Trying to get Bluetooth to work on HassIO

Hi all,

I’ve been trying to get BT tracker to work on my NUC running Proxmox and within that a VM with HassIO.
Every other USB device I’ve got using passthrough is working, but the BT Dongle is generating errors within Hass.
It’s a Broadcom Chip: bcm20702a0 that is wildly supported, so I think something else is amiss…

The USB dongle is being passed to HassOS: Imgur: The magic of the Internet

But when I change the configuration and restart Homeassistant I get the error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File “/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/device_tracker/setup.py”, line 77, in async_setup_legacy discovery_info, File “/usr/local/lib/python3.7/concurrent/futures/thread.py”, line 57, in run result = self.fn(*self.args, **self.kwargs) File “/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/bluetooth_tracker/device_tracker.py”, line 97, in setup_scanner for dev in discover_devices(): File “/usr/src/homeassistant/homeassistant/components/bluetooth_tracker/device_tracker.py”, line 72, in discover_devices device_id=device_id, File “/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/bluetooth/bluez.py”, line 26, in discover_devices device_id = _bt.hci_get_route() OSError: [Errno 97] Address family not supported by protocol

Does this mean that it can’t load a driver? Or could there be something else wrong?

TIA!

^Bump^

Nobody??

Really?? No One?

I had the same issue with Proxmox. I don’t think it is possible to use Bluetooth with this configuration as I don’t think it can be passed through from Proxmox (there is a more technical explanation but that is how I understand it).

I ended up going for Ubuntu/Docker/Hassio because Bluetooth is by fare the most responsive for presence detection when arriving home.

Did anyone ever figure this out? I’m struggling with the same problem about 3 years later.
