![]() ![]() ![]() Optional: Plastic enclosure to fit the ESP32 devkit (or 3D printer).5v USB Power supply providing at least 0.5 amps (an old cellphone charger will do fine).ESP32 development board has an ESP32 chip (Bluetooth and Wifi already integrated) plus an USB interface for powering up flashing.In this project we are going to need few items: These days ESPHome can be installed directly from Home Assistant Add-On store and configured from Home Assistant UI!īluetooth Proxy is a gateway software that listens for ‘all’ Bluetooth traffic and forwards them to the Home Assistant instance. In 2021 Nabu Casa (Home Assistant developer company) acquired ESPHome and integrated the whole ESPHome system more deep into the Home Assistant Core. ESPHome has tons of ready made configurations, libraries and examples. ESP32 software can be developed with easy to learn Arduino, but is not excluded to only that.ĮSPHome is a platform developed for ESP32/ESP8266 and is mainly used for Smart Home devices. In theory, it can be battery operated if put on a deep sleep, but with casual use cases a permanent power connection is required. ESP32 a very powerful and has low power consumption. ESP32, ESPHome and Bluetooth ProxyĮSP32, ESPHome and Bluetooth Proxy? A little introduction to get used to these terms.ĮSP32 is a MCU with integrated WiFi and Bluetooth (successor of popular ESP8266). In this post I’m going through the process of installing ESPHome and flashing Bluetooth Proxy into an ESP32 device and connecting BLE device to Home Assistant through it. In previous post I briefly looked into SwitchBot Bluetooth ecosystem and promised to write a post about setting up a Bluetooth Proxy using ESP32 and ESPHome.
