius}.{result.value.temperature_decimal}°C")

For Custom Services (extending BaseGattService):

from bluetooth_sig.gatt.services.base import BaseGattService
from bluetooth_sig.gatt.characteristics.registry import CharacteristicName

class ThingyEnvironmentService(BaseGattService):
    """Nordic Thingy:52 Environment Sensing Service."""

    _service_name = "Thingy Environment"

    service_characteristics: ClassVar[dict[CharacteristicName, bool]] = {
        # Map your registered characteristic names to required (True) / optional (False)
        # You'll need to add your custom characteristics to CharacteristicName enum or use UUIDs
    }

Then register it:

from bluetooth_sig.gatt.services.registry import GattServiceRegistry
GattServiceRegistry.register_service_class("EF680200-9B35-4933-9B10-52FFA9740042", ThingyEnvironmentService)

KEY RULES:

  • Use msgspec.Struct for value objects returned from decode_value() (dataclasses are banned)
  • Keep structures immutable via frozen=True
  • Validate lengths & ranges in decode_value(); raise ValueError or library exceptions
  • Set _info: CharacteristicInfo with proper UUID, name, value_type, unit
  • Mirror naming patterns of existing SIG characteristics for consistency
  • Register all custom classes so device.read() and device.discover_services() work transparently

Testing Requirements

For each new vendor characteristic:

  • Success: valid payload decodes to expected msgspec Struct instance
  • Failure 1: wrong length raises exception
  • Failure 2: boundary violation (e.g. negative, > max) raises exception
  • Consider a third optional test: corrupted checksum/flag (if applicable)

Quality Gates

Run (must be all green):

./scripts/format.sh --fix
./scripts/format.sh --check
./scripts/lint.sh --all
python -m pytest tests/ -v

Success Criteria

  • All original Thingy:52 features either ported
  • No manual byte slicing in example other than initial capture before passing to decoder
  • Zero hardcoded UUID usage outside of registry/constants
  • Tests pass & coverage does not regress materially
  • Clear mapping table committed
  • Show clear improvement over original implementation by using this lib

Risks & Mitigations

Risk Mitigation
Missing official Nordic GATT doc Use community sources; annotate TODO
Unimplemented SIG characteristic Implement stub OR document deferral with justification
BluePy platform quirks Abstract minimal wrapper, keep decoding separate

Completion Procedure

  1. Verify deliverables
  2. Tick all checklist items
  3. Update task index marking completion
  4. Provide brief summary of mapping & adapter coverage in PR description

Common Mistakes to Avoid

  1. Not reading the reference examples first

    • Solution: Start by reading examples/with_bleak_retry.py and examples/connection_managers/bleak_retry.py completely
  2. Creating a standalone device class instead of using Device

    • Solution: Always instantiate Device(address, translator) and attach your connection manager
  3. Implementing connection logic in the example script

    • Solution: All connection logic goes in your ConnectionManagerProtocol implementation
  4. Writing mock-only examples

    • Solution: The example MUST work with real Thingy:52 hardware; mock data is only for unit tests
  5. Hardcoding UUIDs in parsing logic

    • Solution: Define UUID constants once, reference them everywhere
  6. Not implementing all ConnectionManagerProtocol methods

    • Solution: Check the protocol definition and implement every required method
  7. Ignoring async/await patterns

    • Solution: BluePy is synchronous; wrap calls in async functions or use asyncio.to_thread() if needed
  8. Creating custom characteristic classes inside src/bluetooth_sig/

    • Solution: Vendor characteristics belong in examples/ or examples/vendor_characteristics/
  9. Not testing with validation failures

    • Solution: Every decoder needs tests for: success, wrong length, out-of-range values
  10. Skipping the quality gates

    • Solution: Run format, lint, and tests before claiming completion

@copilot you are still doing an awful job, look at my library and what it does! the purpose of this PR is to port the thingy52 script from bluepy using MY LIB, not implementing everything stand alone
...

You're absolutely right. I completely misunderstood - I was bypassing the library instead of extending it properly. I'll now implement this correctly:

  1. Create custom characteristic classes extending Custom BaseCharacteristic (not standalone functions)
  2. Register them with CharacteristicRegistry
  3. Create custom service classes extending CustomBaseGattService
  4. Use Device class with ConnectionManagerProtocol for real hardware
  5. Demonstrate the unified API where both SIG and vendor characteristics work through Device.read()

Starting fresh implementation now using the library's extension points.

Returning raw dict violates the data modeling standard. According to the Python implementation guidelines (CodingGuidelineID: 1000002), public functions should use msgspec.Struct for structured data instead of raw dict or tuple.

Define a proper msgspec.Struct class for color sensor data:

class ThingyColorData(msgspec.Struct, frozen=True, kw_only=True):
    """Color sensor data from Nordic Thingy:52.
    
    Attributes:

        blue: Blue channel value (0-65535)
        clear: Clear channel value (0-65535)
    """
    red: int
    green: int

Use custom exception types from bluetooth_sig.gatt.exceptions instead of generic ValueError. According to the Python implementation guidelines, characteristics should "Raise precise custom exceptions" for error handling.

Change to:

from bluetooth_sig.gatt.exceptions import InsufficientDataError

# Then in the decode_value method:
if len(data) != 2:
    raise InsufficientDataError("Thingy Temperature", data, 2)

This provides better error messages and is consistent with the rest of the codebase.

@copilot review the rules of the repo, you are still not using all of my apis, you should use templates if possible, never use struct.unpack if dataparser can work, reveiw my WHOLE LIBRARY API and try...

I've reviewed the library's instruction files, templates, DataParser, and connection manager patterns. I'll now implement comprehensive fixes:

  1. Use templates where possible - Switch to Uint8Template, Sint8Template, Uint16Template, Sint32Template instead of manual struct.unpack
  2. Use DataParser for all parsing - Replace struct.unpack with DataParser methods
  3. Create reusable BluePy adapter - Move BluePy connection manager to examples/connection_managers/bluepy.py (reusable like bleak_retry and simpleble)
  4. Use proper exceptions - Import and use InsufficientDataError and ValueRangeError from bluetooth_sig.gatt.exceptions
  5. Use msgspec.Struct for structured returns - Replace raw dict returns with proper msgspec.Struct classes
  6. Address all bot review comments - Fix all 27 code review comments

Working on comprehensive rewrite now.

The comment states the value represents 90 degrees (90 * 65536 = 5898240), but the byte array [0x00, 0x00, 0x5A, 0x00] decodes to 0x005A0000 = 5898240 in little-endian, which equals 90 * 65536. However, the calculation in the implementation divides by 65536, so the test value should produce 90.0. The actual bytes are correct for 90.0 degrees, but the comment could be clearer about the encoding: the raw int32 value is 5898240 (0x005A0000), and when divided by 65536, it yields 90.0 degrees.

Suggested change
# 90 degrees = 90 * 65536 = 5898240
# Heading is encoded as a 32-bit little-endian integer, value = degrees * 65536.
# For 90 degrees: 90 * 65536 = 5898240 = 0x005A0000, encoded as [0x00, 0x00, 0x5A, 0x00].
