All the systems are setup for passive scanning in both integrations.

As a test on one of my test systems I disabled the HACS BLE integration and restarted HA and there was no extra devices detected.

Next I disabled the on-board bluetooth adapter and added one of the recommended USB ones. I deleted the 2 detected BT Home devices and waited a bit and only the same 2 devices were detected.

All the devices were detected with Passive BLE Monitor when I re-configured it to use the new adapter.

So I have no idea where to go next.

Hmmm, that is very strange indeed. One thing you could check is enabling debug logging for the Bluetooth integration and check if you see MAC address of your sensor in the logs. It should report all incoming BLE messages that are received in the Bluetooth integration, after which the are forwarded to BTHome integration. note that BLE monitor is not using the Bluetooth integration, it has its own mechanism

OK, here a section of the debug logs, still using the USB BT dongle. The log shows that it is seeing all 4 devices but on the install I am only seeing Garage and Spare.

There is an occasional error about “localName” and “tagName” but not sure if that is BLE related.

Hi Ernst, I’m experiencing the same problem ever since I use my only BT device ( a Shelly Blue Motion sensor). Is there something I could do to prevent this warning? Is the equipment faulty or something I should change in the configuration? What would you recommend? Thank you!

What error do you get?
