Bluetooth Device Tracker

Configuration

For the life of me I can’t get the bluetooth device tracker working. The log produces the following error:

2017-08-27 15:30:55 ERROR (MainThread) [homeassistant.components.device_tracker] Error setting up platform bluetooth_tracker

I’ve had it working before with previous builds. The only topic I’ve found was closed with the proposed solution to upgrade to the current HASS release.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’m having the same issue here.
Here are my logs:

    device_id = _bt.hci_get_route()

And my configuration.yaml:

device_tracker:
  - platform: bluetooth_tracker

I have also opened up an issue on GitHub:

Hi all, NB this was solved by installing this add-on:
https://home-assistant.io/addons/bluetooth_bcm43xx/

… solved for RPi3 running hass.io with built in bluetooth, anyway

Will this work with a pi2 with USB Bluetooth?

I don’t believe so, not for hass.io anyway, as per note on this page: https://home-assistant.io/components/device_tracker.bluetooth_tracker/
