Hello,
i´m trying to get the Mi Flora Sensors working at my Homeassistant instance. Home Assistant is running in a VM on my Synology 220+ with the latest DSM (not in Docker). I added a Bluethooth Dongle ( TP-Link UB500 Nano ) to connect those sensors. The Dongle is also assigned to the VM via the Synology VM Machine Manager.
In Homeassistant i can also activate the “bluetoothctl”, where the Dongle shows up with its own (correct) MAC Adress. But the Dongle cant find any Bluetooth Devices ( bluetoothctl - scan on). There are enoug devices which i can discover with my phone around, but nothing is on the list.
The MI Floras are already in the Config with their IP and they are working with the phone app. I also disconnected one in the phone app, to check if this is blocking them.
I have same hardware setup, only difference is older Synology DSM, but no success… Don’t know if it is problem with TP-Link UB500 or with WM. I think I try different USB Bluetooth dongle.
DSM 7, but I have also conbee II stick and that’s works. Someone has written that TP-Link UB400 works in Synology VM. Now I am waiting for delivery of new BT dongle.
Good evening. I´ve got an old BT Dongle listed as “cambridge silicon radio ltd bluetooth dongle” which now works out of the box. (Assigned to VM in DSM 7 and startet sensing over bluetoothctl with scan of it shows my devices) Didn´t pair those flower care now, but they are at least showing up.
Anyone get the issue solved with the UB500 dongle from TP-Link?
My setup is a HP T620 Thin Client with Home Assistant OS.
I have exactly the same problem that “In Homeassistant i can also activate the “bluetoothctl”, where the Dongle shows up with its own (correct) MAC Adress. But the Dongle cant find any Bluetooth Devices ( bluetoothctl - scan on).”
