Why is supervisor.hardware.monitor removing and adding USB devices

Hardware
1

It appears that Supervisor suddenly decided to remove my Bluetooth USB device - or did it detect it appeared to have been removed and Supervisor reacted to that?

A quick look through the syslog and it seems this happens fairly regularly! On the last occasion though, it did not add it back in. Looking at the incrementing numbers this seems to be happening a lot.

The final ‘ADD’ is me manually removing and reinserting the dongle.

Before I discovered what was happening, I tried a hciconfig -a but got a bluetooth busy response.

Having removed and reinserted the dongle, hciconfig responds as expected.

I’ve got a similar issue with a USB SSD drive.

Turns out my was an issue with USB mSATA adapter. It was either eating too much power or the driver is buggy. Swapped it for another and it’s all good now, so far.

Happened to me again.

Is there any way to force Supervisor to scan for hardware? A services call?

Just happened to me, too (Conbee II, USB SSD). It started to happen after a restart of HA and it stopped after a second restart.
