esphome bluetooth proxy?
Been trying to get a remote daly to show up to a working HA batmon. I can see and pull data just fine when the HA computer is close, but when they're separated and have an esphome proxy attempting to forward connections - no device found. Am I being stupid here? or should this setup work?
I can see the device in the proxy logs, just fine
My understanding is that batmon is not working with bluetooth proxy. I am checking in on this project twice weekly in anticipation for that to work. Untill then I cannot use it.
on the main page:
TODO use the new Bluetooth integration since HA 2022.8 https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/bluetooth/
batmon uses standard BLE connection protocol, so it might work. Your bluetooth proxy must be discoverable with a Bluetooth Low-Energy scan. No compatibility to esphome though, as it uses WiFi for communication.
Actually, this is would require a custom integration (through HACS), as batmon just communicates through mqtt with HA and establishes bluetooth connections through DBus with the bluez stack.
This needs to be implemented, porting batmon from add-on to an Integration. I have no experience with that though

Understanding that this is rather an issue tracker, sorry about my note here.
I asked at micropython discussions if they knew about a way to port bleak from Python to MicroPython, and here's their answer:
There's no direct support for bleak or its exact API as such. Micropython has aioble for asyncio Bluetooth: https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib/tree/master/micropython/bluetooth/aioble
For the higher-level bluetooth aioble library, please refer to this:
https://github.com/micropython/micropython-lib/tree/master/micropython/bluetooth/aioble
As I am no programmer and know little of Python/MicroPython, my question there and here, too, might not be helpful. In that case, I kindly ask you to accept my apologies. 😊
If, however, you see a way that the provided information might be helpful, please let me know. Thank you so much. ❤️
Hi! It says you planned to port batmon so it supports esp32 Bluetooth proxy. Is that done?
I see that all discussion around this request to add ESPHome Proxy seems to be closed ( #179, #187 and 34) any one knows if this resquest is still an Open one or is this been rejected ?
