This tracker discovers new devices on boot and tracks Bluetooth devices periodically based on `interval_seconds` value. It is not required to pair the devices with each other! Devices discovered are stored with 'bt_' as the prefix for device MAC addresses in `known_devices.yaml`.
|
|
|
|
To use the Bluetooth tracker in your installation, add the following to your `configuration.yaml` file:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
# Example configuration.yaml entry
|
|
device_tracker:
|
|
- platform: bluetooth_tracker
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% configuration %}
|
|
request_rssi:
|
|
description: Performs a request for the "Received signal strength indication" (RSSI) of each tracked device
|
|
required: false
|
|
type: boolean
|
|
default: False
|
|
{% endconfiguration %}
|
|
|
|
In some cases it can be that your device is not discovered. In that case let your phone scan for Bluetooth devices while you restart Home Assistant. Just hit `Scan` on your phone all the time until Home Assistant is fully restarted and the device should appear in `known_devices.yaml`.

For additional configuration variables check the [Device tracker page](/components/device_tracker/).
