Hi there,

I understand the frustration – Bluetooth printer integration with Odoo POS on Android devices like the Sunmi D2S can be tricky. The reason you're running into issues is that Odoo POS's built-in printing options (ePOS and IoT Box) are designed for network-based printing, not Bluetooth connections on mobile devices.

Why your current attempts aren't working:

• ePOS Printer option: Only works with specific Epson network printers that support the ePOS protocol. Bluetooth printers don't use this protocol.
• IoT Box: Requires a separate Raspberry Pi-based device that acts as a bridge between Odoo and your printers. Your Sunmi D2S is not an IoT Box replacement.

Options to consider:

1. Check if Sunmi provides a printer SDK integration: Some Sunmi devices have their own printing API that can be accessed through custom apps. You might need to work with an Odoo developer to create a custom module that interfaces with Sunmi's printer SDK. This would be a development project.
2. Network printing conversion: If your Sunmi D2S can connect to Wi-Fi, you could potentially use a network-to-Bluetooth bridge or configure network printing, but this adds complexity and may not be worth it.

3. Software-based printing solution: Since you're using Odoo Online (SaaS), you could use a software subscription service that works with mobile devices. I work with Odoo Skillz and we built Ultraprint specifically for these scenarios – it's 100% software-based (no hardware needed), and it works with any printer that your device can access (including Bluetooth printers on Android). Important: all printing stays on your local network through your Odoo server, not routed through external services. Key benefits for your setup:

   • Works from mobile/Android devices natively
   • 5-minute setup
   • No IoT Box or special hardware required
   • 99.9% uptime guarantee
   • Starts at $18.9/month for small setups

Bottom line: Loyverse works because they built native support for Sunmi's printer APIs. Odoo POS doesn't have this out of the box, so you'll need either custom development or a printing solution that bridges the gap.

What's your business type and scale? That might help determine which approach makes the most sense for you.

Full disclosure: I'm with Odoo Skillz, but I want to give you the full picture of your options. Feel free to reach out if you have questions about any of these approaches!

Hello,

Considering that your requirement is still open, we would like to revisit your query regarding the connection of Odoo POS with the Sunmi D2S Bluetooth POS Receipt Printer.

I would like to inform you that you can efficiently connect your Sunmi device via our POS Mobile Application. Based on your requirement for Bluetooth printing, we would like to share that we already have expertise in integrating Sunmi devices with Odoo POS. For example, we have successfully connected the Sunmi V2 series with Odoo using our POS mobile app 

With respect to the D2S Bluetooth printer, we can further guide you on the integration process. May I kindly confirm whether your current setup is running online only, or you have switched to, on-premise, or on Odoo.sh? This clarification will help us suggest the right approach, as please note that third-party apps cannot be used in the online (SaaS) version of Odoo.

We would be happy to discuss your existing challenges in detail and work out the most suitable solution. For further discussion, please drop us an email at support@webkul.com

Looking forward to your response.

When the printer connects to a network, it automatically prints a ticket with its IP address

Hi RYu, 

Any updates on this issue, did you get the sunmi device fully operational? 

Greetings

Hi RYu,

Interesting Scenario. I've always wanted to test the Sunmi D2S Combo POS with Odoo. Were you able to resolve this issue?

Did the other features work flawlessly, such as dual monitor, barcode scanner etc with the Odoo POS ?

Hi RYu

Maybe https://apps.odoo.com/apps/modules/16.0/EasyERPS_pos_bluetooth_built-in_printer/ can help?

Best regards, Philipp
