No Bluetooth on Beelink S12 mini PC

Configuration
1

Hello
I have just realized that Bluetooth is not working. In the integration I have the message « The Bluetooth module is not available, please check that it is enabled ».
I looked at messages related

I don’t know if you’ll find a solution.
I found this :

Bluetooth problem on Beelink Mini S12 on Linux

It seems that you are experiencing difficulties with Bluetooth on your Beelink Mini S12 on Linux. Here are some ways to troubleshoot this issue:

  • Driver check : Make sure the Bluetooth module is correctly recognized by your system. You can use the command lsusb to check if the Bluetooth device (Intel AX201) appears in the list.
  • Bluetooth service status : Check whether the Bluetooth service is active. Use the following command to start it : bash sudo systemctl start bluetooth You can also check its status with : bash sudo systemctl status bluetooth
  • Bluetooth configuration : If Bluetooth is disabled in the system settings, try re-enabling it via the command line : bash sudo rfkill unblock bluetooth
  • Kernel update : Sometimes compatibility issues can be resolved by updating the Linux kernel. Make sure you’re using a recent version that may include improvements for hardware support.
  • Dependencies and packages : Ensure that all necessary packages for Bluetooth are installed. You can install bluez and blueman if they aren’t already installed : bash sudo apt install bluez blueman
  • System logs : Check the logs for any Bluetooth-related errors. You can do this with : bash journalctl -xe | grep bluetooth

If after following these steps the problem persists, it might be useful to consult forums specific to your Linux distribution or to Home Assistant, as other users may have encountered similar problems.

Actually, I have the same problem.
The service is indeed enabled in Gladys, though.

sudo systemctl status bluetooth

I get the impression we’re not the only ones:

Thank you Gaëtan for your help. I learned a bit more about the Linux commands (which I had forgotten) and about Docker. I tried Pierre-Gilles’s test commands without success.

I add that in the logs bluetooth starts:
gladys systemd[1]: Reached target bluetooth.target - Bluetooth Support.
Subject: The unit (unit) bluetooth.target has finished starting
The unit (unit) bluetooth.target has finished starting, with the result done.
But immediately the following error message begins the shutdown phase
gladys bluetoothd[769]: src/plugin.c:plugin_init() System does not support csip plugin
…
then
gladys sudo[2988]: francis : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/home/francis ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/systemctl stop bluetooth

Hi @Francis66,

I’ll run some tests tomorrow during my Gladys day :slight_smile:

I’ll keep you posted here

Thank you, Pierre-Gilles, for your research and your response on this subject. Indeed, I was thinking of using Bluetooth for presence detection. Your opinion is interesting regarding this feature.
