AM43 blinds control through MQTT

I have installed the sample yaml via esphome and changed to my mac address etc.
When I install the code i get this error

What am I doing wrong?

Hi All,

If anyone is interested I have got this working with ESP32-Wroom-32. Initially had some issues with the BLE connection but the NimBLE people sorted it almost immediately.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/ESP-32S-Development-2-4GHz-Bluetooth-Antenna/dp/B071JR9WS9

Was wondering though which custom component you guys are using for this to control the curtain manually?

can someone explain this to me please?

#define SHADE_1 ā€œ02:e6:93:bf:85:ceā€
#define SHADE_2 ā€œ11:22:33:44:55:66ā€
#define SHADE_3 ā€œ11:22:33:44:55:66ā€

#define DEVICE_ALLOWLIST ā€œā€
//#define DEVICE_ALLOWLIST SHADE_1
//#define DEVICE_ALLOWLIST SHADE_1 ā€œ,ā€ SHADE_2 ā€œ,ā€ SHADE_3

I have been with this for two days and I am not able to make it work, it only ā€œpublishesā€ ā€œlwtā€ and ā€œenabledā€ no more data

You can use this without external_components.
AM43 is now supported in ESPHome by default.

Thanks Chris for a greate template, iā€™ve continued your job, and here what i got:

  1. fixed ā€˜Unknownā€™ batteryā€™s state issue
  2. two blinds are controled, and easelly extend their count if necessary.
  3. blinds are merged to single (donā€™t necessary to create group in HA), i guess that here is no problem to split them if youā€™d like to conrol blinds separatly
  4. adding position control

Can anyone share a configuration for a single blind with ble on/off etc?
I canā€™t get it to workā€¦

Thank you for your script, this looks really nice.

What I canā€™t get to work is setting the position. Does it work for you?

Somehow variable ā€œposā€ does not get transfered to global var ā€œpositionā€.
The position_action (cover: template) does have the pos value (see below), but the script does not have the id(position) value (always 0). I double checked that I have the globals set and consulted the docs but canā€™t figure out whats wrong. (Iā€™m a noob with such scripting.)

[07:52:45][D][cover:076]: 'Buro Cover' - Setting
[07:52:45][D][cover:084]:   Position: 31%
[07:52:45][I][main:161]: Enabling BLE...
[07:52:45][D][switch:013]: 'Buro Blind BLE' Turning ON.
[07:52:45][I][main:174]: BLE clients connected
[07:52:45][D][cover:076]: 'buro_blinds_am43_cover_internal' - Setting
[07:52:45][D][cover:084]:   Position: 0%

For testing, I moved the script part to the cover:template like this and it works:

    position_action:
      then:
#        - lambda: |-
#            id(position) = pos;
#        - script.execute: position_action
#        - script.wait: position_action

##temp edit: moved position_action-script to cover-template, replaced id(position) with pos
        - script.execute: enable_ble
        - script.wait: enable_ble
        - if:
            condition:
              and:
                - binary_sensor.is_on: buro_blinds_am43_connected
            then:
              - lambda: |-
                  auto call = id(buro_blinds_am43_cover_internal).make_call();
                  call.set_position(pos);
                  call.perform();

I am having the same issue and I am not using external_components. Any idea on how to resolve it?

I think you need to describe your problem and what your logs show. Not quite sure what you are referring to when replying to my comment.

Would be great if someone could paste a working configuration and/or short description on how to get it running with ESPhome if NOT using a separate ESP32 (or other device). I canā€™t install any of the configurations above as Iā€™m trying to install it on the main device which is not a ESP32.

I understand the ā€œexternal componentsā€ line is no longer necessary, right?

How should the ESPhome yaml look like if running on a standalone machine?

Thank you so much!

Got it to work on an ESP32 (Wroom). Kind of, that is: It worked once (both blinds went up), but since then I couldnā€™t connect to the blinds anymore and itā€™s very unstable overall.

Does anyone have any idea how to make it more stable?

Hmm, strange thing, i donā€™t have any trouble with lambda, glade that you have found workaround)

what should i flash it with? or only set it up and connect to the device?

You should read a bit on esphome.io to get a better understanding. There you can also find relevant channels to ask for or find more generic help.

Thank you, working really nice!

looks great, but canā€™t connect to my AM43

16:34:06	[I]	[main:275]	
... waiting connection ...
16:34:06	[W]	[am43:098]	
[02:9E:88:EB:B5:F6] Cannot poll, not connected

Itā€™s to old (2020) or what I think Iā€™m trying all :confused:

make sure that you have set valid mac in the ble_client.mac_address and sensor.platform: ble_rssi.mac_address. And double check pin, ble_client_id, id for cover.platform: am43 sections. Donā€™t hesitate to share you conf and logs if there is some issues still.
