Bluetooth under Hass os

Installation Home Assistant OS
1

I’m trying to add the miflora component to home assistant. I’m running hassos/hassio on a raspberry pi 3 B+. Bluetooth should be in the os in Hassos and therefore the Bluetooth add-on is not needed anymore.

Unfortunately adding the miflora component doesn’t work out of the box. I’ve added three devices that all work fine with my phone. None of them give values in HA.

I’m trying to debug this but it is proving to be difficult. I have the ssh addon installed. With this I can ssh to my hassio Docker. According to this github issue (https://github.com/home-assistant/hassos/issues/135), I should be able to run Bluetoothctl. This is not working as a command in my ssh session (not recognised).

When I type login as described, I don’t know which login and pw to use. HA doesn’t have a login (only api pw). Ssh is with keys so no pw.

How could I debug my Bluetooth issue?

It really depends on which port you connect. Port 22 (or default ssh) is the docker container and i dont think that supports the bluetoothctl command. Port 22222 is the host and that’s where it’s at.

Alternatively, you could try this if you run Windows:

For me, the ssh into the host has been too much pain thus far, so i got a Windows laptop involved to check this out with that tool.
