Winrt API Python getting Bluetooth signal strength

I am trying to measure Bluetooth signal strength using winrt APi in python using winsdk. My workflow is to measure Bluetooth Signal strength of a device that is already connected with my Windows machine. I followed the guideline from Pywinrt documentation found here:
Here is my code snippet:
import asyncio
import winsdk.windows.devices.enumeration as e
import winsdk.windows.devices.bluetooth as bl
async def scan():
sig_strength = "System.Devices.Aep.SignalStrength"
additionalProperties = [sig_strength]
watcher = e.DeviceInformation.create_watcher(bl.BluetoothDevice.get_device_selector(), additionalProperties)
received_queue = asyncio.Queue()
def added_w(device_watcher, device_info_update):
if(device_info_update.name == "my_device"):
print("found!")
for value, key in enumerate(device_info_update.properties):
if key == "System.Devices.Aep.SignalStrength":
print("signal strength: {}".format(value) )
def updated_w(device_watcher, device_info_update):
print("update for {} with kind {}".format(device_info_update.id, device_info_update.kind))
def removed_w(device_watcher, device_info_update):
pass
def stopped_w(device_watcher, device_info_update):
pass
received_token = watcher.add_added(
lambda s, e: event_loop.call_soon_threadsafe(added_w, s, e)
)
updated_token = watcher.add_updated(
lambda s, e: event_loop.call_soon_threadsafe(updated_w, s, e)
)
removed_token = watcher.add_removed(
lambda s, e: event_loop.call_soon_threadsafe(removed_w, s, e)
)
event_loop = asyncio.get_running_loop()
stopped_future = event_loop.create_future()
def handle_stopped(sender, event_args):
stopped_future.set_result(event_args)
try:
print("scanning...")
watcher.start()
# this is the consumer for the received event queue
async def print_received():
while True:
event_args = await received_queue.get()
print(
"received:",
event_args.bluetooth_address.to_bytes(6, "big").hex(":"),
event_args.raw_signal_strength_in_d_bm, "dBm",
)
printer_task = asyncio.create_task(print_received())
# since the print task is an infinite loop, we have to cancel it when we don't need it anymore
stopped_future.add_done_callback(printer_task.cancel)
# scan for 30 seconds or until an unexpected stopped event (due to error)
done, pending = await asyncio.wait(
[stopped_future, printer_task], timeout=30, return_when=asyncio.FIRST_COMPLETED
)
if stopped_future in done:
print("unexpected stopped event", stopped_future.result().error)
else:
print("stopping...")
watcher.stop()
await stopped_future
finally:
# event handler are removed in a finally block to ensure we don't leak
watcher.remove_received(received_token)
watcher.remove_stopped(handle_stopped)
asyncio.run(scan())
However, I only get a fixed RSSI value 8 in my print in added_w function.
Any help on potential solution would be greatly appreciated!

Can´t consume messages from topic

I have the following code:
from confluent_kafka.admin import AdminClient, NewTopic
a = AdminClient({'bootstrap.servers': 'localhost:9092'})
new_topics = [NewTopic(topic, num_partitions=3, replication_factor=1) for topic in ["topic1", "topic2"]]
fs = a.create_topics(new_topics)
for topic, f in fs.items():
try:
f.result()
print("Topic {} created".format(topic))
except Exception as e:
print("Failed to create topic {}: {}".format(topic, e))
Creating the topics worked fine.
This is my producer:
from confluent_kafka import Producer
p = Producer({'bootstrap.servers': 'localhost:9092'})
some_data_source = ["hello", "wuff"]
def delivery_report(err, msg):
if err is not None:
print('Message delivery failed: {}'.format(err))
else:
print('Message delivered to {} [{}]'.format(msg.topic(), msg.partition()))
for data in some_data_source:
p.poll(0)
p.produce('mytopic', data.encode('utf-8'), callback=delivery_report)
p.flush()
Message delivered to mytopic [0]
Message delivered to mytopic [0]
Consumer:
from confluent_kafka import Consumer
c = Consumer({
'bootstrap.servers': 'localhost:9092',
'group.id': 'mygroup',
'auto.offset.reset': 'earliest'
})
c.subscribe(['topic1'])
while True:
msg = c.poll(1.0)
print(msg)
if msg is None:
continue
if msg.error():
print("Consumer error: {}".format(msg.error()))
continue
print('Received message: {}'.format(msg.value().decode('utf-8')))
c.close()
When I subscribe to the topic (which works), I only get None every second. Am I doing something wrong here? Does it has to do something with 'group.id': 'mygroup'? Can anyone help me?

