hi, I use Homeassistat in my mobile home with some bluetooth devices. Whenever I have alot of bluetooth devces around me, I get connection loss or fail. Even If I use two Bluetooth devices and one Bluetooth proxy.
Is there any way to limi the bleutooth functionality to those are used, so I can switch off discovering untill I do not wanna add new devices ? Currently I have over 240 devices in the advertisement list …
Regards Stefan
Unless you did something unwise, the devices you see are not added to your system. It is just a graph of what HA sees. The devices themselves are doing the advertising all on their own, HA can’t sto them from doing that. The only way to stop HA from seeing them is turning off all bluetooth proxies and adapters, or you turning off bluetooth on the 240 devices around you.
The band bluetooth uses is one of the busiest out there, shared with Wifi, Dect, Zigbee, Thread, microwave ovens and a miriad of other technologies. The best way to avoid it is to use Z-wave or other technologies that use other frequencies.
But I can pretty much guarantee you your problems are not caused by other bluetooth devices advertising.
That graph gave me radiation cancer just from looking at it.
yaehh, and it’s just a small camping place where we are 
understand so far and that where my thoughts, but I wonder if I am at home or have just less devices around me I have no issue with a persistent connection to my battery for example. Getting all of those devices I use as z-wave is not possible and anyway I will have a mix of different standards, I thing moving to a much smaller camping place will fix hehehehheeee thank you for your expertise anyway …
This is for me, no problems. As I said: you likely suffer from another source of interference. Advertisements are very short, very little data, and way to far apart in time to be a problem. One headphone will produce thousands of times or more data than what you see in advertisement data. If a bluetooth advertisement is like the sound of a a cricket, then one wifi hotspot is similar to the Artemis II rocket taking off.
Get more bluetooth proxies and place them closer to what you want included if bluetooth is your only option.
