This morning I checked my HA system to see a notification that a new device had been discovered - a bluetooth Oral-B toothbrush. It offered to install the integration and for fun I said yes. It's installed this toothbrush and I can see how long it was last used for. I suppose it has to belong to a neighbor, but how did HA pick up on it when I did not have Bluetooth installed either as a dongle or an integration?

Edited to add: I have HomeAssistant Green, with the old SkyConnect dongle. No wifi connected to the Green.

Edited again: Now solved. The bluetooth is connecting via the Everything Presence Lite, which I installed yesterday. Useful little device and very responsive.
