This tracker discovers new devices on boot and tracks bluetooth devices periodically based on interval_seconds value. It is not required to pair the devices with each other!
Devices discovered are stored with 'bt_' as the prefix for device mac addresses in `known_devices.yaml`.
This tracker discovers new devices on boot and tracks bluetooth devices periodically based on interval_seconds value. It is not required to pair the devices with each other! Devices discovered are stored with 'bt_' as the prefix for device mac addresses in `known_devices.yaml`.
To use the Bluetooth tracker in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
device_tracker:
platform: bluetooth_tracker
- platform: bluetooth_tracker
```
In some cases it can be that your device is not discovered. In that case let your phone scan for BT devices while you restart HA. Just hit Scan on your phone all the time until HA is fully restarted and the device should appear in `known_devices.yaml`.
In some cases it can be that your device is not discovered. In that case let your phone scan for BT devices while you restart Home Assistant. Just hit `Scan` on your phone all the time until Home Assisstant is fully restarted and the device should appear in `known_devices.yaml`.
