The bluetti_mqtt does not work over the ESPHome bluetooth proxy

[Karatzie]

Hello warhammerkid.

Thanks for your great Home Assistant integration for Bluetti powerstations. I am currently integrating the AC200Max into my Home Assistant system. Since I don't want to use the battery near the Home Assistant Raspberry Pi in different places, I have loaded the ESPHome Bluetooth Proxy on an ESP32. However, I can't get a connection to the Bluetti via this. Link: https://esphome.github.io/bluetooth-proxies/ When I load the Bluetooth Proxy's diagosis information from the Home Assistant's device list, I see that the Bluetooth Proxy has found the Bluetti. However, the bluetti_MQTT integration only seems to access the Bluetooth of the Raspberry Pi. Is it possible to activate the Bluetooth Proxy in your bluetti_MQTT?

bluetti_mqtt is a standalone python program that sends its data to an MQTT Server of your choice. So there is no actual connection between bluetti_mqtt and Home Assistant.

What you're likely using is this wrapper, which really just makes it easier to install bluetti_mqtt on your home assistant instance, but doesn't really integrate it: https://github.com/SSMCD/bluetti2mqtt

You would have to ask the author of the wrapper integration you're using if they can find a way to present the ESPHome bluetooth proxy to bluetti_mqtt.

Another option (in some places work in progress) is this integration I created recently, based on this repository
