Hi experts,
I used to run my hassio on an Rasp Pi B model, as a test I installed Hassio on Hyper V using the base image from
https://github.com/home-assistant/hassos/releases/download/3.8/hassos_ova-3.8.vhdx.gz
got everything setup and definately everything is running much faster the the PI, but I got a few Xiaomi Temp Sensor which requires Bluetooth connection.
I am just wondering if it is currently possible to use a Bluetooth dongle on my Windows host machine, connect that to the Hassio Hyper-V image? will hassio automaitcally pick it up?
thanks,
Wilson

I know this is a very old post, but i’ll answer it so others may get a solution. ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](https://community.home-assistant.io/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=9)
You can flash a ESP8266 device (like a sonoff switch, or preferably a NodeMcu), with tasmota software, and then connect at HM-10 BLE device to it, this seems to support many Xiaomi BLE devices, this way you can send the details from your BLE devices to Home Assistant using MQTT…
I have not tried the solution my self, as i have no supported BLE devices, but i have tried lots of other similar solutions with sensors directly attached to an ERP8266 device and also with the Sonoff RF Bridge i have some 433MHz sensors connected…
This is just a suggestion, it is not meant as a final solution, nor an explicit answer to the OP’s question… ![:slight_smile: :slight_smile:](https://community.home-assistant.io/images/emoji/twitter/slight_smile.png?v=9)
