Bluetooth drivers on PR4100?

Legacy Products My Cloud OS 3
1

Hi,
I’ve finally decide to use my PR4100 for more than just keeping my files safe, and I have decided to install Home Assistant.
It works pretty well, but I’m facing some issues with integrations that need to reach the devices via bluetooth (e.g. switchbot).
I’ve added a BT dongle on the usb ports but it seems that in general the OS doesn’t have any support for BT.
I’m looking into alternatives (e.g. having a BT-MQTT gateway on a RPI) but I wondered if someone from this community ever succeed in activating bluetooth on a PR4100 and if he/she could point me to some guide.

Thanks in advance,
Insac

Thank you for the suggestion. I’ll open the case on the WD site (https://support-en.wd.com/app/askweb). I’m however not so hopeful, as I guess my request is not a standard one related to NAS

Ufficial answer: “I am sorry to inform you that usb port on your device can only be used for backup and usb external drives purposes.”

While I understand that I am most probably necroing dead thread…

You should be able to map USB port to docker container. It should not matter if the host machine has drivers, once mapped it becomes a container USB port.
