Configuring Bluetooth with HA running in Docker on rPi3

Configuration
1

Hi

I have an rPi3 running HA in a docker. I’d like to configure Bluetooth/BLE so I can talk with this smart radiator valve: https://www.eq-3.com/products/eqiva/bluetooth-smart-radiator-thermostat.html

Does anyone know what cmd line args I would need to add to the docker as well as how to configure Bluetooth?

Does anyone have experience with this TRV and HA? The range is not much of an issue, the radiator is literally 3 meters from where the pi sits.

I have several of these radiator valves.

I didn’t need to do anything to enable bluetooth but I am running the Hassos build for the RPi.

The only problem I found was that it couldn’t handle tracking bluetooth devices and the radiator valves (manz failed connection attempts). So I now use a seperate (better placed) RPi zero W running Hassos that connects to the radiators then my main HA connects to this.

And sorry meant to say there’s a built in component for the thermostats:
