Hassio list bluetooth le devices?

[RyanRayNeff]

I’ve got mi flora BLE working with hassio using hassos and Raspberry Pi 3B +. What specifically are you looking for as far as BLE support goes?

I’m trying to use the Bluetooth LE device tracker with some ble ibeacons.

I am also trying to use ibeacon as device tracker with owntracks. I get Owntracks working. I see that the device trackers use ble as source type. But I do not get presence recognition in the zone expected.

There is an issue with bluetooth, when option is active:

dtoverlay=pi3-miniuart-bt

Are you sure about this? I have a led ceiling lamp and a mijia BT temp & humidity sensor.
I paired the sensor with my phone, than I switched off the BT on my phone, so the lamp act as BLE gateway for the sensor.
Now I can see the sensor online in Mi Home APP, but not in home assistant.
I think that’s why the lamp act as internet gateway and connect the sensor with xiaomi servers, not with my xiaomi gateway, so home assistant cant connect to the sensor through the lamp.

what did you exactly do to make the connection between flora and hassos ?

If the mi flora is in bluetooth range from your PI just try this

That’s what I do to make my themperature and humidity sensor to work

Vincent, this is what I did to get the connection working. It was about a year ago though, I’m not sure if the config process has changed since then:

Hassio list bluetooth le devices?

@sharukins Thanks for all your hard work! I got this up and running first try, thanks to you. This is the kind of super easy install that makes hass.io a winning proposition. For anyone else that comes across this thread, here’s what needs to be done: Turn on the Bluetooth BCM43xx Plugin through the hass.io gui, it’s found under the “Hass.io” tab. After it’s installed, it will take you to a config screen, you then have to hit “start”. Add an entry for the sensor to your configurations.yaml fi…

I’m pretty sure the BT plug-in went away with either the move to from resinos to hassos or one of the HA releases.

[Hackmett (Fabian Peter)]

Is anyone having or had the problem that his sensor is stuck at software 3.1.8? Mine constantly tries to update to 3.1.9 but after the installation he dricetly wants to update to 3.1.9 again.

i am interested in buying the Mi Flora plant sensor and am running hassio on proxmox. i think the bluetooth radio is up and running on my hassio, but not sure how to test or check if drivers and everything is working before buying the sensors. can i hookup another bluetooth device to hassio or scan for bluetooth devices from hassio front end or back end?

how were you able to run hcitool on the rpi3b+

I keep getting command not found

Assuming you’re using hassio, there are two environments you can be in: the host environment (this is the OS running on the RPi itself, hassos) and the Home Assistant environment (container - this is what runs HA).

You can get to the host by following the instructions on the debugging page, then SSH on port 22222. You can get to the guest/HA environment with the SSH hassio add-on and then SSH on port 22.

I’ve found hcitool runs in the host environment but not the guest.
