Bluetooth Proxy

1. Prerequisite:

To add Bluetooth devices in Home Assistant (HA), we need to use an ESP32 Bluetooth proxy. By configuring the ESP32 with ESPHome, we can turn it into a Bluetooth proxy, allowing it to transmit data from Bluetooth devices to Home Assistant for remote reception and control.

The steps to add a Bluetooth proxy in HA can be found in this video:https://youtu.be/CjpPdwK_ttg?si=qrtO0ekG3L44PQ8l

2. Add ESP32 Bluetooth proxy:

  1. Once the ESP32 Bluetooth proxy is ready, please connect it to the same local network as the ISG. Next, open the ISG's Home Assistant (HA) page. Click on Settings - Devices & services.

  1. Under the "Discovered " category, you will find a device named "esp32s3_ble_proxy ESPHome" that has been detected. Click the "Add" button to complete the device addition process.
