Stagg EKG Plus
This project uses Python to communicate with the Fellow Stagg EKG+ over BLE. A lot of the information used to create this program came from this post and additional testing I performed.
This is intended to be used with Homebridge and my homebridge-kettle plugin.
Getting Started
Currently, the only change that should be needed is changing the MAC variable in api.py. I plan to add something with a configuration file or environment variable to make this simpler.
Before running you will need to install bluepy.
Systemd
I run this on a Raspberry Pi alongside Homebridge, so I cloned this repo at /root/stagg-ekg-plus and setup this Systemd Service file to easily handle restarts and log to syslog:
[Unit]
Description=Python 3 API for Stagg EKG+
After=syslog.target network-online.target
[Service]
Type=simple
User=root
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 -u /root/stagg-ekg-plus/api.py
Restart=on-failure

KillMode=process
StandardOutput=syslog
StandardError=syslog
[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target
More Info
These are some gattool commands that were really useful when figuring this stuff out:
gatttool -b $KETTLE_MAC -I
# connect, authenticate, and turn on then off
