Added a Bluetooth stick to my server, and made it reboot “a couple of times”, as per the documentation. It was already being recognised perfectly fine, but I did a few more reboots anyway because the documentation says so. No idea why though, but alas, here we are.
So now, how do I go about adding a BT device?
In any other OS, I need to start a scan for nearby devices. In HA such option isn’t available. But it also doesn’t magically scan by itself, it seems, or it would’ve found something at least - there’s always something nearby, I have neighbours with BT devices, I have a mouse, I have a lamp that I think might possibly have BT, I have a phone, a laptop, and possibly more that I don’t even realise contains BT.
Even if there are no BT devices nearby, the very least I want it to say is “I’ve scanned the area, but didn’t find anything”.
Currently, the BT is just sitting there, seemingly doing bumall.
I don’t think matters which exact BT stick I’m using, since the integration for it is working perfectly and the device’s hardware properties are detected and showing up correctly.
