Passing Bluetooth

[PhilC]

I am new to Proxmox and have set-up a server (MiniForums MS-01) and all is working; however I now need to expose the on-board Bluetooth to one of my VMs (Home Assistant) and this is where I get stuck :-(

Given the results of lsusb and lspci below, can anyone guide me what needs to be done?

Hi!

As reported in another thread [0], WiFi is provided over the PCIe bus and Bluetooth over the USB controller. In this case, you should be able to passthrough the Bluetooth USB controller Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0e8d:c616 MediaTek Inc. Wireless_Device to the VM directly via USB passthrough as described here [1].

Excellent thanks - that was such easier than I thought it would be.
