Are any fixes planned for this?

Anyone?

Posting here like that will not make anyone work on this any faster. Quite the opposite if you think about it. This is voluntary work by people that do not get paid to do it. Also, anyone can contribute and fix it.

Thanks. I was not expecting any faster work on the fix. I was simply waiting for some sort of acknowledgement since it seems other people aren't having this issue after pairing manually using bluetoothctl.

At the moment, the best option is to use an esphome Bluetooth proxy. Using the bluez (the default Linux Bluetooth stack) is not working properly, unfortunately.

I do have an ESPHome device with Bluetooth proxy enabled in its YAML in the same room. I am not sure how to pair the desk with that specifically. I think I read somewhere that HA does that automatically once it sees Bluetooth proxies.

[abmantis]

I disabled the internal Bluetooth integration on mine, so that it uses esphome only.

i see the same issue when use esphome bluetooth proxy

Yup. The issue is still here with HA v2024.3.3 and ESPHome BT proxy.

https://github.com/home-assistant/core/pull/115939 should hopefully fix this. The next HA beta should contain it.

[VoloshinD]

Who can share the YAML configuration for ESP Home? I don't understand what needs to be written there.

[Yiivgeny]

@VoloshinD, only basic configuration for btproxy https://esphome.io/components/bluetooth_proxy.html without any custom parameters for desk

I installed the firmware on a website with a bluetooth proxy, and added ESP via ip to HA. I turned off Bluetooth on the computer so that integration would not connect through it. It doesn’t connect, I pressed the pairing button, it works well with the phone, but it doesn’t work with HA. Sad story…

[abmantis]

@VoloshinD Make sure that the desk is not connected to anything else. It cannot be connected to the mobile app while pairing to HA. Also, make sure that it is in pairing mode (blue light blinking).

If that does not work, please ask for help on the forums or open another Issue here with debug logs. Thanks!
