Configuration

I try to add BT integration and get the following error
Broadcom Corp Broadcom Bluetooth Device (5C:AC:4C:C9:92:0B)
No devices or entities

Failed setup, will retry: hci0 (5C:AC:4C:C9:92:0B): hci0 (5C:AC:4C:C9:92:0B): Failed to start Bluetooth: passive scanning on Linux requires BlueZ >= 5.56 with --experimental enabled and Linux kernel >= 5.10; Try power cycling the Bluetooth hardware.

Thanks for your help!

I have the same problem, unfortunately I use Homematic Assistant OS 14.1 (running as a virtual mache on my Diskstation 723+), so I cannot use some of the hints given. My adapter is a Cambridge Silicon Radio 0001 (00:02:5B:00:91:03).

I used terminal and tried bluetoothctl and then it finds the controller:
CHG Controller 00:… Pairable: yes
and I can use show 00:… and ist gives me all the details of the controller.

So I really have no clue, how to try to solve the problems. I am happy for any advice!

Hi,
I successfully activate experimental feature on BlueZ. But for the error to go away, I also have to enter command : “bluetoothctl scan on” each time home assistant restart or the computer reboot.
I’m using supervised installation on Debian 12.
Any idea anyone ? Did someone fixed that ?
Thanks.
