Bluetooth Tracker

This tracker discovers new devices on boot and tracks bluetooth devices periodically based on interval_seconds value. It is not requiered to pair the devices with eachother!
Devices discovered are stored with ‘bt_’ as the prefix for device mac address in known_devices.yaml.

Requires PyBluez. If you are on raspbian, make sure you first install bluetooth and libbluetooth-dev by running sudo apt install bluetooth libbluetooth-dev

To use the Bluetooth tracker in your installation, add the following to your configuration.yaml file:

device_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.

For additional configuration variables check the Device tracker page.
