I have the same error message. Hassio in Docker on Ubuntu, this happens on boot. New bluetooth dongle which is recogized by ubuntu.

I'm having the same issue as the original issue. Bluetooth_tracker works for a few hours and then stops. This is running in a Python venv on a Raspberry Pi3B using its internal Bluetooth adapter.

I can get it working by restarting Home Assistant and sometimes by running:

$ bluetoothctl : scan on : scan off

I also get the same error in my logs, but it doesn't seem to correspond to exactly when the Bluetooth tracker stops working.

I'm suffering from a bluetooth issue that appeared yesterday in the latest build HA and Supervisor versions, reverting to an old snapshot didn't resolve the issue.
