Are you running that command as homeassistant after activating the virtual environment?

The process is the same as when upgrading, except instead of running the upgrade of HA, you install the package.

I added

device_tracker:

  • platform: bluetooth_tracker

To my config file and restarted HA was this wrong.

That should be fine, I wasn’t sure if you’d tried adding the dependency manually.

It’s worth trying to manually install it.
