Hi,
I’m new to Home Assistant Blue and I would like to add bluetooth to it.
Is it just a matter of inserting a suitable dongle (at the end of an extension cable), or is there something more to do? (adding bluez, …)
And how can I see that the dongle was correctly added? (devices, via terminal, …)
All help is welcome.
Did you work it out - trying the same
Sorry for the late reply. No I didn’t succeed. For the moment i’m using some ESP32’s via ESPHome.
In the mean time I ordered a Home assistant yellow and a suitable Raspberry Pi compute module 4.

Home Assistant Yellow does not have integrated Bluetooth or Wi-Fi , but you can easily install a variant of the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 4 that includes both. Note that we do not recommend connecting Home Assistant to your network over Wi-Fi because a reliable Internet connection is important for the backbone of your smart home.
