It includes device scanning, connection management, and data parsing for these devices. The package targets Home Assistant integration but can be used standalone; it requires Python 3.12 or later and depends on bleak and bleak-retry-connector for Bluetooth communication and tzlocal for timezone handling.\n\nThe main constraint is that Gardena devices allow only a single paired connection and require a factory reset to accept a new controller\u2014this is a device limitation, not a package limitation. The package provides both a Python API and command-line tools for scanning devices and dumping their state.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you own Gardena Bluetooth watering computers and want local control via Python or Home Assistant. The package is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries a permissive MIT license, and has no known vulnerabilities. The main gotcha is the single-connection limit on the devices themselves, not the package."},"id":"gardena-bluetooth","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gardena-bluetooth","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/gardena-bluetooth.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/gardena-bluetooth/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-08-11","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"gardena-bluetooth","python_support":"supports_current","summary":null},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":73597,"position":14964,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.10.1"}