Your producer code is writing to mytopic topic. Which doesn't match your create script or what your consumer has subscribed to.
Also, if you don't want it to print None, then move the print statement inside the if statement since poll function can return None
As commented, you may also want to try further debugging with CLI tools

IBM Stats subscription topic always returns Reason 2033: FAILED: MQRC_NO_MSG_AVAILABLE

I am attempting to port some old java code to python.
I am using pymqi to connect to a queue manager and query for all messageflow statistics topics using the topic string: $SYS/Broker/+/StatisticsAccounting/Archive/#
When using the existing java program messages are read from the topic without issue.
When using the new python code it is able to connect and query the topic without issue but always gives the message
Reason 2033: FAILED: MQRC_NO_MSG_AVAILABLE
Stats messages are published by the broker for each messageflow every 10 minutes, and I have left the new code running for over 30minutes, never having received a message.
I've also tried setting
get_opts['WaitInterval'] = pymqi.CMQC.MQWI_UNLIMITED
and sitting around for 20minutes rather than using a loop, but no luck.
Is there any IIB server config that might be impacting the messages that I am able to see, or are there other options I should be using within the client?

queue_manager = 'MYQM'

sub_desc.set_vs('ObjectString', topic_string)
sub = pymqi.Subscription(qmgr)

Trying to consume messages with python multiprocessing

I am not able to consume messages with the below code. I am able to consume if I just directly consOne.startLoop(). What am I missing here. Appreciate the help.
from confluent_kafka import Consumer, KafkaError, KafkaException, TopicPartition

idlist = []

consumerConf = {}
consumerConf['bootstrap.servers'] = bootstrapServers
consumerConf['group.id'] = groupId

print(consumerConf)
return consumerConf
def createConsumer(consumerConf, topic):
consumer = Consumer(consumerConf)
consumer.subscribe([topic])
print("consumer subscribed to topic {}".format(topic))
return consumer
# self.consumer.assign([TopicPartition(topic, partition)])
def startLoop(consumer):
try:
while True:
message = consumer.poll(1.0)
if message is None:
print("none")
continue
elif message.error():
if message.error().code == KafkaError._PARTITION_EOF:
sys.stderr.write('EOF Partition - {} '.format(message.partition()))
else:
sys.stderr.write('Consumer Error on Topic - {} '.format(message.topic()))
sys.stderr.write('''-- topic - {}
-- partition - {}
-- offset - {}'''.format(
message.topic(), message.partition(), message.offset()))
else:
print('Received message: {}'.format(message.value().decode('utf-8')))
handleMessage(message.value())
except KeyboardInterrupt:
sys.stderr.write('Kafka Exception raised - {} '.format(message.topic()))
sys.exit(1)
finally:
consumer.close()
# body of the message or (message.vlue())

# doesn't work :(
processOne.start()
processOne.join()

Probably you use multiprocessing in the wrong way. An example of the official document.
Make sure that the main module can be safely imported by a new Python interpreter without causing unintended side effects (such a starting a new process). Safe importing of main module | Programming guidelines
So, It is necessary to start a process in if __name__ == '__main__':.

Consuming and replying to separate queues | Pika implementation

I am struggling to solve my issue, hope anyone from the community can help me here.
Our requirement is locked and can't be changed as the producer publishing the queues is controlled by a different team.
Producer which is written in JAVA declares three queues (TASK, RESPONSE, TASK_RESPONSE) and listens on them with the help of spring framework.
A hashmap is sent to the TASK and TASK_RESPONSE queue from the java AMQP client (Producer).
We need to consume these hashmaps and send the responses as follows.
If the queue TASK is processed, the response needs to be sent on RESPONSE queue incrementally.
If the queue TASK_RESPONSE is processed, the response needs to be sent on TASK_RESPONSE queue incrementally (RPC mode).
Now, we need to consume and publish this in python since we need to do some background processing on the tasks.
I tried to work with celery and dramatiq, but was not able to figure out how it can be done with them, so I tried writing myself (with the help of tutorials available online)
Problem is, I am able to consume the messages but not able to reply_to the RESPONSE queue. Here is my code.
