What's new in Kiosk Satellite 2026.8.64
A follow-up to the latest Bluetooth proxy fix: the one failure mode that still needed a manual reboot now heals itself.
New: The proxy heals a wedged scanner by itself
- Some Bluetooth stacks wedge their scan-client table, typically after an app update kills the proxy mid-scan, and from then on refuse every scan registration until the adapter restarts. Home Assistant surfaces this as the "scanner is in a bad state and needs to be power cycled" warning and asks you to reboot the device by hand; it is also the state behind a proxy that looks alive but delivers nothing to Bermuda (#246).
- On Android 12L and older, exactly the device generation that wedges (Fire OS tablets and Echo Shows among them), the proxy now restarts the Bluetooth adapter itself after repeated registration failures and resumes scanning the moment it comes back. Newer Android versions no longer allow apps to restart the adapter, so there the log names the problem and the reboot advice stands.
- Scan failures in the proxy log now carry their meaning ("registration failed", "internal error") instead of a bare error code, so a pasted log answers what went wrong without a lookup table.
