I too have the same problem with the built in Bluetooth adapter on my Intel NUC (Beelink Mini PC). I am currently using only the „passive scanning“ option of the hci0 adapter integration.
From time to time I get the error message that it cannot reset the hci0 adapter but the adapter is still up in the device display.
So my question is why it tries to reset the adapter and why it does not detect that it is still up and running.
Here‘s the error message in the core log:

Logger: bluetooth_auto_recovery.recover

I too have issues with the Bluetooth since a month or so. I am running HA docker. I used to use version 2022.11, now recently upgraded to 2023.5 to try to fix the issues, but alas.

The issue, as far as I can see, is that HomeAssistant is constantly scanning for new devices, and overloading the BT dongle.

I tested outside of the docker, if I pause the docker, then run bluetoothctl power off; bluetoothctl power on, then a script external to the docker can read the metrics from my Airthings wave BLE device. However, as soon as I unpause the docker, I start getting a LOT of [CHG] actions in the output of bluetoothctl, such as

[CHG] Device 41:6F:1B:32:00:55 RSSI: -70
[CHG] Device 14:4D:42:D9:6D:D9 RSSI: -63
[CHG] Device 69:E4:80:93:A9:58 RSSI: -67
[CHG] Device 04:69:F8:93:0E:BF RSSI: -71
[CHG] Device 57:41:2A:C1:0B:0E RSSI: -68

and it goes on and on and on. And from the start I start seeing this scan, then the external script that reads the Airthings Wave BLE device stops being able to read the metrics.

In the HA logs, I found only this:

but it seems clear to me that something is wrong with the Bluetooth addon. We need to be able to stop it from scanning for devices and only scan manually. I tried disabling

Enable newly added entities.

If newly discovered devices for Bluetooth should be automatically added.

in the system options, but that does not stop the scanning.

Is there an progress regarding this issue? It seems there are no updates to get the bluetooth errors fixed. At the end on my side it influence all Bluetooth devices. Especially the Bluetooth Proxies are no longer reliable since weeks.

I am also still have the Bluetooth Problem (Just scanning activated, nothing else)

bdraco · 2023-06-10T12:05:49Z

Please follow the issue in the operating system repo

enkama · 2023-06-10T15:27:06Z

Well thats happening with ubuntu with docker with ha-container. Not with HAOS in this case. So doing something like rolling back to HAOS 9.5 doesnt work for this. For reference for the others since it wasnt linked. home-assistant/operating-system#2535

bdraco · 2023-06-10T15:33:51Z

The problem is with bluez and/or the linux kernel so its not something can be solved in core (which is why we are still waiting for a solution).

enkama · 2023-06-10T19:04:24Z

So for the time being for anyone else in here this is what I have done to fix it for the time being. Works fine for me. You can find your entry id in /.storage/core.config_entries

alias: Bluetooth Debug

This fix did not fix my issue. I still have to unplug and reconnect USB Bluetooth dongle physically every couple of days.

Is there a way to power cycle the USB port from Home Assistant?

Yeea I am getting this now:

bdraco · 2023-07-25T14:51:07Z

I opened a PR to handle the case where the device is removed from the bus while we are waiting for a change hbldh/bleak#1329

fixes #93036 (comment) fixes #93222 (comment) fixes #93171 changelog: hbldh/bleak@v0.20.2...v0.21.0

bdraco · 2023-09-03T13:38:07Z

#99520 will fix the case where the device is removed from the bus while connecting. If the adapter itself it unstable, there isn't anything we can do about that though.

If you have an unstable adapter problem, please continue in #92379
