This is an issue with the beacon, or lack thereof. I usually test libfitbit with the fitbit on the base, which means the beacon signal always gets a response. Obviously, this is a bad idea. :)

I need to make the beacon timeout after a second, and retry. I'll try to get that fixed ASAP, but if you test with the fitbit on the base, it should work that way.

Yeah, that worked, thanks !

Actually, there wasn't even a bug in the first place. The beacon signal /is/ getting sent, it can just take a variable amount of time to contact the tracker. Not only that, if you've just run a web client process, the last thing the web client does is turn off the tracker beacon response for 15 minutes.
