I’m trying to get bluetooth working on my HA setup which is running on VirtualBox on a macOS host machine but I can’t seem to get the integration to work with the dongle and have tried various troubleshooting steps before posting. According to VirtualBox it shows that the usb dongle has been “captured” (screenshot included below) and the error I see within HA is…

This is my setup specs just in case it’s needed…
macOS Monterey Version 12.2.1
Virtualbox Version 6.1.32 r 149290
Operating System: Home Assistant OS 7.4
Supervisor Version: supervisor-2022.03.4
Core Version: core-2022.3.5
Bluetooth Adapter: TP-Link USB UB400 4.0 Bluetooth Dongle Receiver
Here is what I added to Configuration.yaml…
device_tracker:
- platform: bluetooth_tracker
new_device_defaults:
track_new_devices: true
In terminal when I run “bluetoothctl” it says agent registered then “scan on” it says no default controller available
At this point I get stuck as it appears the bluetooth dongle is attached and being captured but Home Assistant OS still can not see it for some reason.
