Is there any documentation and a specific esp32 Bluetooth proxy you would recommend?
I'm just using a cheap ESP-WROOM-32 but the recommended way to do it is with an wired ethernet-based ESP32 so you don't have interference with the wifi and btle. For a scale this works well enough. I haven't yet received the athom smart plug so I can't recommend it yet. Should be here in a week or so.
Once you've got the proxy you can just use the eufylife integration: https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/eufylife_ble/
To setup the esphome bluetooth proxy you install esphome, and then create a yaml file that you'll use to configure the board, like this:
esphome:
name: bluetooth-proxy
esp32:
board: esp32dev
framework:
type: esp-idf
# Enable logging
logger:
# Enable Home Assistant API
api:
encryption:
key: "YOUR_KEY_HERE"
# Enable OTA updates
ota:
- platform: esphome
# WiFi configuration (matching the settings from your other devices)
wifi:
ssid: "YOUR_WIFI_SSID"
password: "YOUR_WIFI_PASSWORD"
# Enable fallback hotspot (captive portal) in case wifi connection fails
ap:
ssid: "Bluetooth Proxy Fallback"
password: "proxyfallback"
captive_portal:
# Enable ESP32 BLE Tracker
esp32_ble_tracker:
scan_parameters:
active: true
# Enable Bluetooth Proxy
bluetooth_proxy:
active: true
Once that's done, plug in your board to your system and use esphome run bluetooth-proxy.yaml (you might have to find the device it's showing up as in tty.usbserial or whatever).
