Nice! Little hidden secret for sure. I had to test it myself when I saw it on a test box.

Thanks! Old school and real without the script nonsense.

Many thanks!

Will do

These aren't Bluetooth repeaters.

Someone might have complained saying my 14 min one was too long before so I did a 2 for one. The ones that like the long ones even got a longer video so win win right?

You can turn on the logging as verbose and see the logs. It can get crazy depending on traffic of Bluetooth. Other than that it is unplug each and test one by one to see if sensors work or not.

I don't have or use UniFi routers though so it would definitely trip up some folks trying to do full stacks.

Nice to hear about the setup! And nawww.... it isn't going to cause any interference really. You probably have a lot bluetooth around already from other things as it is. Bluetooth jumps around with smaller narrow channels as needed.

Not sure if those are supported by the built in integration of Govee. Have you tried this one? www.home-assistant.io/integrations/govee_light_local/

I had one stop working and then how hot they get compared to others.

I think it is triggered by the delta. I can put it outside and check to see the change if it is driven by time or temp.

Which lock is it? The non pro one? Is it working with other Bluetooth devices?

@@digiblurDIY yes the non pro. I don't have any other Bluetooth to test at the moment. But I looked into the Shelly logs and the Bluetooth mac address of the lock shows as discovered.

I doubt it unless you can obtain the Bluetooth encryption key

@@digiblurDIY It connected to a Adaproxy bridge that had came with my Fingerbot; did the bridge have the key? I thought it would connect to the hub as it does to my phone. I am able to have local Tuya work on HA using their keys, maybe I can get the bluetooth key that way as well?

No worries, ask away. In my opinion I wouldn't combine all that. Bluetooth can get kind of busy so I wouldn't have it with something else that takes a lot of processing. Trying to save $20 to later potentially give me hours of trouble isn't worth it.

I assume HAOS? If it isn't popping in then that chipset probably isn't supported.

great question!

Before you go down the rabbit hole of trying to see if your onboard BLE is supported read the "before you begin section" www.home-assistant.io/integrations/bluetooth/#before-you-begin

It does show up in HA, but it says there is entities

It says it is passive

Sorry. I was having a bad day. 🤣

@@digiblurDIY It was perfect!

Not literally lol.. Just another shameless quote I keep hearing on news sites.

Oh and nice name! The kiddo got to fly one a few years ago. I have some video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/rr9phqRqmLvIiKM.html

@@digiblurDIY That is AWESOME!! I haven't flown in several years.. hope to get back to it! One of my FAVORITE things about flying was to take people for rides like that.. especially kids. Save your money - I bet you're going to be paying for flying lessons soon!! :-) One time, I took a 9 year old girl, and when we were about 300' up, literally still over the runway climbing up, without warning, she yelled "My turn" and stiff-armed the controls and tried to take over.. Luckily it was easy to overpower a small 9 year old girl, and nothing bad happened, but it certainly made me include "dont grab the controls until I let you know!" to my preflight briefing!!

Is it the esp32 model of the plug?

@@digiblurDIY Its the Shelly Plus Plug US, the same as in this video (got from your Amazon link).

@digiblurDYI any thoughts on this?

Proxy? Yes the Shelly esp32 devices can be enabled

​@@digiblurDIYfor Bluetooth proximity sensors, to locate devices in your home. I know you can run it on esp32.

You can use it to configure a dashboard on your device based on the room it's in.

No idea there. I would assume it would be the same as other Bluetooth proxies sending data to HA to process.

what settings? I know some of those just pop in as the BT device but I know the devs of HA having been saying to just go BT proxy now for stability and such.

If it is supported by the Bluetooth component in HA.

Does the person have onboard BLE? :) I'm not away of ESPHome of Shelly exposing that to see which device it came from but then again I haven't dug into the room presence thing since my humans do not have onboard BLE yet.

@@digiblurDIY With iPhones now days is good to know where people are in the house. Just a sample case, if somebody put clothes on the washer machine I will know who was to message later when ready.

Looks like it isn't available on Amazon might be one of the reasons

You can add more than one wifi ssid on Esphome from what I remember

Aqara is Thread/Zigbee

@@digiblurDIY Its locks specifically use bluetooth for some odd reason.

Regular PLA like I used for many other cases. The Olimex just gets smoking hot.

@digiblurDIY Don't use pla for electronic enclosures. Use petg or abs. Pla is brittle and can easily break in time.

I have some enclosures that ran for years without issues. But they don't get hot so lesson learned there.

Nope. Tasmota does not support Esphome Bluetooth proxy at this time.

@@digiblurDIY okay. thanks

Because coincells don't work well. They just freeze up.

You can manually add Esphome devices. Hit add and hit Esphome then put that IP in.

What should replace this? It's being implemented in so many more products now.

@@digiblurDIY a ground up rethink. Not 2.4ghz for a start, standardised and adhered to transmit and receive power and antenna design. Bluetooth was great for its time when it came out 20 years ago but it’s time for something more reliable and standardised.

I thought the same until I got some Bluetooth devices setup in my camper. It is at remote location to my home assistant instance and I can use wireguard along with Bluetooth proxy on an esp32 device to have them still show up in home assistant. Pretty cool.

@@jasonsmathers2361 Great to hear they’re working well. I do fear this just reinforces my judgement though. Blue tooth assumes a nice, congestion free 2.4 ghz environment so no residential density and very short distances between gateway. It’s compromised on just so many levels. After 20+ years I would expect a dedicated radio band sub 2ghz for IoT that is NOT licensed and has rigorous standards. As it stands it’s just a sh** show. My opinion is based on having multiple esp32 gateways both wired Poe and wireless and following what is going on with chatter in the logs. It’s a debarkle. Pretty much only useful for one way devices where it doesn’t matter if it takes 1sec or 300 and 20 retransmits for a byte of info to be received. Bluetooth is cheap and nasty. Mostly nasty.

@@OzDrizzleDrizzle I agree, not the greatest for in a congested environment, but checkout Hubble Network. Bluetooth connection to a satellite.. assuming it ends up happening.
