Asus BT400 in HA container 500 Internal Server Error Server got itself in trouble

BoKKeR · June 21, 2023, 3:48am

This is my setup to get bluetooth BCM20702A1 working on my unraid box that runs HA in a container.

Hello! I have managed to make this usb dongle work on unraid but I cant seem to make it show up in the container.

Dongle is Asus bt400

This is my current setup:

downlaoded bluetooth dongle fw from this repo GitHub - winterheart/broadcom-bt-firmware: Repository for various Broadcom Bluetooth firmware
copied it over to the boot/firmware/brmc folder (had to create) cp /mnt/user/backup/BCM20702A1-0b05-17cb.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/
Replugged usb
downloaded bluez wget -P /boot/extra https://slackware.uk/slackware/slackware64-15.0/slackware64/n/bluez-5.63-x86_64-2.txz
installed bluez using installpkg /boot/extra/bluez-5.63-x86_64-2.txz
Made the device show up in unraid as hci0 using hciconfig, hciconfig hci0 up,
I can scan devices etc with hcitool lescan
I passed the PATH of the device to the HA container running in privileged mode, running. (ID from lsusb) /dev/bus/usb/001/007 -> /dev/bus/usb/001/007
I try installing bluetooth or running hcitool inside HA container, get nothing.
I passed a /run/dbus as read-only path. When I try to install the HA bluetooth integration I get the following error:

Config flow could not be loaded: 500 Internal Server Error Server got itself in trouble

If you gain command line in container can you see hci0?

BoKKeR · June 21, 2023, 4:14am

No, devices are empty , I should probably address that first

Can't open HCI socket.: Address family not supported by protocol

Did you end up solving that “Can’t open HCI socket”?

BoKKeR · July 9, 2023, 12:53pm

no, not yet, might switch to VM just to avoid all this trouble

DaveOBarbaro · July 9, 2023, 1:46pm

I ended up purchasing an Atom m5stack to install ESPhome, quite easier to be honest.

BoKKeR · July 9, 2023, 2:56pm

How does that solve the problem? Is it a bluetooth device that connects to HA over the network?

DaveOBarbaro · July 9, 2023, 7:43pm

It works as a bluetooth proxy that will then recognise the rest of your bluetooth devices. Also, given that works over wifi as well you don’t need to have a “physical” connection like the bluetooth dongle.

Thanks, did this as I had a esp32 laying around. works nicely

DaveOBarbaro · July 10, 2023, 11:08pm

Great to hear that it worked.
