Hello friends! Please help, I want to add Sven speakers to Home Assistant, they work via Bluetooth, I connected the Bluetooth adapter to my mini PC, but it does not find this device, how can I make them work in Home Assistant?
Home Assistant doesn’t pair with Bluetooth devices like a mobile phone does.
First of all, not all Bluetooth adapters work - there is a list of the ones that do on the Bluetooth page in the docs.
You then have to install the Bluetooth integration, which acts as a sort of driver for the adapter. Then, if you’re doing more than tracking, you have to install an integration specific to the device you want to connect to.
As far as I know, there are no integrations for Bluetooth speakers. Most installations use Bluetooth and BLE to track devices or to communicate with sensors, and for each application you need an integration.
