Error with ASUS USB-BT500 bluetooth controller and Home Assistant 2025.9

netdiver · September 5, 2025, 3:40pm

Hello all,
I have an issue with the bluetooth adapter connected to my Home Assistant server since version 2025.9.
My bluetooth adapter (ASUS USB-BT500) gives these messages in home-assistant.log (docker container) over and over.

2025-09-05 17:32:43.635 WARNING (MainThread) [bluetooth_auto_recovery.recover] Could not reset the power state of the Bluetooth adapter hci0 [08:BF:B8:53:92:73] (0) due to timeout after 5 seconds

The adapter is working in the Home Assistant server OS (Debian 12) and in my Windows 10 PC.

I’m sure the adapter worked with 2025.8 version.
Any idea?
Thanks

Enabling debug for bluetooth integration, I can see this in the log:

in the cut out part (the ellipsis) the same rows just repeat again and again.

Is it a bug of the newer version?

Are you using a USB hub on the affected setup compared to the others? it could be the hub in question or the usb port itself that is causing the issue on the affected setup.

Same problem with 2025.9, HA container with archlinux docker host, system is updated to latest. Restarting bluetooth.service and reboot did not work.

Rolled back HA to 2025.8 and no issue.

bluetooth/wifi module is Mediatek RZ616, builtin with minisforum ms-01.

Turned out I was missing two capabilities
NET_ADMIN
NET_RAW

I needed to add the capabilities as for this comment:
