Helmonder Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) I am running Home Assistant in a VM. Works great but for one issue. My bluetooth dongle is not recognised by Home Assistant, it seems to be recognised yet does not work. There is scattered info in the forum on this issue or with other usb sticks but I have not been able to find a real solution. I am using this USB stick, which is recognised by Home Assistant: https://www.amazon.nl/dp/B0BXF13GB7 I installed Bluez (which I guess is not needed since I am using a VM), and I am passing thru the usb stick via the standard option in the VM's settings.. Is there any chance I can get this working or do I need to work around it ? On the Home Assistant VM I get the following error message: "Intel version event size mismatch" ADDED: Seems like this is more of a Home Assistant bug... I will pursue a different route..

Doublemyst Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Hi, as far as I've read (just digging in now in this topic, as I need a BLE dongle for myself), this dongle isn't supported by HomeAssistant / Linux, as there are no drives. Here is a list of supported dongles: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/bluetooth/ The CM656 from this Ugreen 5.3 isn't listed. Or am I wrong and you did manage somehow to get it working? Cheers Quote Link to comment
bmartino1 Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 in the vm lsusb to see if it is int eh list. I also recomend installing the plugin and using the usb menu to mount and maintain the dongle in the VM Please verify that the dongle is "zigbee" compatiable https://www.home-assistant.io/docs/z-wave/controllers/ Quote Link to comment
