Explain how to verify that bluetooth integration requirements are met

[Abdull]

Feedback

I use Home Assistant Core 2024.6 on a Raspberry Pi 4B, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (jammy).

https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/bluetooth currently lists the following requirements for Linux systems:

• The D-Bus socket must be accessible to Home Assistant.
• The Bluetooth adapter must be accessible to D-Bus and running BlueZ >= 5.43. It is highly recommended to use BlueZ >= 5.63 as older versions have been reported to be unreliable.
• The D-Bus implementation should be dbus-broker.
• The host system should be running Linux kernel 5.15.62 or later.

Please provide commands for verifying if these requirements are already met; and please provide commands which make an Home Assistant installation / system running Home Assistant meet these requirements.

Also, please add further clarification and considerations on the impact on making changes. E.g. I assume that changing the D-Bus implementation is a nontrivial undertaking with problematic edge cases.

Hey there @bdraco, mind taking a look at this feedback as it has been labeled with an integration (bluetooth) you are listed as a code owner for? Thanks!
