Hi everyone,
COuld someone please help me with this ?
I installed Hassio, the whole 9 yards and all … BUT I have no idea what to do to hook up my Raspberry Pi 3 to my bluetooth speaker. I have installed BCM43XX but I don’t know what to put in the Options nor how to find the MAC adress (as I beleive it will be used later)
Thank you in advance !
Same here, since hassio doesn’t support installing bluez etc I installed the BCM43XX addon but also have no clue how to connect with a speaker or what to pass in to the options.
Hi, you must put this in the configuration.yaml
device_tracker:
platform: bluetooth_tracker
Turn on in discovery mode the bluetooth speaker and then restart Raspberry Pi 3.
Then in known_devices.yaml should appear a new device called bt_xxxxxx.
After thisi dont know what else you can do with the bluetooth speaker. I would like to use it as google home device but i dont know how to do it.
Did you see this?
This only enables hassio to track BT devices nearby. This does not allow to connect and USE the speaker as an audio output.
Yes I have, and since I am using hassio, I am unable to sudo anything.
Yes, and in the known_devices.yaml you can find the MAC address of the bluetooth device.
Yes exactly. Now all I need is how to connect to it and use it as a remote speaker.
Hello @hevolution
Do you resolve it ? I’m interrested in buying some bluetooth speakerphone to add a mic and a speaker in the same time to my hassio Pi3, but I’m not sure that will works…
Nope. Still waiting for the update with BT controls. Adding a mic is easy if USB. Thar is my actual setup for emulating Google assistant.
Well, I’m also very curious about how to pair with a Bluetooth speaker to work with Google Assistant.
The documentation is very brief: https://home-assistant.io/addons/bluetooth_bcm43xx/
I am currently trying to achieve the same, connect rpi3 with JBL charge 3 speaker to use with Google Assistant.
I have enabled the Bluetooth device_tracker component and captured the Mac address.
This part looks promising except for the sudo part.
I will take a look into creating it into an addon (or fork the current Bluetooth addon).
Just leaving this as a possibly usefull resource
Any update on that?
i’m interested too, also in connecting multple bt speakers with Hass.io or using a Bluetooth Hands-free Speakerphone…
nope … still looking …
Im interested in this too! Since i’m using Hassio there is no way to sudo install pulseaudio like the other post said
I’m also interested in this. I too have Hassio.
I am also waiting a solution for this
This would be really useful. Have the bluetooth set up and discovery as well but it only lists the bluetooth speaker as a gps and there’s no way to control it.
Maybe someone would be able to submit a feature request for hass.io, for Bluetooth audio. I would surely love to have this feature as well
