Current evaluation

OpenHAB snap on Ubuntu Core 18 fails BlueZ binding init (HANDLER_INITIALIZING_ERROR); reporter asks how to grant the snap Bluetooth access (user in bluetooth group or a bluetooth plug in snapcraft.yaml). No maintainer response; ~7.3 years old.

Suggested action: close not a bug

Reason: The body is a usage/configuration question ('how does one add the OS user to the bluetooth group on ubuntu snappy core?'), not a reproducible defect in the project's code, and it targets Ubuntu Core 18 which is long past EOL. With 0 comments, no labels, and no maintainer interaction in 2682 days, there is no open work to track; the answer (connect the bluetooth plug / group membership) belongs in snapd or OpenHAB documentation, not this repo.

Impact: 5 Quick Win: 4.5 Staleness: 95 Complexity: 10 Confidence: 75 Support Request: 90

Issue body

BlueZ OpenHAB addon/binding thing Status: "UNINITIALIZED - HANDLER_INITIALIZING_ERROR" i found this remark in the openhab documentation of blueZ: “Also note that the OS user needs to be a member of the “bluetooth” group of Linux in order to have the rights to access the BlueZ stack” how does one add “the OS user” to the “bluetooth group” on ubuntu snappy core? or does the openhap snap (snapcraft.yaml) have to associate/consumes/implement/use the bluetooth/bluez plug (as sugested by the cannonical snapcraft.yaml documentation: “When a plug is connected to one of these slots, the application will be granted the permissions specified for that interface”)? Ubuntu Core 18 on Raspberry PI 3B
