Using Home Assistant Container on a Debian VM under Proxmox on an Intel NUC.
I’m having issues getting my Bluetooth (mainly Switchbot) devices discovered on Bluetooth on my install. I have one Switchboth Switch and one Switchbot hydrogometer. I have tried both the internal NUC bluetooth and a seperate EDUP Bluetooth stick on the supported device list. I only enable one Bluetooth device at a time as well. Devices are passed through to Debian, Docker setup as Host networking, I’ve made the DBUS socket available, and I’ve installed Bluez on the Debain VM. I can see the adapters OK and Home Assistant finds them and installs a Bluetooth integration. I have done everything listed HERE. As a check, if I SSH into the Debian VM, run “docker exec -it homeassistant /bin/bash”, and then “bluetoothctl list”, I see my Bluetooth device and the correct mac address. It appears everything is working OK and was installed OK. But, when I try to setup the Switchbot integration or use any other Bluetooth device, nothing is discovered.
On the other hand, if I setup a Bluetooth proxy on ESPHome, these devices are picked up right away and controllable.
Are there any other steps aside from whats on the Bluetooth instructions page linked above to get Bluetooth working?
Also, I did verify that I dont have “bluetooth:” in my configuration.yaml and that no other integration is using Bluetooth.
