BT Smarthub

Configuration
1

I’m new to home assistant and I’m struggling to work out why person tracking with a BT Smarthub isn’t working.

I’ve installed Hass.io on a Raspberrypi 4 and most things seem to be working. To enable device tracking I installed the Configurator add on and used it to edit configuration.yaml to add the following lines

device_tracker:
  - platform: bt_smarthub

Devices now appear in my overview page as away, but none of them ever appear as here/home/whatever the opposite of away is. I see the mac address of my mobile phone in the routers device list but home-assistant doesn’t think it’s ever here.

Have I missed something obvious ?

This worked for me after I also added the
host:
interval_seconds:
consider_away:
flags.

I’m struggling with this, dispaite reading various posts and trying various config.

My log is:

Also I not in the Hub XML file it is reporting IP6 devices, I was wondering this what is upsetting the script? Hence the JSON invalid control character error?
