Pull request overview

This PR updates the Gardena Bluetooth integration documentation to help readers understand and resolve connection problems caused by device-side pairing limits when using new Bluetooth adapters or Bluetooth proxies.

Changes:

  • Adds a new section explaining how Gardena devices restrict connections to previously paired Bluetooth adapters/proxies.
  • Provides a recommendation to re-enter pairing mode to resolve connection timeouts after changing adapters/proxies.

@c0ffeeca7 c0ffeeca7 changed the title Add note about pairing Gardena Bluetooth: add note about pairing May 20, 2026

Gardena devices remember previously paired Bluetooth adapters, up to 10, and only allow connections from those adapters. If you replace your adapter or use multiple Bluetooth proxies, the device must be paired with that proxy or adapter before it will connect. Otherwise, the device silently ignores the connection attempt. In Home Assistant, this usually appears as timeout errors.

If you have connection issues, put the device back into pairing mode so it can learn the new proxy or Bluetooth adapter.

Further down, it says you have to factory reset the device before pairing.
