Hi Ed, What I do is call `gatt.select-attribute` on the characteristic called "Battery Level", but it is not shown in your case. So maybe this is the bug that you are encountering. What is the exact version of your BlueZ (commit sha if possible)? Could you also try tip of tree to see if this is already fixed?
