This tracker discovers new devices on boot and in regular intervals and tracks bluetooth low-energy devices periodically based on interval_seconds value. It is not required to pair the devices with each other!
Devices discovered are stored with 'BLE_' as the prefix for device mac addresses 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_le_tracker
```
As some BT LE devices change their MAC address regularly, a new device is only discovered when it has been seen 5 times.
Some BTLE devices (e.g. fitness trackers) are only visible to the devices that they are paired with. In this case, the BTLE tracker won't see this device.
BTLE tracking requires root privileges.
For additional configuration variables check the [Device tracker page](/components/device_tracker/).

The MH-Z19 is a small nondispersive infrared sensor that can measure CO2 sensors. High CO2 levels can lead to drowsiness, poor concentration, loss of attention or increased heart rate. Outside CO2 levels are usually between 250 and 350ppm, but inside levels can reach between 1000 and 5000 ppm. High CO2 levels indicate that you should increase ventilation.
Check out the [Open Home Automation web site](https://www.open-homeautomation.com/2016/08/24/monitor-co2-levels-in-your-house/) for a quick guide how to connect the sensor to your PC or Raspberry Pi.
To use this sensor in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
```yaml
sensor:
- platform: mhz19
serial_device: /dev/tty.SLAB_USBtoUART
name: CO2
```
- **serial_device** (*Required*): The serial port to use. On *nix systems, it can often be identified by `$ ls /dev/tty*`
- **name** (*Optional*): The name displayed in the frontend.
