Bluetooth on Windows not working?

Hi,

I successfully installed HomeAssistant on my ageing Windows Home Server (WHS 2011 which is basically a WIndows Server 2008 R2 x64). Most things went quite smooth, but I am running into issues when trying to use the bluetooth tracker. This is the error that is being thrown when starting up HA:

Can anyone spot the error or point me in the right direction?

I don’t think BT or BLE work in windows (at least I’ve never got them working, along with Zwave, Xiaomi and Broadlink), so I have a separate rpi to get that data.

Well, Bluetooth (and LE) surely work in Windows itself. but it looks like there is no BT support in Python for Windows?! It can’t be that hard to port something to Windows, wish someone would do it…

But from the error above I don’t even understand in which component the error occurs, or I would try taking a look at the source or contacting the maintainer…
