Hi all, i set up the bluetooth device tracker in my configuration.yaml and I find several devices, including my bluetooth speaker (entity: device_tracker.bluetooth-speaker). How can I use this speaker now? E.g. send music or TTS over it? known_devices.yaml bluetooth-speaker: icon: mac: BT_BC:…

You can’t :wink: The device_tracker integration is just for tracking devices - telling if they’re on/nearby or not.

Is there other way to use bluetooth component ? i would like to use bluetooth speaker for each sound of HA like music, TTS, alarm siren and so on.

Sure, create a custom component that handles that.

any clue how to do that ? :grin: i’m relatively new on HA and with HassOS installation we are rather limited on system actions/commands.

not very simple…especially that the raspberry pi have already the Bluetooth but it’s seem impossible to exploit that…

Use Bluetooth devices with the Bluetooth device tracker

If you know how to solder then you can use the DFplayer mp3 player with an ESP chip.
Have the output from the DFplayer go to a Bluetooth transmitter.

That should in theory work.
