Performance is primarily determined by a combination of the chip and the Linux drivers for the adapter. High-performance determination methodology These adapters are connected via the UART bus which may limit their performance. Most of these adapters can hold seven (7) connections at the same time.

There is currently no supported method to install these patch files when using Home Assistant Operating System. These adapters may require additional patch files available at for stable operation. These adapters generally offer the fastest connect times and do not require additional drivers or patch files. Most of these adapters can hold five (5) connections at the same time. Known working high-performance adapters Cambridge Silicon Radio (CSR) Based adapters If you experience an unreliable Bluetooth connection, installing a short USB extension cable between your Bluetooth adapter and your Home Assistant server may improve reliability. Installing an adapter for the first time may require multiple restarts for the device to be fully recognized. Some systems may not come with Bluetooth and require a USB adapter. On Debian based host systems, the sudo apt-get -y install bluez command will install BlueZ. Home Assistant Core: The system must run BlueZ, and the D-Bus socket must be accessible to Home Assistant.Īdditional details for Container, Core, and Supervised installs.Home Assistant Supervised: The host system must run BlueZ, and the D-Bus socket must be accessible to Home Assistant inside the container.Home Assistant Container: The host system must run BlueZ, and the D-Bus socket must be accessible to Home Assistant inside the container.Home Assistant Operating System: Upgrade to Home Assistant OS version 9.0 or later.The host system should be running Linux kernel 5.15.62 or later.Īdditional requirements by install method.The D-Bus implementation should be dbus-broker.It is highly recommended to use BlueZ >= 5.63 as older versions have been reported to be unreliable. The Bluetooth adapter must be accessible to D-Bus and running BlueZ >= 5.43.The D-Bus socket must be accessible to Home Assistant.# Example configuration.yaml entry bluetooth : Requirements for Linux systemsįor Bluetooth to function on Linux systems:
