Bluetooth BCM43xx add-on failing to initialize on Raspberry Pi 3B

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

Hello,

I’m having trouble to initialize the integrated bluetooth on Raspberry Pi 3B with HassOS 1.7, both 32bit and 64bit images. The add-on (v2.3) fails with following message:

bcm43xx_init
Failed to write reset command
Can't initialize device: No error information

I’ve tried with two different Raspberry Pi units - same result.

Any ideas? Cheers,

marco

The BCM add-on is not made for Hass.io on HassOS. HassOS uses Bluez which is installed by default. Though there are some problems with it in the current version.

I’m trying to get MiFlora working with a new install of HASS.IO using HassOS with no success, is bluetooth basically broken in 1.7?

I am getting the same problem as well, any help would be great.

There are already two other topics about the Bluetooth problems in hass.io on HassOS. Please look at those.

I also have the problem with Bluetooth. Here is the log of my mistake

Same issue on Raspberry Pi 3B+ with Hassio 0.74.2.
