Asus Tinker Board: Error setting up platform bluetooth_tracker

Configuration
1

Hello,

I just added the bluetooth tracker to my configuration but its not working.

Configuration:

  • platform: bluetooth_tracker
    interval_seconds: 15
    consider_home: 150
    track_new_devices: yes

Error:
Error setting up platform bluetooth_tracker

device_id = _bt.hci_get_route()
OSError: [Errno 19] No such device

I also added the BLE Tracker, but it seems that the device does not support it (No BLE adapter found).

  • platform: bluetooth_le_tracker
    interval_seconds: 15
    track_new_devices: yes

I am using the Asus Tinker Board S. Maybe I have to install / configure something?

Did you ever figure out BL/BLE on the tinker board?

Not yet, I tried to setup bluetooth but without success.
I suppose the bluetooth is not activated on tinker, so I dont think its a problem in HA.

Any help would be nice!

Hi Taddeuz,

I got the same problem. I reinstalled everything but nothing works. I hope some one can help us soon!

Hope so, I already had a look at the asus tinker forum, but nothing found.

I plugged in a bluetooth USB dongle and BL is working now, I will test BLE (Tile and Mi Flora) later. Looks like the image or something isn’t right…

7

I just ordered a Bluetooth dongle. Hope it works.

I just tested a dongle with Bluetooth version 4.0. Bluetooth is working but BLE isn’t…

Ordered a Bluetooth dongle from asus and its working fine.

Also the BLE? What type do you use?

I am using the Bluetooth Tracker. Seems to be working fine, but tested it only for one device. The device is listed in known_devices.yaml

device_tracker:

  • platform: bluetooth_tracker
