Is a BLE plug-in or other Bluetooth solution available for the HomeTroller Z2 ?

[ECS]

From May 2016 the Raspberry Pi 3 Model B went on sale with both built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.1 - however HomeSeer technologies confirm that, to date, they have not developed a BLE plug-in.

Several 3rd party plug-in guys have, at intervals, have made passing reference to the development of a solution during various conversations on this HomeSeer Message Board.

Is a BLE plug-in or other HomeSeer Bluetooth solution available for the HomeTroller Zee S2 Home Automation Controllers at:

?
( ... and if so please could someone point me in its direction ? )

Thanks.

Welcome to the Homeseer 3 forum ECS!!!

Is a BLE plug-in or other HomeSeer Bluetooth solution available?

Since Homeseer 2 there have always been 3rd party bluetooth plugins / scripts but not Homeseer offered Bluetooth plugins.

With the first time integration of the RPi Wi-Fi / Bluetooth it did cause issues with the use of the add on via GPIO Z-Wave modules. Thinking in the beginning you had to shut off the bluetooth on the RPi to get the ZWave GPIO card to work.

The solution which I think works is to utilize an external USB ZWave stick (with a smaller antenna on the RPi) and having the device come up as a /dev/ttyUSBX device.

Unrelated here just went through a blue tooth issue adding a 3rd party Aux audio only bluetooth module to my automobile(s) with already integrated telephony bluetooth. While the new aux audio bluetooth paired up fine with the phone it also mangled the already in place bluetooth telephony stuff which caused the automobile bus / audio stuff to debend or lock up. Might just stick to the already in place wired aux audio which works 100% of the time.
