This tracker discovers new devices on boot and tracks bluetooth devices periodically based on interval_seconds value. Devices discovered are stored with 'bt_' as the prefix for device mac in `known_devices.yaml`.
|
|
|
|
<p class='note'>
|
|
Requires PyBluez. If you are on raspbian, make sure you first install `bluetooth` and `libbluetooth-dev` by running `sudo apt install bluetooth libbluetooth-dev`
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
To use the Bluetooth tracker in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
device_tracker:
|
|
platform: bluetooth_tracker
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For additional configuration variables check the [Device tracker page](/components/device_tracker/).
