This tracker discovers new devices on boot and tracks bluetooth devices periodically based on interval_seconds value. Devices discovered are stored with 'bt_' as the prefix for device mac in `known_devices.yaml`.
Requires PyBluez

This platform allows you to integrate EQ3 Bluetooth Smart Thermostats.
The only functionality is to set the temperature, there doesn't seem to be any way to query the temperature sensor or battery level ([read more](https://forum.fhem.de/index.php/topic,39308.15.html)).
Setup is a bit more cumbersome than for most other thermostats. It has to be paired first:
```bash
bluetoothctl
scan on
<Wait for the thermostat to be found, which looks like this: [NEW] Device 00:11:22:33:44:55 CC-RT-BLE>
scan off
<Set the thermostat to pairing mode.>
pair <MAC>
trust <MAC>
disconnect <MAC>
exit
```
Then check with gatttool if the connection works as expected:
```bash
gatttool -b 00:11:22:33:44:55 -I
[00:11:22:33:44:55][LE]> connect
Attempting to connect to 00:11:22:33:44:55
Connection successful
[00:11:22:33:44:55][LE]> char-write-req 0x0411 03
Characteristic value was written successfully
Notification handle = 0x0421 value: 02 01 09 14 04 2d
[00:11:22:33:44:55][LE]> disconnect
[00:11:22:33:44:55][LE]> exit
```
Important: For gatttool or homeassistant to work, the thermostat needs to be disconnected from bluetoothd, so I found it best to modify the hass-daemon startscript by adding:
```bash
/usr/bin/bt-device -d CC-RT-BLE
```
to the start function of /etc/init.d/hass-daemon.
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
thermostat:
platform: eq3btsmart
devices:
room1:
mac: '00:11:22:33:44:55'
```

It's time for 0.18. This release cycle is 2 days shorter than usual as I'll be travelling to Europe. This also means that it can take some more time before you get feedback on PRs.
Since the last release we have moved all Home Assistant source code etc into it's own [organisation on GitHub](https://github.com/home-assistant). We're growing up! This sadly did cause us to have to move all Docker images. Check the breaking changes section for more info.

### Breaking changes
- We have migrated our datetime format to be iso8601. This will only impact you if you are consuming the date times from the API directly. You can ignore this if you are just using Home Assistant via configuration and the frontend.
- The location of the Docker image has changed. There was no possibility for us to keep maintaining the old image (as it was bound to the GitHub repo under my name) or to make a redirect. So if you are using the Home Assistant Docker image, change it to run `homeassistant/home-assistant:latest` for the latest release and `homeassistant/home-assistant:dev` for the latest dev version.
- MySensors received two big changes that will cause you to update your configs. See [component page][mysensors] for new example config.
1. All MySensors entity IDs are different! There was an error in the naming that caused MySensors to append node ID and child ID instead of separating them with an underscore. This has been fixed but will cause all your MySensors entity IDs to change. This is a one time breaking change.
2. The second change is that we now support the TCP ethernet gateway. This is causing a slight change to the config format: you have to change `port:` under `gateways` to `device:`.
