Sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext/īoth the actual Bluetooth entry in System Preferences, that was missing before as well as an entry in System Report > Bluetooth finally appeared! Sudo chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions/BrcmFirmwareRepo.kext/ Sudo chmod -R 755 /System/Library/Extensions/BrcmPatchRAM2.kext/

Sudo chown -R 0:0 /System/Library/Extensions/BrcmPatchRAM2.kext/ Which told me 2 error messages: BrcmFirmwareStore and BrcmPatchRAM2 had the wrong permissions. * While that didn't work at first, I then tried to refresh the kext cache the files didn't show up in kextstat. I tried putting the kext files in /L/E, didn't work so I tried /S/L/E. So I got "BrcmFirmwareStore" and "BrcmPatchRAM2" from RehabMan. Without kext files, nothing worked "OOB" with my USB dongle. I have a little update on getting BCM20702 running in Mojave: A Ugreen BT 5.3 did not work, no drivers for linux, need to find another.Bluetooth + AirDrop + Apple Watch "Auto Unlock" + Continuity / Handoff However, the wireless performance of this dongle is terrible to say the least. Bluetooth: hci1: Broadcom Bluetooth Device Bluetooth: hci1: BCM: 'brcm/BCM-0a5c-21e8.hcd'Īfter copying the firmware file to PC: Bluetooth: hci1: BCM: chip id 63 Bluetooth: hci1: BCM: firmware Patch file not found, tried: On the PC, the error was the same: Bluetooth: hci1: BCM: chip id 63

However, HA finds the bluetooth adapter and configures it, but it does not work properly (for instance, in my case it does not find any BLE device like beacons - even I having almost side by side). Too late to answer, but BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e8.hcd is not present in the home assistant OS. Bluetooth: hci0: BCM: Patch brcm/BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e8.hcd not foundĮdit: Scratch this…it looks like it is actually able to use the dongle. bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for brcm/BCM20702A1-0a5c-21e8.hcd failed with error -2 usb 2-2.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3

usb 2-2.2: New USB device found, idVendor=0a5c, idProduct=21e8, bcdDevice= 1.12 usb 2-2.2: new full-speed USB device number 6 using uhci_hcd It sees it but doesn’t look like the proper driver is there…anyone know one that works? usb 2-2.2: USB disconnect, device number 5 I’ve got a BCM20702A0 chipset dongle and have passed it through to the Hassio VM.

There was a github pull at some point that was supposed to add support for Bluetooth dongles on all platforms which I took to include the HassOS VMDK. Is anyone whose using the HassOS VMDK on ESXi successfully using a bluetooth dongle?
