Anyone integrated a steering wheel bluetooth control?

Has anyone tried integrating one of these with esphome? It seems like a good thing to leave about the house to be able to control music, and perhaps anything else, as it could presumably act as a 5 button switch once integrated. There are various designs with slightly different icons.

Hi, that’s a cool part! Looks similar to the IKEA Tradfri remote. I also immediately came up with some things that you could control with it. As a receiver for the Bluetooth signal would work here, right?

Setting up the board is described on the ESPHome.io page. But I have none of these two devices.
In this video, a temperature sensor is integrated with the ESP32 board in HA. Thanks for the video!!

And thanks @nickrout for the idea, will watch the topic!

Yeah I have the Xiaomi temp/humidity and the Miflora devices connected to HA via a BLE/esphome.

I think I’ll just buy one and see what happens. If the worse comes to the worse, it’ll sit with all the other unfinished projects in the study…

You cant use that temperature and humidity component to monitor your steering wheel. It’s a completely separate component written specifically for that device.

You would have to ask for it to be added (sending Otto a sample would help).
