I think it would be better to embed the hcidump call in the addon. Let's figure out how to do this the most convenient way. I had no experience using this utility. Perhaps you suggest some convenient option. As I see it, we will create a separate field in the preferences where you will need to somehow specify the devices, and after the addon is started, their addresses can be viewed in the logs. |
The bluez package seems to have some issues. Looking around I saw this:
https://github.com/MS3FGX/Bluelog
If you want to integrate it into the monitor addon that might be a better
option.

I was able to build bluelog on my linux box:
jay@jay-desktop:~/Bluelog/Bluelog-master$ ./bluelog -v
Bluelog (v1.1.3-dev) by MS3FGX
---------------------------
Autodetecting device...OK
Opening output file: bluelog-2020-02-05-1233.log...OK
Writing PID file: /tmp/bluelog.pid...OK
Scan started at [02/05/20 12:33:43] on 5C:F3:70:98:41:68
Hit Ctrl+C to end scan.
[02/05/20 12:34:10] 10:17:13:1B:1E:11,IGNORED,0x5a020c
I copied the mac address to the config file. It appears to be working.
The log from your add on:

Request:
Add "How to get a list of bluetooth mac addresses when configuring this add on"
So far I've found:
I can't install the hcidump utility on hass.io because the raspberry pi install uses docker. That precludes using a package manager to install anything.
Bluetooth mac address finders in the android app store always show a dummy address for the phone they're running on as a 'security measure'. They give a list of addresses of devices nearby but you have to run around turning off devices and guessing what address belongs to what by elimination.
bluez is mentioned as a requirement but I have no idea if that applies to the hass.io install on the pi.
Thanks for any help. I really like the concept
