But the tracker identifies other Bluetooth devices, and as I understand, there should only be one bluetooth_tracker platform?, so it seems to functioning properly?
Ok so you have it working correctly. I find that my iPhone BT works fine but I cannot pick up my wife’s iPhone so maybe there some phones it just cannot see.
Are you using the HA app on the iPhone that it can pick up?
The most annoying part is that the only device needed to see is my iPhone. I’ve tried the “ping” approach for presence detection, but the iPhone deactivates wifi when not in use, so I’m “away” often when I’m home… Funny thing is that the wifi on my wife’s Android seems to be active constantly.
As such, it seems that my best option was to use bluetooth (I do not have external access, so GPS isn’t possible).
Yes HA is on my iPhone but not on my wife’s. That should not be a reason why I cannot pick her phone up, my known_devices.yaml is full of my neighbours iPhones and they definitely don’t have HA on their phones
Decided to just try and see what happened if I deleted my iphone as a device in HA… And it worked. My phone was immediately picked up via bluetooth. It does however seem to have created some (so far) non-essential errors in the app.
Now the next step is to see if I can add the phone via the app again without loosing bluetooth…
