I need to add BTHome into HA because I need to use my own sensors via Bluetooth so I tried to do these:
Select “Settings” > “Devices & Services”
In the bottom right corner, select the “Add Integration” button.
Select “BTHome” from the list
Press the link to start configure
In the last step I immediately got an error: “No devices found on the network”. After that only one option is enabled: to close dialog. What does it mean? I checked bluetooth state on my board and everything look correct.
My board is: Orange Pi Zero 2W, armbian Home Assistan image (https://dl.armbian.com/orangepizero2w/Bookworm_current_minimal-homeassistant)
I can’t check it precisely because if I couldn’t communicate with my device I won’t be sure if it’s HA issue or the device issue. What about configuration manual (Manual configuration steps) which BTHome provides? (BTHome configuration manual)
When I made a topic it was not added, but now it is. But the situation still the same - I’ve got an error message when I try to add “BTHome” integration. Also I made the device which broadcasts test message in the advertising channel (I copied a payload from BTHome example) and I can see packets in “Bluetooth advertising monitor” section. So my goal is to appear appropriate sensors in HA to show measurement results.
I realized that my device appears automatically on the integration dashboard so I don’t need to configure it manually. The manual which Home Assistant is provided for adding Bluetooth Bluetooth configuration steps is wrong.
