HA Bluetooth Integration Preparation

[tteck]

Beings Bluetooth is all the rage now...

I decided to create a script from the info at https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/bluetooth/#requirements-for-linux-systems

The script will ask for permission before each step.

It adds the bullseye-backport sources.
Installs and enables dbus-broker and switches from dbus-daemon
Installs BlueZ

Run in the Home Assistant LXC console.

bash -c "$(wget -qLO - https://github.com/tteck/Proxmox/raw/main/misc/bluetooth.sh)"

• I use Home Assistant Core and experienced performance improvements using dbus-broker.
• I currently don't use BlueZ, I'm using BT Proxy instead of a USB device.

The dbus-broker project is an implementation of a message bus as defined by the D-Bus specification. Its aim is to provide high performance and reliability, while keeping compatibility to the D-Bus reference implementation. It is exclusively written for Linux systems, and makes use of many modern features provided by recent Linux kernel releases.

Is Bluetooth working for HA with the BT Proxy in a LXC? HA always tells me not Bluetooth :-(

[tteck]

Works great!
BT Proxy uses ESPHome, Home Assistant will auto-discovery the proxies.

Do you know any way of proxying Bluetooth without external hardware?

[tteck]

I don't

Hello!
Tried running this within HA terminal, not from HA LXC console and got this:

When trying to run it from HA LXC console, got this:

LE: I'm not running LXC HA but HAOS VM (from tteck script also)

[tteck]

This is not compatible with HAOS as it is already built-in to the file system.

Can we use the inbuild bluetooth adapater as a usbpassthroug?
