Remove the bluetooth_tracker: entry in your configuration.yaml

It’s deprecated and no longer works.

3

oh ok does that mean the bluetooth in the raspberry pi is no longer functional and i need a esp32 beside it… or is there a plugin?

4

@Neil_Brownlee where are you getting that the bluetooth_tracker is deprecated? Nothing in the latest release change log or the bluetooth_tracker integration docs mentions it. There are a couple new issues on Home Assistant Core’s Github for the problem after today’s 2023.06.0 release.

5

pybluez doesn’t work with the latest Python version.

6

Fine.
And is there an alternative for the bluetooth tracker, that works???

SOLUTION FOR DOCKER USERS ONLY:

Step 1:
For Docker Compose users:
Add the following to the Home Assistant container section of your docker-compose.yaml file

command: /bin/sh -c "apk add gcc musl-dev bluez-dev ; /init"

For Unraid users:
Edit your Home Assistant container and add the following to “Post Arguments” (switch the view to Advanced to see this field)

/bin/sh -c "apk add gcc musl-dev bluez-dev ; /init"

For Portainer users:
Add the following to the “Command” field in the “Advanced container settings” section of your Home Assistant container

/bin/sh -c "apk add gcc musl-dev bluez-dev ; /init"

Step 2:
Download the bluetooth_tracker integration files from the home-assistant GitHub. You can do this by going to https://download-directory.github.io and entering the following into the box:

https://github.com/home-assistant/core/tree/dev/homeassistant/components/bluetooth_tracker

Step 3:
Unzip the download, change the directory name to “bluetooth_tracker” and open it.

Step 4:
Replace everything in the manifest.json file with this:

{
  "domain": "bluetooth_tracker",
  "name": "Bluetooth Tracker",
  "codeowners": [],
  "documentation": "https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/bluetooth_tracker",
  "iot_class": "local_polling",
  "loggers": ["bluetooth", "bt_proximity"],
  "requirements": ["bt-proximity==0.2.1", "git+https://github.com/pybluez/pybluez.git#pybluez==0.30"],
  "version": "1.0.0"
}

Step 5:
Add the directory to your custom_components directory

Step 6:
Restart Home Assistant and hopefully it works!

EDIT: Removed a step as it’s no longed needed.

EDIT 2: Added Portainer users section to Step 1

I can confirm, this solution works.
Thank You so much

Is this a solution or with the next release of 2023.06.1 you will have to do it again and again?

impossible to make this fix for me :

and in log :

perhaps it could be fix in the next core version ?

You miss the line:
“apk add gcc musl-dev bluez-dev”
inside the container of homeassistant. Follow precisely all commands.
I’ve just followed the instructions and it works.

13

No it’s was okay with this command

 ~ pip install git+https://github.com/pybluez/pybluez.git#egg=pybluez

but i use HASSIO ,…

14

With Hassio I don’t know if it is possible to fix, do you have access at a command like: docker ps
?

15

I think so too

17

Hello,
how to install this solution on a raspberry?
No command pip
Thanks

18

So, with 2023.6.1 i had to do step 1 again (apk add and pip install)
Not nice

19

Maybe you need to enter the homeassistant container :
sudo docker exec -it homeassistant /bin/bash

@acid115 @miky_italy

I’ve worked out a way for the changes to not be undone with HA docker image updates! Please have a look at my original reply again.

NOTE: In addition to the obvious change to step 1, make sure you don’t miss the change made to the manifest.json file of the custom_component, specifically the requirements line.

I get the same error. Are you running HA OS?
