Beginner help with ESPHome / Bluetooth proxy

[AldoQ]

@Edwin_D

That software can then expose it as a device to HA (either through the HA api or MQTT. I hadn’t googled very long but did come across this (but it isn’t esphome i saw later):

I had used the API in the part, but it was very unreliable. Got a new more ESP’s and got this one running fairly quickly (even with my youngest kid constantly asking me questions as he was stuck “programming” in scratch as a major diversion ) ! All switchbot devices are now getting into HA through MQTT. Very nice Thank you for pointing me in this direction.
