HA entity is not created...complete silence over mqtt

Describe the bug Room-assistant is not sending out mqtt updates. Apparently, it does register my iBeacon but it then doesn’t create an entity and never updates status over mqtt 😦 What am I doing wrong? To reproduce Steps required to reproduce the issue.

Relevant configuration Paste the relevant parts of your configuration below.

  instanceName: the-office
  integrations:
    - bluetoothLowEnergy
    - homeAssistant

homeAssistant:
  mqttUrl: mqtt://192.168.1.195:1883
  mqttOptions:
    username: xxxxxxx
    password: xxxxxxx

bluetoothLowEnergy:
  whitelist:
    - a50693a4e24fb1afcfc6eb07647825-5-6
    - 5548a6779994
    - e2c56db5dffb48d2b060d0f5a71096e0-0-0
  channel: 'room_presence'
  onlyIBeacon: true

Expected behavior expected to update entity.

Environment

• room-assistant version: 2.0.0
• installation type: [e.g. NodeJS, Docker, Hass.io]
• hardware: Raspberry Pi Zero W
• OS: [e.g. Linux, Windows, macOS]

@dedepene From the logs I can’t see any of the devices you have in your whitelist being discovered by room-assistant. Are the IDs correct as noted in the config? Does executing “sudo hcitool lescan” (while room-assistant is not running) list your iBeacons?

@Gio76 I think your bug is unrelated, as it it’s about Bluetooth Classic and not BLE. Did you try rebooting your host machine? Could anything else be using the Bluetooth adapter? What do the logs say?

The above logs have always been the same…both when the entities worked and didn’t work.
